-A writable /run directory (tmpfs) is required now for a fully functional
-udev.
+The 'devtmpfs' filesystem is required now, udev will not create or delete
+device nodes anymore, it only adjusts permissions and ownership of device
+nodes and maintains additional symlinks.

+A writable /run directory (ususally tmpfs) is required now for a fully
+functional udev, there is no longer a fallback to /dev/.udev.
The default 'configure' install locations have changed. Packages for systems
with the historic / vs. /usr split need to be adapted, otherwise udev will
-be installed in /usr and not work properly. Example configuration options are
-in INSTALL.

The default install location of the 'udevadm' tool moved from 'sbin'

+The expected value of '--libexecdir=' has changed and must no longer contain
+the 'udev' directory.
Kernel modules are now loaded directly by linking udev to 'libkmod'. The
'modprobe' tool is no longer executed by udev.
All built-in tools can be listed and tested with 'udevadm test-builtin'.
The 'udevadm control --reload-rules' option has been renamed to '--reload'.

The udev build system only creates a .xz tarball now.
+All tabs in the source code used for indentation are replaced by spaces now. :)
