+udev 158
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+All distribution specific rules are removed from the udev source tree,
+most of them are no longer needed. The Gentoo rules which allow to support
+older kernel versions, which are not covered by the default rules anymore
+has moved to rules/misc/30-kernel-compat.rules.
+
+udev 157
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+The option --debug-trace and the environemnt variable UDEVD_MAX_CHILDS=
+was removed from udevd.
+
+Udevd now checks the kernel commandline for the following variables:
+ udev.log-priority=<syslog priority>
+ udev.children-max=<maximum number of workers>
+ udev.exec-delay=<seconds to delay the execution of RUN=>
+to help debuging coldplug setups where the loading of a kernel
+module crashes the system.
+
+The subdirectory in the source tree rules/packages has been renamed to
+rules/arch, anc contains only architecture specific rules now.

+
+udev 155
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+Now the udev daemon itself, does on startup:
+ - copy the content of /lib/udev/devices to /dev
+ - create the standard symlinks like /dev/std{in,out,err},
+ /dev/core, /dev/fd, ...
+ - use static node information provided by kernel modules
+ and creates these nodes to allow module on-demand loading
+ - possibly apply permissions to all ststic nodes from udev
+ rules which are annotated to match a static node
+
+The default mode for a device node is 0600 now to match the kernel
+created devtmpfs defaults. If GROUP= is specified and no MODE= is
+given the default will be 0660.
+
+udev 154
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+Udev now gradually starts to pass control over the primary device nodes
+and their names to the kernel, and will in the end only manage the
+permissions of the node, and possibly create additional symlinks.
+As a first step NAME="" will be ignored, and NAME= setings with names
+other than the kernel provided name will result in a logged warning.
+Kernels that don't provide device names, or devtmpfs is not used, will
+still work as they did before, but it is strongly recommended to use
+only the same names for the primary device node as the recent kernel
+provides for all devices.

+Fix broken firmware loader search path.
+
+udev 152
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+"udevadm trigger" defaults to "change" events now instead of "add"
+events. The "udev boot script" might need to add "--action=add" to
+the trigger command if not already there, in case the initial coldplug
+events are expected as "add" events.
+
+The option "all_partitons" was removed from udev. This should not be
+needed for usual hardware. Udev can not safely make assumptions
+about non-existing partition major/minor numbers, and therefore no
+longer provide this unreliable and unsafe option.
+
+The option "ignore_remove" was removed from udev. With devtmpfs
+udev passed control over device nodes to the kernel. This option
+should not be needed, or can not work as advertised. Neither
+udev nor the kernel will remove device nodes which are copied from
+the /lib/udev/devices/ directory.
+
+All "add|change" matches are replaced by "!remove" in the rules and
+in the udev logic. All types of events will update possible symlinks
+and permissions, only "remove" is handled special now.
+
+The modem modeswitch extra was removed and the external usb_modeswitch
+program should be used instead.
+
+New and fixed keymaps.

+
+udev 150
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+Kernels with SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y are not supported since a while. Many users
+depend on the current sysfs layout and the information not available in the
+deprecated layout. All remaining support for the deprecated sysfs layout is
+removed now.
