+Bugfixes.
 
-DVB device naming is supplied by the kernel now. To support older
-kernels, the old shell script should be added to a possible compat
+The program vol_id and the library libvolume_id are removed from the
+repository. Libvolume_id is merged with libblkid from the util-linux-ng
+package. Persistent disk links for label and uuid depend on the
+util-linux-ng version (2.15) of blkid now. Older versions of blkid
+can not be used with udev.
+
+Libudev allows to subscribe to udev events. To prevent unwanted messages
+to be delivered, and waking up the subscribing process, a filter can be
+installed, to drop messages inside a kernel socket filter. The filters
+match on the <subsytem>:<devtype> properties of the device.
+    This is part of the ongoing effort to replace HAL, and switch current
+users over to directly use libudev.
+    Libudev is still marked as experimental, and its interface might
+eventually change if needed, but no major changes of the currently exported
+interface are expected anymore, and a first stable release should happen
+soon.
+
+A too old kernel (2.6.21) or a kernel with CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED
+is not supported since while and udevd will log an error message at
+startup. It should still be able to boot-up, but advanced rules and system
+services which depend on the information not available in the old sysfs
+format will fail to work correctly.
+
+DVB device naming is supplied by the kernel now. In case older kernels
+need to be supported, the old shell script should be added to a compat
 rules file.
