+udev 169
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+We require at least Linux kernel 2.6.32 now. Some platforms might
+require a later kernel that supports accept4(), or need to backport
+the accept4() syscall wiring.
+
+The hid2hci tool move to the bluez package and was removed.
+
+Many of the extras can be -enabled/--disabled during configure
+now. The --disable-extras option was removed. To check the
+current options, the usual './configure --help' prints them.
+
+udev 168
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+Udev logs a warning now if /run is not writable at udevd
+startup. It will still fall back to /dev/.udev, but this is
+now considered a bug.
+
+The running udev daemon can now cleanly shut down with:
+ udevadm control --exit
+
+Udev in initramfs should clean the state of the udev database
+with: udevadm info --cleanup-db which will remove all state left
+behind from events/rules in initramfs. If initramfs uses
+--cleanup-db and device-mapper/LVM, the rules in initramfs need
+to add OPTIONS+="db_persist" for all dm devices. This will
+prevent removal of the udev database for these devices.
+
+Spawned programs by PROGRAM/IMPORT/RUN now have a hard timeout of
+120 seconds per process. If that timeout is reached the spawned
+process will be killed. The event timeout can be overwritten with
+udev rules.
+
+If systemd is used, udev gets now activated by netlink data.
+Systemd will bind the netlink socket which will buffer all data.
+If needed, such setup allows a seemless update of the udev daemon,
+where no event can be lost during a udevd update/restart.
+Packages need to make sure to: systemctl stop udev.socket udev.service
+or 'mask' udev.service during the upgrade to prevent any unwanted
+auto-spawning of udevd.
+This version of udev conflicts with systemd version below 25. The
+unchanged service files will not wirk correctly.
+
+udev 167
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+The udev runtime data moved from /dev/.udev/ to /run/udev/. The
+/run mountpoint is supposed to be a tmpfs mounted during early boot,
+available and writable to for all tools at any time during bootup,
+it replaces /var/run/, which should become a symlink some day.
+
+If /run does not exist, or is not writable, udev will fall back using
+/dev/.udev/.
+
+On systemd systems with initramfs and LVM used, packagers must
+make sure, that the systemd and initramfs versions match. The initramfs
+needs to create the /run mountpoint for udev to store the data, and
+mount this tmpfs to /run in the rootfs, so the that the udev database
+is preserved for the udev version started in the rootfs.
+
+The command 'udevadm info --convert-db' is gone. The udev daemon
+itself, at startup, converts any old database version if necessary.
+
+The systemd services files have been reorganized. The udev control
+socket is bound by systemd and passed to the started udev daemon.
+The udev-settle.service is no longer active by default. Services which
+can not handle hotplug setups properly need to actively pull it in, to
+act like a barrier. Alternatively the settle service can be unconditionally
+'systemctl'enabled, and act like a barrier for basic.target.
+
+The fstab_import callout is no longer built or installed. Udev
+should not be used to mount, does not watch changes to fstab, and
+should not mirror fstab values in the udev database.
