@@ -9,10 +9,33 @@ Please do not port anything to the new format again, everything in /dev/.udev
 is and always was private to udev, and may and will change any time without
 prior notice.
 
+Multiple devices claiming the same names in /dev are limited to symlinks
+only now. Mixing identical symlink names and node names is not supported.
+This reduces the amount of data in the database significantly.
+
 NAME="%k" causes a warning now. It's is and always was completely superfluous.
 It will break kernel supplied DEVNAMEs and therefore it needs to be removed
 from all rules.
 
+Most NAME= instructions got removed. Kernel 2.6.31 supplies the needed names
+if they are not the default. To support older kernels, the NAME= rules need to
+be added to the compat rules file.
+
+Symlinks to udevadm with the old command names are no longer resolved to
+the udevadm commands.
+
+The udev-acl tool got adopted to changes in ConsoleKit. Version 0.4.11 is
+required now.
+
+The option "last_rule" does no longer exist. Its use breaks too many
+things which expect to be run from independent later rules, and is an idication
+that something needs to be fixed properly instead.
+
+The gudev API is no longer marked as experimental,
+G_UDEV_API_IS_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE is no longer needed. The gudev introspection
+is enabled by default now. Various projects already depend on introspection
+information to bind dynamic languages to the gudev interfaces.
