+udev 077
+========
+Fix a problem if udevsend is used as the hotplug handler and tries to use
+syslog, which causes a "vc" event loop. 2.6.15 will make udevsend obsolete
+and this kind of problems will hopefully go away soon.
+
+udev 076
+========
+All built-in logic to work around bad sysfs timing is removed with this
+version. The need to wait for sysfs files is almost fixed with a kernel
+version that doesn't work with this udev version anyway. Until we fix
+the timing of the "bus" link creation, the former integrated logic should
+be emulated by a rule placed before all other rules:
+ ACTION=="add", DEVPATH=="/devices/*", ENV{PHYSDEVBUS}=="?*", WAIT_FOR_SYSFS="bus"
+
+The option "udev_db" does no longer exist. All udev state will be in
+/$udev_root/.udev/ now, there is no longer an option to set this
+to anything else.
+If the init script or something else used this value, just depend on
+this hardcoded path. But remember _all_content_ of this directory is
+still private to udev and can change at any time.
+
+Default location for rule sripts and helper programs is now: /lib/udev/.
+Everything that is not useful on the commandline should go into this
+directory. Some of the helpers in the extras folder are installed there
+now. The rules need to be changed, to find the helpers there.
+
+Also /lib/udev/devices is recommended as a directory where packages or
+the user can place real device nodes, which get copied over to /dev at
+every boot. This should replace the various solutions with custom config
+files.
+
+Udevsend does no longer start the udev daemon. This must be done with
+the init script that prepares /dev on tmpfs and creates the initial nodes,
+before starting the daemon.
+
+udev 075
+========
+Silent a too verbose error logging for the old hotplug.d/ dev.d/
+emulation.
+
+The copy of klibc is removed. A systemwide installed version of klibc
+should be used to build a klibc udev now.
+
+udev 074
+========
+NAME="" will not create any nodes, but execute RUN keys. To completely
+ignore an event the OPTION "ignore_device" should be used.
+
+After removal of the reorder queue, events with a TIMEOUT can be executed
+without any queuing now.
+
+udev 073
+========
+Fixed bug in udevd, if inotify is not available. We depend on netlink
+uevents now, kernels without that event source will not work with that
+version of udev anymore.
+
+udev 072
+========
+The rule parsing happens now in the daemon once at startup, all udev
+event processes inherit the already parsed rules from the daemon.
+It is shipped with SUSE10.0 and reduces heavily the system load at
+startup. The option to save precompiled rules and let the udev process
+pick the them up is removed, as it's no longer needed.
+
+Kernel 2.6.15 will have symlinks at /class/input pointing to the real
+device. Libsysfs is changed to "translate" the requested link into the
+real device path, as it would happen with the hotplug event. Otherwise
+device removal and the udev database will not work.
+
+Using 'make STRIPCMD=' will leave the binaries unstripped for debugging
+and packaging.
+
+A few improvements for vol_id, the filesytem probing code.
+

========
Fix a stupid typo in extras/run_directory for "make install".
