+udev 115
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+The etc/udev/rules.d/ directory now contains a default set of basic
+udev rules. This initial version is the result of a rules file merge
+of Fedora and openSUSE. For these both distros only a few specific
+rules are left in their own file, named after the distro. Rules which
+are optionally installed, because they are only valid for a specific
+architecture, or rules for subsystems which are not always used are
+in etc/udev/packages/.
+
+udev 114
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+Dynamic rules can be created in /dev/.udev/rules.d/ to trigger
+actions by dynamically created rules.
+
+SYMLINK=="<value>" matches agains the entries in the list of
+currently defined symlinks. The links are not created in the
+filesystem at that point in time, but the values can be matched.
+
+RUN{ignore_error}+="<program>" will ignore any exit code from the
+program and not record as a failed event.
+
+udev 113
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+Final merge of patches/features from the Ubuntu package.
+
+udev 112
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+Control characters in filesystem label strings are no longer silenty
+removed, but hex-encoded, to be able to uniquely identify the device
+by its symlink in /dev/disk/by-label/.
+If libvolume_id is used by mount(8), LABEL= will work as expected,
+if slashes or other characters are used in the label string.
+
+To test the existence of a file, TEST=="<file>" and TEST!="<file>"
+can be specified now. The TEST key accepts an optional mode mask
+TEST{0100}=="<is executable file>".
+
+Scsi_id now supports a mode without expecting scsi-specific sysfs
+entries to allow the extraction of cciss-device persistent properties.
+
+udev 111
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+In the future, we may see uuid's which are just simple character
+strings (see the DDF Raid Specification). For that reason vol_id now
+exports ID_FS_UUID_SAFE, just like ID_FS_LABEL_SAFE. For things like
+the creation of symlinks, the *_SAFE values ensure, that no control
+or whitespace characters are used in the filename.
+
+Possible users of libvolume_id, please use the volume_id_get_* functions.
+The public struct will go away in a future release of the library.
