 scsi_id is a program to generate a unique identifier for a given SCSI
 device.
 
-It is primarily for use with the udev callout key. It could also be used
-for automatic multi-path configuration or device mapper configuration.
+It is primarily for use with the udev program key, or hotplug scripts that

 - Linux kernel 2.6
 - libsysfs 0.4.0
 
 Major changes since the last release:
 
-       - Support block device partitions
+       - Ken Brush <ken@cgi101.com> have the command line options
+         override generic options.
 
-       - Added a script to auto-generate udev rules. The script is not
-         installed but is part of the tarball.
+       - Fix the gen_scsi_id_udev_rules.sh to handle spaces in the id.
 
-Detailed changes:
+       - Don't supply a makedev() when built with klibc. Also, the
+         scsi_id supplied makedev() was using the old major/minor method.
 
-       - Add man page verbage about usage with udev, and running via
-         hotplug
+       - Include compiler.h so we can build against klibc, as recent sg.h
+         changes need a define for __user.
 
-       - Disable support for -e (all output to stderr) as it cannot be
-         used in any useful way, and the -c (device specific callout) as
-         the code is incomplete and has no users.
+Other changes:
 
-       - Don't print errno for NULL return from sysfs_get_classdev_device.
+       - Increase the MAX_SERIAL_LEN from 128 to 256, as some (possibly
+         broken devics) are returning very long id's
 
-       - Get rid of dead/leftover code that checked if we are on a scsi
-         bus.
+       - Add spotless target (via Olaf Hering's udev patch)
 
-       - ":" consistently in output messages.
+       - minor wording changes in scsi_id.config
 
-       - Add missing new lines for some error messages.
+       - Log INQUIRY failure, including the failing page code and vpd
+         values
 
-       - open O_NONBLOCK so we handle tape drives without tapes loaded.
-
-       - Remove hacks based on KLIBC define to get around problems when
-         building with udev (udev libsysfs files were rearranged).
-
-       - As done in udev code, support partitions via looking for a
-         parent of the target path. Uses libsysfs functions to do most of
-         the work, and includes changing a lot of variables to be struct
-         sysfs_device instead of sysfs_class_device.
+       - Escape '-' with '\-' in the man page.
