+udev 181
+========
+The udev-acl tool is no longer provided, it will be part of a future
+ConsoleKit release. On systemd systems, advanced ConsoleKit and udev-acl
+functionality are provided by systemd.
+
+
+udev 181
+========
+Require kmod version 5.
+
+Provide /dev/cdrom symlink for /dev/sr0.
+
+udev 180
+========
+Fix for ID_PART_ENTRY_* property names, added by the blkid built-in. The
+fix is needed for udisk2 to operate properly.
+
+Fix for skipped rule execution when the kernel has removed the device
+node in /dev again, before the event was even started. The fix is needed
+to run device-mapper/LVM events properly.
+
+Fix for the man page installation, which was skipped when xsltproc was not
+installed.
+
+udev 179
+========
+Bugfix for $name resolution, which broke at least some keymap handling.
+
+udev 178
+========
+Bugfix for the firmware loading behavior with kernel modules which
+try to load firmware in the module_init() path. The blocked event
+runs into a timout now, which should allow the firmware to be loaded.
+
+Bugfix for a wrong DEVNAME= export, which breaks at least the udev-acl
+tool.
+
+Bugfix for missing ID_ properties for GPT partitions.
+
+The RUN+="socket:.." option is deprecated and should not be used. A warning
+during rules parsing is printed now. Services which listen to udev events,
+need to subscribe to the netlink messages with libudev and not let udev block
+in the rules execution until the message is delivered.
+
+udev 177
+========
+Bugfix for rule_generator instalation.
+
+udev 176
+========
+The 'devtmpfs' filesystem is required now, udev will not create or delete
+device nodes anymore, it only adjusts permissions and ownership of device
+nodes and maintains additional symlinks.
+
+A writable /run directory (ususally tmpfs) is required now for a fully
+functional udev, there is no longer a fallback to /dev/.udev.
+
+The default 'configure' install locations have changed. Packages for systems
+with the historic / vs. /usr split need to be adapted, otherwise udev will
+be installed in /usr and not work properly. Example configuration options
+to install things the traditional way are in INSTALL.
+
+The default install location of the 'udevadm' tool moved from 'sbin'
+to /usr/bin. Some tools expect udevadm in 'sbin', a symlink to udevadm
+needs to be manually created if needed, or --bindir=/sbin be specified.
+
+The expected value of '--libexecdir=' has changed and must no longer contain
+the 'udev' directory.
+
+Kernel modules are now loaded directly by linking udev to 'libkmod'. The
+'modprobe' tool is no longer executed by udev.
+
+The 'blkid' tool is no longer executed from udev rules. Udev links
+directly to libblkid now.
+
+Firmware is loaded natively by udev now, the external 'firmware' binary
+is no longer used.
+
+All built-in tools can be listed and tested with 'udevadm test-builtin'.
+
+The 'udevadm control --reload-rules' option has been renamed to '--reload'.
+It now also reloads the kernel module configuration.
+
+The systemd socket files use PassCredentials=yes, which is available in
+systemd version 38.
+
+The udev build system only creates a .xz tarball now.
+
+All tabs in the source code used for indentation are replaced by spaces now. :)

 udev 174
 ========
 Bugfixes.
 
-The path_id, usb_id, input_id tools are built-in commands now
-and the stand-alone tools do not exist anymore. For testing,
-the commands can be run with 'udevadm test-builtin <cmd>'.
+The udev daemon moved to /lib/udev/udevd. Non-systemd init systems
+and non-dracut initramfs image generators need to change the init
+scripts. Alternatively the udev build needs to move udevd back to
+/sbin or create a symlink in /sbin, which is not done by default.
+
+The path_id, usb_id, input_id tools are built-in commands now and
+the stand-alone tools do not exist anymore. Static lists of file in
+initramfs generators need to be updated. For testing, the commands
+can still be executed standalone with 'udevadm test-builtin <cmd>'.
+
+The fusectl filesystem is no longer mounted directly from udev.
+Systemd systems will take care of mounting fusectl and configfs
+now. Non-systemd systems need to ship their own rule if they
+need these filesystems auto-mounted.
+
+The long deprecated keys: SYSFS=, ID=, BUS= have been removed.
+
+The support for 'udevadm trigger --type=failed, and the
+RUN{fail_event_on_error} attribute was removed.
+
+The udev control socket is now created in /run/udev/control
+and no longer as an abstract namespace one.
+
+The rules to create persistent network interface and cdrom link
+rules automatically in /etc/udev/rules.d/ have been disabled by
+default. Explicit configuration will be required for these use
+cases, udev will no longer try to write any persistent system
+configuration from a device hotplug path.
