+udev 175
+========
+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 (tmpfs) is required now for a fully functional
+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 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.
+
+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 reloads the kernel module configuration.
+
+The systemd socket files use PassCredentials=yes, which requires systemd
+version 38.
+
+The udev build system only creates a .xz tarball now.
+
+udev 175
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+udev 174
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+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.
+
+udev 173
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+The udev-acl extra is no longer enabled by default now. To enable it,
+--enable-udev_acl needs to be given at ./configure time. On systemd
+systems, the udev-acl rules prevent it from running as the functionality
+has moved to systemd.
+
+udev 172
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+Udev now enables kernel media-presence polling if available. Part
+of udisks optical drive tray-handling moved to cdrom_id: The tray
+is locked as soon as a media is detected to enable the receiving
+of media-eject-request events. Media-eject-request events will
+eject the media.
+
+Libudev enumerate is now able to enumerate a subtree of a given
+device.
+
+The mobile-action-modeswitch modeswitch tool was deleted. The
+functionality is provided by usb_modeswitch now.
+
 udev 171
 ========
-!!! revert: "systemd: trigger - run after udev.service (for now)"
+Bugfixes.
 
 The systemd service files require systemd version 28. The systemd
 socket activation make it possible now to start 'udevd' and 'udevadm
