+udev 152
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+All "add|change" matches are replaced by "!remove" in the rules and
+in the udev logic. All types of events will update possible symlinks
+and permissions, only "remove" is handled special now.
+
+The modem mode switch extra was removed and the external usb_modeswitch
+program should be used instead.
+
+New and fixed keymaps.
+
+udev 151
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+udev 150
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+Kernels with SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y are not supported since a while. Many users
+depend on the current sysfs layout and the information not available in the
+deprecated layout. All remaining support for the deprecated sysfs layout is
+removed now.
+
+udev 149
+========
+Fix for a possible endless loop in the new input_id program.
+
+udev 148
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+The option "ignore_device" does no longer exist. There is no way to
+ignore an event, as libudev events can not be suppressed by rules.
+It only prevented RUN keys from being executed, which results in an
+inconsistent behavior in current setups.
+
+BUS=, SYSFS{}=, ID= are long deprecated and should be SUBSYSTEM(S)=,
+ATTR(S){}=, KERNEL(S)=. It will cause a warning once for every rule
+file from now on.
+
+The support for the deprecated IDE devices has been removed from the
+default set of rules. Distros who still care about non-libata drivers
+need to add the rules to the compat rules file.
+
+The ID_CLASS property on input devices has been replaced by the more accurate
+set of flags ID_INPUT_{KEYBOARD,KEY,MOUSE,TOUCHPAD,TABLET,JOYSTICK}. These are
+determined by the new "input_id" prober now. Some devices, such as touchpads,
+can have several classes. So if you previously had custom udev rules which e. g.
+checked for ENV{ID_CLASS}=="kbd", you need to replace this with
+ENV{ID_INPUT_KEYBOARD}=="?*".
+
+udev 147
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+To support DEVPATH strings larger than the maximum file name length, the
+private udev database format has changed. If some software still reads the
+private files in /dev/.udev/, which it shouldn't, now it's time to fix it.
+Please do not port anything to the new format again, everything in /dev/.udev
+is and always was private to udev, and may and will change any time without
+prior notice.
+
+Multiple devices claiming the same names in /dev are limited to symlinks
+only now. Mixing identical symlink names and node names is not supported.
+This reduces the amount of data in the database significantly.
+
+NAME="%k" causes a warning now. It's is and always was completely superfluous.
+It will break kernel supplied DEVNAMEs and therefore it needs to be removed
+from all rules.
+
+Most NAME= instructions got removed. Kernel 2.6.31 supplies the needed names
+if they are not the default. To support older kernels, the NAME= rules need to
+be added to the compat rules file.
+
+Symlinks to udevadm with the old command names are no longer resolved to
+the udevadm commands.
+
+The udev-acl tool got adopted to changes in ConsoleKit. Version 0.4.1 is
+required now.
+
+The option "last_rule" does no longer exist. Its use breaks too many
+things which expect to be run from independent later rules, and is an idication
+that something needs to be fixed properly instead.
+
+The gudev API is no longer marked as experimental,
+G_UDEV_API_IS_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE is no longer needed. The gudev introspection
+is enabled by default now. Various projects already depend on introspection
+information to bind dynamic languages to the gudev interfaces.
+
+udev 146
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+The udevadm trigger "--retry-failed" option, which is replaced since quite
+a while by "--type=failed" is removed.
+
+The failed tracking was not working at all for a few releases. The RUN
+option "ignore_error" is replaced by a "fail_event_on_error" option, and the
+default is not to track any failing RUN executions.
+
+New keymaps, new modem, hid2hci updated.
+
 udev 145
 ========
 Fix possible crash in udevd when worker processes are busy, rules are
