+udev 167
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+The udev runtime data moved from /dev/.udev/ to /dev/.run/udev/.
+On systemd systems the tmpfs mountpoint /var/run/ will have a
+permanent "early-boot alias" /dev/.run/, where udev and a couple
+of other early-boot tools will put their runtime data.
+
+On systemd systems with LVM used, packagers must make sure, that
+the systemd and initramfs version match. The initramfs needs to
+create the /dev/.run/ mountpoint for udev to store the data, so
+that systemd will not overmount it, which would make the udev
+data from initramfs invisible.
+
+The command 'udevadm info --convert-db' is gone. The udev daemon
+itself, at startup, converts any old database version if necessary.

+New and updated keymaps.
+
+udev 165
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+The udev database has changed, After installation of a new udev
+version, 'udevadm info --convert-db' should be called, to let the new
+udev/libudev version read the already stored data.
+
+udevadm now supports quoting of property values, and prefixing of
+key names:
+  $ udevadm info --export --export-prefix=MY_ --query=property -n sda
+  MY_MAJOR='259'
+  MY_MINOR='0'
+  MY_DEVNAME='/dev/sda'
+  MY_DEVTYPE='disk'
+  ...
+
+libudev now supports:
+  udev_device_get_is_initialized()
+  udev_enumerate_add_match_is_initialized()
+to be able to skip devices the kernel has created , but udev has
+not already handled.
+
+libudev now supports:
+  udev_device_get_usec_since_initialized()
+to retrieve the "age" of a udev device record.
+
+GUdev supports a more generic GUdevEnumerator class, udev TAG
+handling, device initialization and timestamp now.
+
+The counterpart of /sys/dev/{char,block}/$major:$minor,
+/dev/{char,block}/$major:$minor symlinks are now unconditionally
+created, even when no rule files exist.
+
+New and updated keymaps.

+Persistent network naming rules are disabled inside of Qemu/KVM now.
+
+New and updated keymaps.
+
+Udev gets unconditionally enabled on systemd installations now. There
+is no longer the need to to run 'systemctl enable udev.service'.

+
+udev 158
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+All distribution specific rules are removed from the udev source tree,
+most of them are no longer needed. The Gentoo rules which allow to support
+older kernel versions, which are not covered by the default rules anymore
+has moved to rules/misc/30-kernel-compat.rules.
+
 udev 157
 ========
 Bugfixes.
 
+The option --debug-trace and the environemnt variable UDEVD_MAX_CHILDS=
+was removed from udevd.
+
+Udevd now checks the kernel commandline for the following variables:
+  udev.log-priority=<syslog priority>
+  udev.children-max=<maximum number of workers>
+  udev.exec-delay=<seconds to delay the execution of RUN=>
+to help debuging coldplug setups where the loading of a kernel
+module crashes the system.
+
+The subdirectory in the source tree rules/packages has been renamed to
+rules/arch, anc contains only architecture specific rules now.
