The KEY="" format supports '=', '==', '!=,' , '+=' now. This makes it easy to skip certain attribute matches without composing rules with weird character class negations like: KERNEL="[!s][!c][!d]*" - this can now be replaced with: KERNEL!="scd*" - The current simple '=' is still supported, and should work as it does today, but existing rules should be converted if possible, to be better readable. +We have new ENV{}== key now, to match against a maximum of 5 environment +variables. + +udevstart is its own binary again, cause we don't need co carry this araound +with every forked event.
