+udev 099
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+Udevtrigger can now filter the list of devices to be triggered. Matches
+for subsystems or sysfs attributes can be specified.
+
+The entries in /dev/.udev/queue and /dev/.udev/failed have changed to
+zero-sized files to avoid pointing to /sys and confuse broken tools which
+scan the /dev directory. To retry failed events, udevtrigger --retry-failed
+should be used now.
+
+The rules and scripts to create udev rules for persistent network
+devices and optical drives are in the extras/rules_generator directory
+now. If you use something similar, please consider replacing your own
+version with this, to share the support effort. The rule_generator
+installs its own rules into /etc/udev/rules.d.
+
+The cdrom_id tool installs its own rule now in /etc/udev/rules.d, cause
+the rule_generator depends on cdrom_id to be called in an earlier rule.

TODO

@@ -11,10 +11,11 @@ These things will change in future udev versions:
   o warn if PHYSDEV* keys are used in ENV keys
     (they are deprecated and will be removed from a future kernel)
 
-  o warn if "device/" is used in a ATTR{}, ATTRS{}, $attr{} key
-    (the device link must not be used in rules or tools, udev resolves
-     the link and makes the devices available as parents, which can
-     be matched with the normal keys)
+  o warn if any path component is used in a ATTR{}, ATTRS{},
+    $attr{} key, like ATTR{device/<file>}==
+    (parent attributes must not referenced directly in rules or tools,
+     udev finds the parents and makes them available, which can be matched
+     with the normal keys)
 
   o warn if BUS, ID, SYSFS are used as keys
     (they are SUBSYSTEMS, KERNELS, ATTRS now)
