udev 057
========
+All rules are applied now, but only the first matching rule with a NAME-key
+will be applied. All later rules with NAME-key are ignored. This way system
+supplied symlinks or permissions gets applied to user-defined naming rules.
+Note:
+Please check your rules setup, if you may need to add OPTIONS="last_rule"
+to some rules, to keep the old behavior.
+
+The rules are read on "remove"-events too. That makes is possible to match
+with keys that are available on remove (KERNEL, SUBSYSTEM, ID, ENV, ...) to
+instruct udev to ignore a event (OPTIONS="ignore_device").
+The new ACTION-key may be used to match a rule only at a "remove"-event.
+
+The new RUN-key supports rule-based execution of programs after device-node
+handling. This can replace the dev.d/-rules to make them more efficient.
+
+The %s{}-sysfs format char replacement values are searched at any of the
+devices in the device chain now, not only at the class-device.
+
We support log priority levels now. The value udev_log in udev.conf is used
to determine what is printed to syslog. This makes it possible to
run a version with compiled-in debug messages in a production environment
