udev-extras 20090516
====================
New keymap tool to take over HAL's keymap handling. The map
files, which contain the mapping from scan codes to keycodes
for various custom hardware are part of the udev-extras
package.

New simple persistent device names for alsa devices, used by
PulseAudio.

New udev-acl tool to grant local useres access to devices by
adding an access control list for the user's uid. All devices
tagged with the ACL_MANAGE=1 tag will get an ACL assigned for all
locally logged-in users. It hooks into the udev event process
for new devices, and ConsoleKit for users logging in and out.
This will replace the ACL management in HAL.

New v4l_id tool to merge some core video4linux capabilities to
devices, which can be queried later with libudev.

udev-extras 20090226
====================
New usb-db and pci-db tools to lookup vendor/product strings
in the device database.

The ID_USB_INTERFACES=:0e0100:0e0200:010100:010200: key, to get
a packed string of all the interfaces of a USB device has moved
to usb_id, usbdev_id is gone now.

The rules.d/ directory contains a rule to classify sound cards
now, the properties will be used by PulseAudio.

Fixes for modem-probing.

All code, like the main udev, is "GPLv2 or later" now.
