udev 148
========
Bugfixes.

The option "ignore_device" does no longer exist. There is no way to
ignore an event, as libudev events can not be suppressed by rules.
It only prevented RUN keys from being executed, which results in an
inconsistent behavior in current setups.

BUS=, SYSFS{}=, ID= are long deprecated and should be SUBSYSTEM(S)=,
ATTR(S){}=, KERNEL(S)=. It will cause a warning once for every rule
file from now on.

The support for the deprecated IDE devices has been removed from the
default set of rules. Distros who still care about non-libata drivers
need to add the rules to the compat rules file.

The ID_CLASS property on input devices has been replaced by the more
accurate set of flags ID_INPUT_{KEYBOARD,KEY,MOUSE,TOUCHPAD,TABLET,JOYSTICK}.
These are determined by the new "input_id" prober now. Some devices,
such as touchpads, can have several classes. So if you previously had
custom udev rules which e. g. checked for ENV{ID_CLASS}=="kbd", you
need to replace this with ENV{ID_INPUT_KEYBOARD}=="?*".
