[ANNOUNCE] udev 070 release and change of maintainer

[Greg KH]

I've released the 070 version of udev.  It can be found at:
  	kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev-070.tar.gz

udev allows users to have a dynamic /dev and provides the ability to
have persistent device names.  It uses sysfs and /sbin/hotplug and runs
entirely in userspace.  It requires a 2.6 kernel with CONFIG_HOTPLUG
enabled to run.  Please see the udev FAQ (now updated!) for any
questions about it:
	kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev-FAQ

For any udev vs devfs questions anyone might have, please see:
	kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev_vs_devfs

And there is a general udev web page at:
	http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev.html

This release fixes a few small bugs found in the 069 release, and marks
the change of the maintainer of udev from me to Kay Sievers
<kay.sievers@xxxxxxxx>.  Kay has been instrumental in getting udev as
feature complete and stable and actually working well.  Without his
help, it wouldn't be the program it is today.  He also was the one who
implemented the persistant naming policy for disks, which is now in all
of the major Linux distributions (and a few minor ones.)

I'll still be around and doing minor work on udev, but Kay is the one
who is now in charge, and I know it is in good hands.

thanks,

greg k-h
