There is no way to ignore an event these days. Libudev events can
not be suppressed. It only prevents RUN keys from being executed,
which results in an inconsistent behavior in current setups.

The Introspection rules are not tested yet; more touch-ups have been made
for them.

Slight adjustment around the tests and the rules for the new working
directory.

Instead of using multiple recursive Makefile.am files, use a single
Makefile.am that sets and builds all the basic suite of libraries and
binaries for udev. This reduces the number of files in the source tree, and
also reduces drastically the build time when using parallel-make.
With this setup, all the compile steps will be executed in parallel, and
just the linking stage will be (partially) serialised on the libraries
creation.

Automake like variables with *exec* in the directory names,
to decide, that it isn't *data*:

GObject libudev access. Initial version from Bastien Nocera, current
version by David Zeuthen.

The build of extras with larger external dependencies is wrapped in:

Event processes now get re-used after they handled an event. This reduces
pressure on the CPU significantly because cloned event processes no longer
cause page faults in the main daemon. After the events have settled, the
no longer needed worker processes get killed.

Directory lookups show up in profiling. The queue files are responsible
for a large proportion of file-related system calls in udev coldplug.
Instead of creating a file for each event, append their details to a
log file. The file is periodically rebuilt (garbage-collected) to
prevent it from growing indefinitely.
This single queue file replaces both the queue directory and the
uevent_seqnum file. On desktop systems the file tends not to grow
beyond one page. So it should also save a small amount of memory in
tmpfs.
Tests on a running EeePC indicate average savings of 5% *udevd* cpu time
as measured by oprofile. __link_path_walk is reduced from 1.5% to
1.3%. It is not completely clear where the rest of the gains come from.
In tests running ~400 events, the queue file is rebuilt about 5 times.

Messages send back by the udev daemon to the netlink socket are
multiplexed by the kernel and delivered to multiple clients. The
clients can upload a socket filter to let the kernel drop messages
not belonging to a certain subsystem. This prevent needless wakeups
and message processing for users who are only interested in a
subset of available events.
Recent kernels allow untrusted users to listen to the netlink
messages.
The messages send by the udev daemon are versioned, to prevent any
custom software reading them without libudev. The message wire format
may change with any udev version update.

Instead of of our own private monitor socket, we send the
processed event back to our netlink socket, to the multicast
group 2 -- so any number of users can listen to udev events,
just like they can listen to kernel emitted events on group 1.

found out how the error occurs:
It is a difference between
A. udevadm test /sys/class/mem/null/
and
B. udevadm test /sys/class/mem/null
Case A was the case that showed the error behaviour. It seems udevadm is
confused by the trailing slash. This behaviour seems to be there since ages.

Because you added the symbol volume_id_set_uuid_sub() in commit
14e18278, you have to increase the library minor version.
