DeviceKit 002

This is DeviceKit version 002, released on Nov 13, 2008.

DeviceKit is an abstraction for enumerating devices and listening to
device events. Any application on the system can access the
org.freedesktop.DeviceKit service via the system message bus. On
GNU/Linux, DeviceKit can be considered a simple D-Bus frontend to
udev(7).

Requirements:

   glib-2.0    >=  2.12
   dbus-glib-1 >=  0.76
   libudev     >=  130

It is expected that a few things may still change; in a couple of
releases we will guarantee a stable D-Bus and library ABI.
