ANNOUNCE: biosdevname 0.2.4

[Matt Domsch]

I've been working with Harald Hoyer and	Kay Sievers to integrate
biosdevname with udev rules cleanly.  This release, along with the
latest udev, accomplishes that.

In addition, I'd like to thank the folks who contributed in this
release.  Bernhard Walle provided a segfault fix, and Kay helped me
track down another segfault in the pcmcia code path.  Rudy Gevaert
contributed the Debian packaging, Michael Brown performed some
makefile magic, Harald provided an RPM specfile patch, and Matthias
Saou reviewed the package for Fedora.

Shortlog is below.



biosdevname is released under the GNU GPL v2.
