The ChangeLog can be found here:

udev 178
========
Bugfix for the firmware loading behavior with kernel modules which
try to load firmware in the module_init() path. The blocked event
runs into a timout now, which should allow the firmware to be loaded.

Bugfix for a wrong DEVNAME= export, which breaks at least the udev-acl
tool.

Bugfix for missing ID_ properties for GPT partitions.

The RUN+="socket:.." option is deprecated and should not be used. A warning
during rules parsing is printed now. Services which listen to udev events,
need to subscribe to the netlink messages with libudev and not let udev block
in the rules execution until the message is delivered.
