+- This replaces the "joystick" build that was previously available.

+- Included in this build is a simple udev rule to automatically restore the

- directory for more specific rules
+ directory for more specific rules.
+
+- By default, this build includes a newer version of /usr/bin/inputattach,
+ which overwrites the one from Slackware's gpm package. The new
+ inputattach should behave identically to the old one, except that it
+ supports many more devices, and is capable of running as a daemon. It
+ also has a man page, which the old one didn't have. If you have problems
+ with the new inputattach, reinstall gpm and then rebuild this package
+ with GPM_COMPAT=yes set in the environment. With this option, the new
+ inputattach will be installed as /usr/bin/inputattach-lct.
