udisks 2.10.90

[tbzatek]

The UDisks project provides a daemon, tools and libraries to access and manipulate disks, storage devices and technologies.

This is a beta release to solicit feedback from early adopters. This release brings several intrusive changes:

• ATA SMART handling has been ported over to libblockdev which now offers two plugins, based on libatasmart (default, recommended) and smartmontools (experimental). There is an additional attribute validation layer in place in libblockdev, some attributes may now be reported as unknown or untrusted. Drive temperature reporting has been reworked as well.
• ATA SMART functionality has been made optional through the --disable-smart configure switch (default: Enabled). ATA SMART can be also selectively turned off for some drives by setting ID_ATA_SMART_ACCESS udev property to none. In such a case, the Drive.Ata.SmartUpdated property will remain set to zero to indicate it was never updated for a particular drive.
• ATA feature flags are now mostly retrieved from udev, skipping additional probing done by UDisks in case of udev >= 257.

Full list of changes is available in the NEWS file.
