14This release is largely a bugfix release for the 3.2 series with many
15minor fixes with little or no impact.
16
17"--oneline" log of changes is below. Some notable ones are:
18
19 - --offroot argument to improve interactions between mdmon and initrd
20 - --prefer argument to select which /dev names to display in some
21 circumstances.
22 - relax restructions on when "--add" will be allowed
23 - Fix bug with adding write-intent-bitmap to active array
24 - Now defaults to "/run/mdadm" for storing run-time files.
25
26Upgrading is encouraged.
27
28The next mdadm release is expected to be 3.3 with a number of new
29features.
