13 This is a bugfix/stability release over 3.1.4. It contains all the
14 important bugfixes found while working on 3.2 and 3.2.1. It will be
15 the last 3.1.x release - 3.2.1 is expected to be released in a few days.
16
17 Changes include:
18 - Fixes for v1.x metadata on big-endian machines.
19 - man page improvements
20 - Improve '--detail --export' when run on partitions of an md array.
21 - Fix regression with removing 'failed' or 'detached' devices.
22 - Fixes for "--assemble --force" in various unusual cases.
23 - Allow '-Y' to mean --export. This was documented but not implemented.
24 - Various fixed for handling 'ddf' metadata. This is now more reliable
25 but could benefit from more interoperability testing.
26 - Correctly list subarrays of a container in "--detail" output.
27 - Improve checks on whether the requested number of devices is supported
28 by the metadata - both for --create and --grow.
29 - Don't remove partitions from a device that is being included in an
30 array until we are fully committed to including it.
31 - Allow "--assemble --update=no-bitmap" so an array with a corrupt
32 bitmap can still be assembled.
33 - Don't allow --add to succeed if it looks like a "--re-add" is probably
34 wanted, but cannot succeed. This avoids inadvertently turning
35 devices into spares when an array is failed.

37 This release is believed to be stable and you should feel free to
38 upgrade to 3.1.5
