 Changes Prior to this release
+    -   Try /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf if /etc/mdadm.conf doesn't exist.
+       This provided compatability for Debian.
+
+Changes Prior to 2.2 release
+    -   Assorted bug fixes
+    -   Support write-intent-bitmaps on raid10
+    -   Support little-endian (Rather than hostendian) bitmaps.
+    -   Return correct error code from 'mdadm -S'
+    -   Remove extra blank line from 'mdadm -Eb' output.
+    -   Improve option parsing so that -a and -b do not have
+       optional arguements: the arg is either required or not
+       depending on context.
+    -   Allow scanning of devices listed in /proc/partitions even
+       if they don't appear in /dev.
+    -   Support --assume-clean in --create mode as well as --build
+    -   Add support for --monitor to report to syslog: -y or --syslog.
+       Thanks to Ross Vandegrift
+    -   --monitor now reports which device failed in a 'Fail' message
+          This broke with 2.6
+    -   Improve chance of array starting properly after a crash.
+       mdadm was insisting the event numbers were identical, but this
+       isn't needed, and is a problem if the crash was while the metadata
+       was being updated.
+    -   Support --update==uuid
+    -   Added README.initramfs and mkinitramfs to help people use an
+       initram for starting md arrays at boot.
+
+Changes Prior to 2.1 release
+    -   Fix assembling of raid10 array when devices are missing.
+         mdadm now correctly detects if a array is workable or not
+         depending on which devices are present, and so will correctly
+         handle "--assemble --force"  if multiple devices have failed.
+    -   Report raid10 layout in --examine output.
+    -   Fix assembling of arrays that use the version-1 superblock and
+         have spares.  Previously the spares would be ignored.
+    -   Fix bug so that multiple drives can be re-added at once.
+    -   Fix problem with hot-adding a bitmap to version-1-superblock
+         arrays.
+
+Changes Prior to 2.0
+    -   Support assembling from byte-swapped superblocks
+       metadata type "0.swap" and --update=byteorder
+    -   write-mostly and write-behind support for raid1.
+    -   Support --name= and 'name=' config entry for identifying
+       arrays be name.
+    -   RAID10 in man pages.
+    -   Lot of minor manpage updates
+
+Changes Prior to 2.0-devel-3 release
+    -   Assorted fixes for multiple bugs...
+    -   Add test suite
+       
+Changes Prior to 1.12.0 release
   Several of these are backported from the Debian package
     -   Don't use 'lstat' to check for blockdevices, use stat.

        This is because the device list can change and so is not a

+    -   Allow --force with --grow so '-Gfn1' works (on raid1)
