I am pleased to announce the availability of
   mdadm version 2.5.3

mdadm is a tool for creating, managing and monitoring
device arrays using the "md" driver in Linux, also
known as Software RAID arrays.

Release 2.5.3 is a bugfix release over 2.5.2.

Changelog Entries:
    -   Document v0.91 superblocks in md.4
    -   Make GPL explicit in man pages.
    -   Fix recent breakage of starting degraded arrays.
    -   Tidyup automatic name choice for v-1 arrays:
	  /dev/md_d0 now becomes '0', not '_d0'.

Development of mdadm is sponsored by
 SUSE Labs, Novell Inc.
