  13 This is a bugfix/stability release over 3.1.3.
  14 3.1.3 had a couple of embarrasing regressions and a couple of other
  15 issues surfaces which had easy fixes so I decided to make a 3.1.4
  16 release after all.
  17
  18 Two fixes related to configs that aren't using udev:
  19    - Don't remove md devices which 'standard' names on --stop
  20    - Allow dev_open to work on read-only /dev
  21 And fixed regressions:
  22    - Allow --incremental to add spares to an array
  23    - Accept --no-degraded as a deprecated option rather than
  24             throwing an error
  25    - Return correct success status when --incrmental assembling
  26      a container which does not yet have enough devices.
  27    - Don't link mdadm with pthreads, only mdmon needs it.
  28    - Fix compiler warning due to bad use of snprintf
  29    - Fix spare migration

  31 This release is believed to be stable and you should feel free to
  32 upgrade to 3.1.4
  33
  34 It is expected that the next release will be 3.2 with a number of new
  35 features.
