 Changes Prior to this release
+    -   Fix problem with compiling with gcc-2 compilers
+    -   Fix compile problem of post-incrmenting a variable in a macro arg.
+    -   Stop map_dev from returning [0:0], as that breaks things.
+    -   Add 'Array Slot' line to --examine for version-1 superblocks
+       to make it a bit easier to see what is happening.
+    -   Work around bug in --add handling for  version-1 superblocks
+       in 2.6.17 (and prior).
+    -   Make -assemble a bit more resilient to finding strange
+       information in superblocks.
+    -   Don't claim newly added spares are InSync!! (don't know why that
+       code was ever in there)
+    -   Work better when no 'ftw' is available, and check to see
+       if current uclibc provides ftw.
+
+Changes Prior to 2.5.1 release
+    -   Various fixes for gcc warnings
+    -   uclibc warnings
+    -   Makefile improvements for static linking/intalling
+    -   Makefile uninstall target
+    -   Really fix return status of --examine
+    -   Typos
+    -   Byteorder stuff (again)
+    -   Don't try to create devices with --manage or --grow
+    -   allow default metadata (superblock) type to be specified
+       in mdadm.conf
+    -   Get --stop to list devices stopped but honour --quiet

     -   When using --update=uuid on an array with a bitmap, update the

     -   New flag --no-degraded to avoid starting arrays if there are
        fewer devices available than last time the array was started.
        This is only needed with --scan, as with --scan, that behaviour
        is the default.
+    -   Support for 'homehost' concept.  This is a fairly major update.
+       It includes a configfile option and a command line option for
+       specifying a homehost, records that host in the superblock,
+       and reports the homehost where possible.
+    -   Support for Auto Assembly.  "mdadm -As" will, if provided with
+       the name of a homehost, try to assemble all arrays it can find
+       that were created for that homehost.  See man pages for more details.
