+Changes Prior to this release
+    -   Fixed UUID printing in "--detail --brief" for version1 metadata.
+    -   --update=resync did exactly the wrong thing for version1 metadata.
+       It caused a resync to not happen, rather than to happen.
+    -   Allow --assemble --force to mark a raid6 clean when it has two
+       missing devices (which is needed else if won't assemble.
+       Without this fix it would only assemble if one or zero
+       missing devices.
+    -   Support --update=devicesize for cases where the underlying device
+       can change size.
+    -   Default to --auto=yes so the array devices with 'standard' names
+       get created automatically, as this is almost always what is wanted.
+
+Changes Prior to 2.5.6 release
+    -   Fix bug which meant "bitmap=xxx" in mdadm.conf was not handled
+       properly.
+    -  Documentation updates.
+    -   Fix bug that caused infinite loop when doing auto-assembly,
+       in certain cases where arrays couldn't be assembled.
+
+Changes Prior to 2.5.5 release
+    -   Don't #include linux/blkpg.h as that isn't safe.  Just
+       include the content literally.
+    -   Reduce maximum bitmap usage when working with bitmap files,
+       so that a only single-page allocations are made, even on
+       64bit hosts with 4K pages.
+    -   Close stray fd in mdassemble so that it can assemble stacked
+       devices
+    -   If mdassemble finds an array already assembled, it marks it
+        read-write.
+    -   Remove error in md_open if array is already active.  This isn't
+       needed and gets in the ways if an array was created e.g. in
+       initramfs, but device doesn't yet exist in /dev.
+    -   When --assemble --scan is run, if all arrays that could be found
+       have already been started, don't report an error.
+    -   Fix a couple of bugs related to raid10 and the new 'offset' layout.
+    -   Improve error message when a wrong '--update' option is given.
+
+Changes Prior to 2.5.4 release
+    -   When creating devices in /dev/md/ create matching symlinks
+       from /dev.  e.g. /dev/md0 -> /dev/md/0.
+       Allow this to be disabled in mdadm.conf or on command line.
+    -   Fix some endian-ness issues with version-1 superblocks (affects
+       bigendian only).
+    -   Fix endian problem with 'bitmap' metadata
+    -   Allow a number (of partitions) after the 'yes' option to --auto=
+       This is particularly useful in the 'create' line in mdadm.conf.
+    -   Remove partitions from any whole device that is made part of
+       an md array.  This is a work-around for annoying messages
+       when the first block on some drive accidentally looks like a
+       partition table.
+
+Changes Prior to 2.5.3 release
+    -   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'.
+
 Changes Prior to 2.5.2 release
     -   Fix problem with compiling with gcc-2 compilers
     -   Fix compile problem of post-incrmenting a variable in a macro arg.
