 Changes Prior to this 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.
+    -   Allow scanning of devices listed in /proc/partitions even
+       if they don't appear in /dev.
+
+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.
     -   Document --size=max option for --grow
     -   Document SparesMissing event and DeviceDisappeared/WrongLevel

     -   Fix a few type casts

     -   Fix rounding errors in human_size()
+    -   Fix silly example in mdadm.conf-examples
+    -   When finding a /dev name for a device, prefer shorter names
+    -   Suppress listing of devices= in --brief output of -D or -E,
+       unless -v is given (-vv gives the old behaviour with -Dsv).
+       This is because the device list can change and so is not a
+       stable aspect of the array
+    -   Allow --force with --grow so '-Gfn1' works (on raid1)
+    -   Replace sprintf calls with snprintf (to quiet diet-libc)
+    -   Add man page for mdassemble
+    -   Fix compilation with tinyc
