+Changes Prior to this release
+ - 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
+ - --stop --scan repeatly cycles until no more progress can be made
+ so that stack devices are stopped properly
+ - Minor type rationalisation for ident->uuid - now always 'int[]'
+ - Fix type in online help for --grow (was -F, now -G)
+ - Allow --auto command line option to set default auto=
+ value when running "--assemble --scan". Previously
+ --auto was ignored if --scan was given
+ - Fix a few type casts
+ - Fix parsing of /dev/md/N in is_standard
+ - 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
+
+Changes Prior to 1.11.0 release
+ - Fix embarassing bug which causes --add to always fail.
+
+Changes Prior to 1.10.0 release
+ - Fix bug with --config=partitions
+ - Open sub-devices with O_EXCL to detect if already in use
+ - Make sure superblock updates are flushed directly to disk.
+
+Changes Prior to 2.0-devel-1 release
+ - Support for version-1 superblock. See --metadata option.
+ - Support for bitmap based intent logging.
+ - Minor fixes.
+
Changes Prior to 1.9.0 release
- Fix rpm build problem (stray %)
- Minor manpage updates
-
+ - Change "dirty" status to "active" as it was confusing people.
+ - --assemble --auto recognises 'standard' name and insists on using
+ the appropriate major/minor number for them.
+ - Remove underscore from partition names, so partitions of
+ "foo" are "foo1", "foo2" etc (unchanged) and partitions of
+ "f00" are "f00p1", "f00p2" etc rather than "f00_p1"...
+ - Use "major", "minor", "makedev" macros instead of
+ "MAJOR", "MINOR", "MKDEV" so that large device numbers work
+ on 2.6 (providing you have glibc 2.3.3 or later).
+ - Add some missing closes of open file descriptors.
+ - Reread /proc/partition for every array assembled when using
+ it to find devices, rather than only once.
+ - Make "mdadm -Ss" stop stacked devices properly, by reversing the
+ order in which arrays are stopped.
+ - Improve some error messages.
+ - Allow device name to appear before first option, so e.g.
+ mdadm /dev/md0 -A /dev/sd[ab]
+ works.
+ - Assume '-Q' if just a device is given, rather than being silent.
+ - Change "dirty" status to "active" as it was confusing people.
+
Changes Prior to 1.8.0 release
- Makefile cleanup from Luca Berra <bluca@comedia.it>
- --pid-file (-i) to set a pid file to use with --monitor --daemonise
