+Changes Prior to this 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-deve-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

     -   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
