        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.
+    -   Give useful message if raid4/5/6 cannot be started because it is
+       not clean and is also degraded.
+    -   Increase raid456 stripe cache size if needed to --grow the array.
+       The setting used unfortunately requires intimate knowledge of the
+       kernel, and it not reset when the reshape finishes.
+    -   Change 'Device Size' to 'Used Dev Size' because it only shows how
+       much of each device is actually used, not how big they are.
+    -   --wait or -W will wait for resync activity to finish on the given
+       devices.
+    -   Fix some problems with --update=uuid and add a test.
+    -   If two drives in a raid5 disappear at the same time, then "-Af"
+        will add them both in rather than just one and forcing the array
+       to 'clean'.  This is slightly safer in some cases.
+    -   Check device is large enough before hot-add: this improves quality
+       of error message.
+    -   Don't hold md device open for so long in --monitor mode - map_dev
+       can be slow and interferes with trying to stop the array.
