+Subject:  ANNOUNCE: mdadm 2.5.4 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux
+
+I am pleased to announce the availability of
+   mdadm version 2.5.4
+
+It is available at the usual places:
+   http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/source/mdadm/
+and
+   countrycode=xx.
+   http://www.${countrycode}kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/raid/mdadm/
+and via git at
+   git://neil.brown.name/mdadm
+   http://neil.brown.name/git?p=mdadm
+
+mdadm is a tool for creating, managing and monitoring
+device arrays using the "md" driver in Linux, also
+known as Software RAID arrays.
+
+Release 2.5.4 is a bugfix release over 2.5.3
+
+Changelog Entries:
+    -   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.
+
+Development of mdadm is sponsored by
+ SUSE Labs, Novell Inc.
