+Subject: ANNOUNCE: mdadm 3.1.3 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux
+
+I am pleased to announce the availability of
+ mdadm version 3.1.3
+
+It is available at the usual places:
+ 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
+
+This is a bugfix/stability release over 3.1.2
+
+Significant changes are:
+ - mapfile now lives in a fixed location which default to
+ /dev/.mdadm/map but can be changed at compile time. This
+ location is choses and most distros provide it during early
+ boot and preserve it through. As long a /dev exists and is
+ writable, /dev/.mdadm will be created.
+ Other files file communication with mdmon live here too.
+ This fixes a bug reported by Debian and Gentoo users where
+ udev would spin in early-boot.
+ - IMSM and DDF metadata will not be recognised on partitions
+ as they should only be used on whole-disks.
+ - Various overflows causes by 2G drives have been addressed.
+ - A subarray of an IMSM contain can now be killed with
+ --kill-subarray. Also subarrays can be renamed with
+ --update-subarray
+ - -If (or --incremental --fail) can be used from udev to
+ fail and remove from all arrays a device which has been
+ unplugged from the system. i.e. hot-unplug-support.
+ - "mdadm /dev/mdX --re-add missing" will look for any device
+ that looks like it should be a member of /dev/mdX but isn't
+ and will automatically --re-add it
+ - Now compile with -Wextra to get extra warnings.
+ - Lots of minor bug fixes, documentation improvements, etcc
+
+This release is believed to be stable and you should feel free to
+upgrade to 3.1.3
+
+It is expected that the next release will be 3.2 with a number of new
+features. 3.1.4 will only happen if important bugs show up before 3.2
+is stable.

+ - Now compile with -Wextra to get extra warnings.
+ - Lots of minor bug fixes, documentation improvements, etcc
+
+Changes Prior to release 3.1.2
+ - The default metadata has change again (sorry about that).
+ It is now v1.2 and will hopefully stay that way. It turned
+ out there with boot-block issues with v1.1 which make it
+ unsuitable for a default, though in many cases it is still
+ suitable to use.
+ - Stopping a container is not permitted when members are still
+ active
+ - Add 'homehost' to the valid words for the "AUTO" config file
+ line. When followed by "-all", this causes mdadm to
+ auto-assemble any array belonging to this host, but not
+ auto-assemble anything else.
+ - Fix some bugs with "--grow --chunksize=" for changing chunksize.
+ - VAR_RUN can be easily changed at compile time just like ALT_RUN.
+ This gives distros more flexability in how to manage the
+ pid and sock files that mdmon needs.
+ - Various mdmon fixes
+ - Alway make bitmap 4K-aligned if at all possible.
+ - If mdadm.conf lists arrays which have inter-dependencies,
+ the previously had to be listed in the "right" order. Now
+ any order should work.
+ - Fix --force assembly of v1.x arrays which are in the process
+ of recovering.
+ - Add section on 'scrubbing' to 'md' man page.
+ - Various command-line-option parsing improvements.
+ - ... and lots of other bug fixes.
+
Changes Prior to release 3.1.1
- Multiple fixes for new --grow levels including fixes for
serious data corruption problems.
