+Subject: ANNOUNCE: mdadm 2.5.2 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux
+
+I am pleased to announce the availability of
+ mdadm version 2.5.2
+
+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 2.5.2 is primarily a bugfix release over 2.5.1.
+It also contains a work-around for a kernel bug which affects
+hot-adding to arrays with a version-1 superblock.
+
+Changelog Entries:
+ - Fix problem with compiling with gcc-2 compilers
+ - Fix compile problem of post-incrmenting a variable in a macro arg.
+ - Stop map_dev from returning [0:0], as that breaks things.
+ - Add 'Array Slot' line to --examine for version-1 superblocks
+ to make it a bit easier to see what is happening.
+ - Work around bug in --add handling for version-1 superblocks
+ in 2.6.17 (and prior).
+ - Make -assemble a bit more resilient to finding strange
+ information in superblocks.
+ - Don't claim newly added spares are InSync!! (don't know why that
+ code was ever in there)
+ - Work better when no 'ftw' is available, and check to see
+ if current uclibc provides ftw.
+ - Never use /etc/mdadm.conf if --config file is given (previously
+ some code used one, some used the other).
+
+Development of mdadm is sponsored by
+ SUSE Labs, Novell Inc.
