* **Changes in udev rules, new version of systemd is recommended (256).**
* **When using LVs as PVs these are no longer auto activated!**
* Allow creating VDO device for thin data when creating thin pool.
* More devices can be used as external origin for thin snapshot.
* Changes to devices file are backed up in /etc/lvm/devices/backup directory.
* And much more. See doc/release-notes/2.03.24.mdwn, WHATS_NEW, and
  WHATS_NEW_DM files.

Release 2.03.22

* Improvements in VDO volumes and lvm_import_vdo.

Release 2.03.21

Mostly bugfix release.

Allow (write)cache over raid+integrity LVs.

Release 2.03.20

Bugfix release

Release 2.03.19

Bugfix release

Release 2.03.18

Bugfix release.

Release 2.03.17

Major feature is rework of lvresize (lvextend, lvreduce) handling of
nested file systems. New --fs and --fsmode options, see lvresize(8).

May bugfixes and improvements, noteworthy to lvmdbusd, VDO, and device_id.

Release 2.03.16

Mostly bug fixes and minor improvements.

Release 2.03.15

WARNING: This release removes service based autoactivation.
global/event_activation = 0 does nothing, user is responsible to
activate any volumes.

- Removed service based autoactivation.
- New man page lvmautoactivation(7).

Release 2.03.14

- New udev autoactivation.
- vdoimport renamed to lvm_import_vdo.
- Add IMA support with 'dmsetup measure' command.
- Improved VDO support.
- New appmachineid option for global/system_id_source config option.
- New log/journal config option (and --journal CLI option)
- Many bug fixes, improvements, and clean ups.

Test Release 2.03.13

WARNING: This release is intended mainly for testing.

Less reliance on udev:
- Users suffering from udev timeouts are sometimes recommended to change the
  obtain_device_list_from_udev configuration option to 0. This is now default
  and /dev is read instead of udev.
- Use of multipath wwids file to quick check if device is multipath.

See devices/external_device_info_source, devices/obtain_device_list_from_udev,
and devices/multipath_wwids_file help in lvm.conf

Other changes worth highlighting:

- Refactoring of archive() and backup() internal calls.
- New vdoimport tool to convert VDO volumes to LVs (requires updated kernel and
  vdo tools.)

And many fixes, improvements, and clean ups.

Release 2.03.12

Two notable changes are devices file and metadata based autoactivation.

Fix exported symbols generation with GCC10's new LTO optimizer.  Can be
overridden by configure --with/without-symvers.

Greatly improved reliability of test suite, now reporting much less false
positives.

And many fixes, improvements, and clean ups.

New devices file feature is off by default for now.
When on devices file is used to filter devices which are scanned for PVs.
Devices file can be overridden by --devicesfile on command line.
Two new commands to manipulate devices file - lvmdevices(8) and
vgimportdevices(8), and new configuration options in devices section:
use_devicesfile, devicesfile and search_for_devnames.

Metadata based autoactivation property for LVs and VGs set in lvcreate/vgcreate
using --setautoactivation option and modified by lvchange/vgchange.

Release 2.02.188

Bug fix release.

Release 2.03.11

- Improvements to VDO, writecache and integrity volumes.
- And lot of bugfixes.

Release 2.03.10

- Add integrity with raid capability.
- Add writecache and integrity support to lvmdbusd.
- Zero pool metadata on allocation (disable with allocation/zero_metadata=0).
- Failure in zeroing or wiping will fail command (bypass with -Zn, -Wn).
- Bug fixes.

Release 2.03.09

- Fixed compilation errors with GCC 10.
- Fixed few writecache and pvck releated bugs.
- Fixed busy loop in dmeventd.

Release 2.02.187

Bug fix release.

Release 2.03.08

- IMPORTANT: Prohibit reshape of stacked raid LVs to prevent corruption.
- Improved handling of writecache and VDO volumes.

Release 2.03.07

- Subcommand in vgck for repairing headers and metadata.
- Fix resize of thin-pool with data and metadata of different segtype.
- Fix activation order when removing merged snapshot.
- Experimental VDO support for lvmdbusd.

Release 2.03.06

NOTABLE CHANGES:

Prevent creating VGs with PVs with different logical block sizes.
Setting 'devices/allow_mixed_block_sizes' to 1 keeps the old behavior but may
lead to data corruption.

Improvements to cache volumes handling.
