Release 2.02.169

This development release contains a substantial amount of change and we
recommend you use it only for testing at this stage.  Please wait for
follow-on releases before running it on live systems.

The syntax of every valid command has been encoded into the same format.
Given the large number of combinations, mistakes are possible, so please
check any of the more unusual commands that you use and let us know if you
discover a command that no longer behaves the way you expected.

Most man pages are now generated in part from these new definitions and
command help information has similarly changed completely.  This content
is still undergoing review and refinement.

The code also supports the new dm-cache metadata format 2 that improves
the performance and adaptation to workload changes, and the raid code
also supports several new formats and conversions.
