+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.
