+Subject:  ANNOUNCE: mdadm 2.6.3 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux
+
+I am pleased to announce the availability of
+   mdadm version 2.6.3
+
+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 2.6.3  adds a  few minor bug  fixes to 2.6.2
+
+Changelog Entries:
+    -   allow --write-behind to be set for --grow.
+    -   When adding new disk to an array, don't reserve so much bitmap
+        space that the disk cannot store the required data. (Needed when
+	1.x array was created with older mdadm).
+    -   When adding a drive that was a little too small, we did not get
+	the correct error message.
+    -   Make sure that if --assemble find an array in the critical region
+	of a reshape, and cannot find the critical data to restart the
+	reshape, it gives an error message.
+    -   Fix segfault with '--detail --export' and non-persistent
+        superblocks.
+    -   Various manpage updates.
+    -   Improved 'raid4' support (--assemble, --monitor)
+    -   Option parsing fixes w.r.t -a
+    -   Interpret "--assemble --metadata=1" to allow any version 1.x
+	metadata, and be more specific in the "metadata=" message printed
+	with --examine --brief
+    -   Fix spare migration in --monitor.
+
+Development of mdadm is sponsored by
+ SUSE Labs, Novell Inc.
