 Version 1.02.89 -
 =================================
+  Add dm_report_field_string_list_unsorted for str. list report without sorting.
   Support --deferred with dmsetup remove to defer removal of open devices.
   Update dm-ioctl.h to include DM_DEFERRED_REMOVE flag.
   Add support for selection to match string list subset, recognize { } operator.
