 Version 2.02.151 -
 =================================
+  Avoid internal snapshot LV names in messages.
   Autodetect and use /run/lock dir when available instead of /var/lock.
   lvchange --refresh for merging thin origin will retry to deactivate snapshot.
   Recognize in-progress snapshot merge for thin volumes from dm table.
