 Version 2.02.188 - 
 ==================================
+  Enhance reporting and error handling when creating thin volumes.
   Use revert_lv() on reload error path after vg_revert().
   Improve estimation of needed extents when creating thin-pool.
   Use extra 1% when resizing thin-pool metadata LV with --use-policy.
