 Version 2.02.112 - 
 =====================================
+  Introduce lv_is_pvmove/locked/converting/merging macros.
   Avoid leaving linear logical volume when thin pool creation fails.
   Demote an error to a warning when devices known to lvmetad are filtered out.
   Re-order filter evaluation, making component filters global.
