 Version 1.02.198 - 
 ===================
+  Enhance dm_get_status_raid to handle mismatching status or reported legs.
   Create /dev/disk/by-label symlinks for DM devs that have crypto as next layer.
   Persist udev db for DM devs on cleanup used in initrd to rootfs transition.
   Process synthetic udev events other than 'add/change' as 'change' events.
