 Version 2.02.87 - 
 ===============================
+  Add ability to down-convert RAID1 arrays.
   Update udev rules to skip DM flags decoding for removed devices.
   Add detect_internal_vg_cache_corruption to lvm.conf, disabled by default.
   Use memory pool locking to check for corruption of internal VG structs.
