 Version 1.02.83
 ==================================
+  Consistently report on stderr when device is not found for dmsetup info.
   Skip race errors when non-udev dmsetup build runs on udev-enabled system.
   Skip error message when holders are not present in sysfs.
   Use __linux__ instead of linux define to make libdevmapper.h C compliant.
