 Version 2.02.99 - 
 ===================================
+  Add LV snapshot support to liblvm and python-lvm.
   Avoid a global lock in pvs when lvmetad is in use.
   Fix crash in pvscan --cache -aay triggered by non-mda PV.
   Allow lvconvert --stripes/stripesize only with --mirrors/--repair/--thinpool.
