Version 1.02.64 -
===================================
Streamline /dev/mapper/control node code for common cases.
Use hard-coded dm control node device number for 2.6.36 kernels and above.
Improve stack debug reporting in dm_task_create().
Fallback to control node creation only if node doesn't exist yet.
Change dm_hash API for binary data to accept const void *key.
