 Version 2.02.112 - 
 =====================================
+  Check for zeroing of volume after segment type is fully detected.
   Better support for persistent major and minor options with lvcreate.
   Refactor lvcreate towards more complete validation of all supported options.
   Support lvcreate --type linear.
