 Version 2.02.23 - 
 ====================================
+  Remove no-longer-used uuid_out parameter from activation info functions.
   Fix two more segfaults if an empty config file section encountered.
   Move .cache file into a new /etc/lvm/cache directory by default.
   Add devices/cache_dir & devices/cache_file_prefix, deprecating devices/cache.
