New LVM release
---------------
LVM version 2.02.96 is now available from
  ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/lvm2/

and this is mirrored on the sites listed here:
  http://sourceware.org/mirrors.html

Lots of little enhancements and fixes this time.
For a summary:
  ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/lvm2/WHATS_NEW_DM

git
---
This release was done from a new git repository at:
  git://git.fedorahosted.org/git/lvm2.git
  http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/lvm2.git
  
The project web page should be up to date again with locations.
  http://sourceware.org/lvm2/

The CVS repository will no longer be updated.

veritysetup
-----------
Although this release contains a userspace tool for dm-verity,
  configure --with-verity-setup=<cryptlib>
we think the cryptsetup package would provide a better home for this
so watch out for an updated version in an upcoming cryptsetup release.

Please do not use this version except for experiments and do not package
it in distributions yet.

Superblock format will perhaps change a little bit and also veritysetup utility
from cryptsetup source will use different command syntax (similar to dmsetup
and cryptsetup) and get full library support through libcryptsetup.

The code is maintained in separate veritysetup branch in cryptsetup git
for now, once it get back all features it will be merged to main branch (next week).

Do not package LVM release 2.02.96 at all, or just the verity stuff?

Just veritysetup - its interfaces/formats are still being changed
(within userspace - no interface changes are planned on the kernel side)
and the new version will not be backwards-compatible.
