Release 2.03.16

Mostly bug fixes and minor improvements.

Release 2.03.15

WARNING: This release removes service based autoactivation.
global/event_activation = 0 does nothing, user is responsible to
activate any volumes.

- Removed service based autoactivation.
- New man page lvmautoactivation(7).

Release 2.03.14

- New udev autoactivation.
- vdoimport renamed to lvm_import_vdo.
- Add IMA support with 'dmsetup measure' command.
- Improved VDO support.
- New appmachineid option for global/system_id_source config option.
- New log/journal config option (and --journal CLI option)
- Many bug fixes, improvements, and clean ups.

Test Release 2.03.13

WARNING: This release is intended mainly for testing.

Less reliance on udev:
- Users suffering from udev timeouts are sometimes recommended to change the
  obtain_device_list_from_udev configuration option to 0. This is now default
  and /dev is read instead of udev.
- Use of multipath wwids file to quick check if device is multipath.

See devices/external_device_info_source, devices/obtain_device_list_from_udev,
and devices/multipath_wwids_file help in lvm.conf

Other changes worth highlighting:

- Refactoring of archive() and backup() internal calls.
- New vdoimport tool to convert VDO volumes to LVs (requires updated kernel and
  vdo tools.)

And many fixes, improvements, and clean ups.

Release 2.03.12

Two notable changes are devices file and metadata based autoactivation.

Fix exported symbols generation with GCC10's new LTO optimizer.  Can be
overridden by configure --with/without-symvers.

Greatly improved reliability of test suite, now reporting much less false
positives.

And many fixes, improvements, and clean ups.

New devices file feature is off by default for now.
When on devices file is used to filter devices which are scanned for PVs.
Devices file can be overridden by --devicesfile on command line.
Two new commands to manipulate devices file - lvmdevices(8) and
vgimportdevices(8), and new configuration options in devices section:
use_devicesfile, devicesfile and search_for_devnames.

Metadata based autoactivation property for LVs and VGs set in lvcreate/vgcreate
using --setautoactivation option and modified by lvchange/vgchange.
