Main LVM2 changes since the last announcement:

   Added filter for LVM2 to ignore devices that are constituents of 
   inactive md devices.  [Luca Berra]
   64-bit lseek now used.
   Improvements to the configurability of the build process.
   Installs /etc/lvm/lvm.conf if it's not there already.
   Some selinux support.
   A fix to the pre-deactivation device-in-use check.
   A fix to the mounted sysfs detection on 2.6.
   Optionally invoke lvm1 binaries if running on 2.4 without device-mapper.

The device-mapper changes are all minor, mostly related to improving the
configurability of the build process.
There's one change to the kernel patch (driver now reports version 4.1.1):
a fix to an overflow check in the code that reports target status.

More details of changes in the WHATS_NEW files in the tarballs.

Rawhide and Fedora now join Debian in being maintained in line with 
the latest tarball releases.
