Subject:  ANNOUNCE: mdadm 3.2.4 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux

I am pleased to announce the availability of
   mdadm version 3.2.4

It is available at the usual places, now including github:
   countrycode=xx.
   http://www.${countrycode}kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/raid/mdadm/
and via git at
   git://github.com/neilbrown/mdadm
   git://neil.brown.name/mdadm
   http://neil.brown.name/git/mdadm

This release is largely a bugfix release for the 3.2 series with many
minor fixes with little or no impact.

"--oneline" log of changes is below.  Some notable ones are:

 - --offroot argument to improve interactions between mdmon and initrd
 - --prefer argument to select which /dev names to display in some
   circumstances.
 - relax restructions on when "--add" will be allowed
 - Fix bug with adding write-intent-bitmap to active array
 - Now defaults to "/run/mdadm" for storing run-time files.

Upgrading is encouraged.

The next mdadm release is expected to be 3.3 with a number of new
features.
