I am pleased to announce the availability of 
   mdadm version 1.5.0
It is available at
   http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/source/mdadm/
and
   http://www.{countrycode}.kernel.org/pub/utils/raid/mdadm/

as a source tar-ball and (at the first site) as an SRPM, and as an RPM for i386.

mdadm is a tool for creating, managing and monitoring
device arrays using the "md" driver in Linux, also
known as Software RAID arrays.

  - new command "mdassemble" for use in initrd/initramfs.
  - raid6 support (for 2.6.2 and later kernels)
  - RebuildFinished event in monitor mode.
  - include rebuild status in --detail output.
  - fixes for assorted compilation problems
