Hi all

I'm glad to announce mdadm-4.5. It is published to both remotes
(github and kernel.org). Here are some highlights from CHANGELOG.md.

# Release [mdadm-4.6](https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/mdadm/mdadm.git/log/?h=mdadm-4.6)

Features:
- Add support for new lockless bitmap from Yu Kuai
- Add "PROBING ddf_extended" option in mdadm.conf from Martin Wilck
- Add --detail to usage in ReadMe from Brian Matheson

Fixes:
- Fix uuid endianness mismatch issue in sysfs_rules_apply() from Abirami0904
- Fix mdcheck: don't stop mdcheck_continue.timer from Martin Wilck
- Deal with hot-unplugged devices in platform-intel from Jean Delvare
- Detect corosync and libdlm via pkg-config in Makefile from Maxin John
- Fix UEFI backward compatibility for RAID10D4 in imsm from Blazej Kucman
- Optimize DDF header search using mmap for better performance from lilinzhe
- Set sysfs name after assembling imsm array in incremental from Xiao Ni
- Use creation_time for ctime in imsm container info from Xiao Ni
- Fix sigterm variable to be volatile sig_atomic_t from Cristian Rodríguez
- Use 64-bit off_t across both musl and glibc from Ankur Tyagi
- Fix format overflow error in super-intel.c from Martin Wilck
- Fix compilation errors for unused variables with GCC 16 from Martin Wilck
- Load md_mod first to avoid module loading issues from Xiao Ni

There are some important issues which led to boot failure. These issues
have been fixed recently. It's better to make a new release. So users
can choose a version without these problems.
https://github.com/md-raid-utilities/mdadm/issues/249 has the details.

Best Regards
Xiao
