Thank you for the new release.  Unfortunately I get 9 failures running the 
test suite:

tests/00raid1...          FAILED
tests/07autoassemble...   FAILED
tests/07changelevels...   FAILED
tests/07revert-grow...    FAILED
tests/07revert-inplace... FAILED
tests/07testreshape5...   FAILED
tests/10ddf-fail-twice... FAILED
tests/20raid5journal...   FAILED
tests/10ddf-incremental-wrong-order...  FAILED

The procedure I used was

make
sudo ./test --keep-going --logdir=test-logs --save-logs

I'll also note that there is an irritating message when a test fails:
cp: cannot stat '/var/tmp/log': No such file or directory

This can be fixed easily enough with:
sed -i 's# if.* == "1"#& -a -e $targetdir/log#' test

I don't know if this mailing list is the right place to report bugs or 
not.  I do not want to spam the list with the logs but they are available at:
