+Cryptsetup 1.5.1 Release Notes
+==============================
+
+Changes since version 1.5.0
+
+* The libcryptsetup library now tries to initialize device-mapper backend and
+  loop devices only if they are really needed (lazy initializations).
+  This allows some operations to be run by a non-root user.
+
+  (Unfortunately LUKS header keyslot operations still require temporary dm-crypt
+  device and device-mapper subsystem is available only to superuser.)
+
+  Also clear error messages are provided if running as non-root user and
+  operation requires privileged user.
+
+* Veritysetup can be now used by normal user for creating hash image to file
+  and also it can create hash image if doesn't exist.
+  (Previously it required pre-allocated space.)
+
+* Added crypt_keyslot_area() API call which allows external tools
+  to get exact keyslot offsets and analyse content.
+
+  An example of a tool that searches the keyslot area of a LUKS container
+  for positions where entropy is low and hence there is a high probability
+  of damage is in misc/kesylot_checker.
+  (Thanks to Arno Wagner for the code.)
+
+* Optimized seek to keyfile-offset if key offset is large.
+
+* Fixed luksHeaderBackup for very old v1.0 unaligned LUKS headers.
