 Version 2.02.178 - 
 =====================================
+  Do not report LV as remotely active when it's locally exclusive in cluster.
   Add deprecate messages for usage of mirrors with mirrorlog.
   Restore pvmove support for wide-clustered active volumes (2.02.177).
   Avoid non-exclusive activation of exclusive segment types.
