+This post includes release notes for the prior patch releases in this
+minor release.
+
+`stratisd` 3.6.4 includes a fix for `stratisd-min` handling of the start
+command sent by `stratis-min` to unencrypted pools. It also captures and logs
+errors messages emitted by the `thin_check` or `mkfs.xfs` executables.
+
+`stratisd` 3.6.3 explicitly sets the `nrext64` option to 0 when invoking
+`mkfs.xfs`. A recent version of XFS changed the default for `nrext64` to 1.
+Explicitly setting the value to 0 prevents `stratisd` from creating XFS
+filesystems that are unmountable on earlier kernels.
+
+`stratisd` 3.6.2 includes a fix in the way thin devices are allocated in order
+to avoid misalignment of distinct sections of the thin data device. Such
+misalignments may result in a performance degradation.
+
+`stratisd` 3.6.1 includes a fix to correct a problem where `stratisd` would fail
+to unlock a pool if the pool was encrypted using both Clevis and the kernel
+keyring methods but the key in the kernel keyring was unavailable.
+
+All releases include a number of housekeeping and maintenance updates.
