 * Fixed the problem that, if there were multiple maps with deferred failback
   (`failback` value > 0 in `multipath.conf`), some maps might fail back later
   than configured. The problem existed since 0.9.6.
+* Fixed handling of empty maps, i.e. multipath maps that have a multipath UUID
+  but don't contain a device-mapper table. Such maps can occur in very rare
+  cases if some device-mapper operation has failed, or if a tool has been
+  killed in the process of map creation. multipathd will now detect such
+  cases, and either remove these maps or reload them as appropriate.
+* During map creation, fixed the case where a map with different name, but
+  matching UUID and matching type was already present. multipathd
+  previously failed to set up such maps. Now it will reload them with the
+  correct content.
