It is the new stable +release of skiboot, taking over from the 5.5 release, first released on +April 7th 2017. It is the first release done in a regular six week release +cycle, mirroring that of op-build. + +skiboot-5.6.0 contains all bug fixes as of :ref:`skiboot-5.4.4` +and :ref:`skiboot-5.1.19` (the currently maintained stable releases). We +do not currently expect to do any 5.5.x stable releases. + +For how the skiboot stable releases work, see :ref:`stable-rules` for details. + +This release is a good level set of POWER9 support for bringup activities. +If you are doing bringup, it is strongly suggested you continue to follow +skiboot master. + +Changes in skiboot-5.6.0 +------------------------ + +See changes in the release candidates: + +- :ref:`skiboot-5.6.0-rc1` +- :ref:`skiboot-5.6.0-rc2` + +The final 5.6.0 release has no functional changes over the 5.6.0-rc2. + |
