| skiboot-5.6.0 |
| ============= |
| |
| skiboot-5.6.0 was released on Wednesday 24th May 2017. 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. |
