[sr-dev] Development for v5.6.x is frozen

[Daniel-Constantin Mierla]

Hello,

the git branch 5.6 will be created shortly. Hold any commit to master
branch till it is announced on mailing list. If it is a bug fix, then
can be backported using the git cherry-pick like done for all stable
branches.

Cheers,
Daniel
