GnuTLS 2.5.6, second release candidate for 2.6.0

[Simon Josefsson]

The GnuTLS 2.5.x branch is NOT what you want for your stable system.  It
is intended for developers and experienced users.

No serious issues were brought up for 2.5.5, so let's set a goal date
for the 2.6.0 stable release: 1 October.  This is the second release
candidate.  Test it as if it were a new stable release!

Here are the compressed sources:

Here is the OpenPGP signature:

Improving GnuTLS is costly, but you can help!  We are looking for
organizations that find GnuTLS useful and wish to contribute back.  You
can contribute by reporting bugs, improve the software, or donate money
or equipment.

Commercial support contracts for GnuTLS are available, and they help
finance continued maintenance.  Simon Josefsson Datakonsult, a Stockholm
based privately held company, is currently funding GnuTLS maintenance.
We are always looking for interesting development projects.  See
http://josefsson.org/ for more details.
