The first maintenance release of the 5.6 series of NAV is now out!
The source code is available for download at GitHub [1].
New packages for Debian 10 (Buster) and 11 (Bullseye) are available in our APT repository [2] as usual.
Please be extra aware of config file changes. Look out for `*.dpkg-dist` files in `/etc/nav` and make sure to update your running config.
