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.

- Show error message on invalid ip address in ipdevinfo (#2590, #2589)
