HDP 2.5.6.0 is now released and includes about 60 Apache JIRA fixes

[#1]

I'd like to announce the availability of HDP 2.5.6.0. This release continues from HDP 2.5.5.0, adding about 60 Apache JIRAs and includes Knox and YARN security fixes. There are no features introduced with this maintenance release.

The release details can be found in the HDP 2.5.6.0 Release Notes.

Supported OS platforms are the usual CentOS 6/7, SLES 11/12, Debian 7 and Ubuntu 12/14.

This will soon be available on Azure HDInsight as soon as our testing is unblocked due to some other issues.

Thanks to everyone who lent a hand in this release, including the Apache community.
