+Changes in CTDB 2.5.6
+=====================
+
+User-visible changes
+--------------------
+
+* CTDB_DBDIR can now be set to tmpfs[:<tmpfs-options>]
+
+  This will cause volatile TDBs to be located in a tmpfs.  This can
+  help to avoid performance problems associated with contention on the
+  disk where volatile TDBs are usually stored.  See ctdbd.conf(5) for
+  more details.
+
+* Resetting statistics now also resets database statistics
+
+* ctdb CLI tool pstore/pdelete/ptrans now accept keys in hex format
+
+* New -l option to ping_pong for validation of fcntl(2) lock coherency
+
+Important bug fixes
+-------------------
+
+* Fixed a regression in the VLAN interface monitoring code
+
+* Reverted a change that intentionally caused an abort when the
+  recovery lock could be taken by a ctdbd process during recovery.
+  There were corner cases where this was no appropriate...
+
+* Numerous resource leak fixes, many of which were foudn by Coverity
+
+Important internal changes
+--------------------------
+
+* TDB checking is now done under a timeout
+
+  This avoid cases where tdbtool/tdbdump can hang indefinitely if the
+  database size grows to over 4GB.
+
+* The Samba eventscript now logs errors from testparm
+
+* Cleaned up route flushing code to avoid noise in logs
