Kirby 5.6.0 and 4.9.6 released

Hey everyone,

As announced last week, we are releasing new updates and security patches today following the summer break.

Kirby 5.6.0 and 4.9.6

Check out the release notes:
https://github.com/getkirby/kirby/releases/tag/5.6.0
https://github.com/getkirby/kirby/releases/tag/4.9.6

They bundle a bunch of patches for security issues, we have linked the individual advisories in the release notes as well. Kirby 5.6 also includes a number of nice enhancements and additional bug fixes.

A new pre-release for v6 will arrive in the next few weeks and will contain the patches then as well.

The updates are recommended for all installations. Where possible, we have included also workarounds in the advisory notes for those cases where upgrading might not be an option.

Please let us know if you have any questions!
And thanks again to everyone involved in reporting issues to us responsibly (and with well-drafted and assessed reports). :heart_hands:

When is v6 expected? Any ideas?

Before the end of the year.
