Please test 2.53.6rc1 !!

There have been a number of fixes since 2.53.5 in early May, and it's
almost early November.  We don't have a practice of timed releases, but
my view is that it's good to have a release at least every 6 months so
that accumulated minor fixes are released, and the project appears
maintained.

Also, a new release means bug reports need to be against the new
version.  (Unison continues to have very few people working on it.)

It would be great to have reports from testing.  Feel free to send
positive reports here or to me privately.  Please send reports of
problems here, or to file an issue if you think can argue that unison is
buggy.

I'll probably pick a release date soon and adjust NEWS and the version,
unless I get negative reports.

NEWS:

  ## Changes in 2.53.6 (NOT YET RELEASED) 

  Released FUTURE

    * Remove workaround for Windows DST: Time differences of one hour
      are no longer treated as not different.
    * Time remaining, when over 24h, shown as days and HMS instead of
      just HMS.
    * Stop using deprecated [GdkPixbuf.from_xpm_data] (avoids problems
      with some versions of gdkpixbuf).

    Deprecation warning: support for external rsync will be removed,
    likely in 2.54.0.
