+- bump version 0.2.6, this is a bug fix release.
+  * issue 19, -q|--quiet no longer sends some commands into an
+    inf-loop
+  * netbsd test failures are fixed (due to missing leap seconds)
+  * AIX builds are supported (getopt_long() is part of the code
+    now)
+  * internally the test harness is migrated to the cli-testing tool
+    this fixes an issue when tests are run in directories with odd
+    names (spaces, dollar signs, etc. in the path name)
+  * See info page examples and/or README.
