+- 2.5.6 release 
+  ptp2:
+  * Nikon D3000/D3100/D3200: It hides the "good" capture opcodes from the
+    DeviceInfo. Override and add them. If you see capture bugs, please report
+    with debuglogfile.
+  * "exposurecompensation" now in correct size (-3.0 <-> 3.0 usually)
+  * Canon EOS: decode and report "focusinfo" variable that outputs the focus information of the camera.
+  * Canon EOS: autofocusdrive=0 and cancelautofocus=1 added to cancel autofocusing,
+    to avoid blocking the camera.
+  * Canon EOS: "eosviewfinder" renamed to "viewfinder"
+  * Sony SLT: Make property setting work for "iso", "exposurecompensation",
+    "f-number", "shutterspeed"
+  * Canon EOS: crash on 700D fixed
+  * Nikon DSLR: race condition on object addition handled better
+  * Nikon DSLR: make sure we make a pause a bit during polling after capture.
+  * IDs added:
+    Nikon: Coolpix P7800, S1, J4
+    Nikon: D3300, D610, D4s, D810, D750
+    Canon: IXUS 125HS, PowerShot Elph340HS
+    Leica M9
+  * various bugfixes
+
+  libgphoto2_port/usb1:
+  * fixed a memory leak
+  * api changed for gp_log_data to make smaller debuglogs possible
