Z-Push 2.6.0 final released

[Manfred]

Hello,

we have just released Z-Push 2.6.0 final (tag 2.6.0 commit 1c7338a655a2060b9ff28aa585f41ac58c510731).

This release includes a couple of new features and improvements as well as bug fixes.

It is now possible to disable a specific device using its id.

We added an option to hide group Everyone in gabsync.

This version contains several z-push-admin improvements for fixstates.

There is now an option to disable KOE handling of setting a custom sync timeframe based on the total storesize.

postinst on debian based systems now won’t execute fixstates which should update Z-Push faster.

Several IMAP backend improvements and fixes.

Several other fixes and improvements for Z-Push core as well as the backends.

Install Z-Push 2.6.0 final from the final repositories (recommended) Z-Push Wiki.

Thanks a lot to Z-Push contributors James, Michael, Michele, Simon! Sorry if I forgot anybody, but nevertheless your contributions are highly appreciated. Also thanks to everybody providing us feedback.
