This is the third testing call for OpenLDAP 2.6.0 Release.  This is
expected to be the final testing call.
Generally, get the code for RE26:

<https://git.openldap.org/openldap/openldap/-/archive/OPENLDAP_REL_ENG_2_6/openldap-OPENLDAP_REL_ENG_2_6.tar.gz>

Extract, configure, and build.

Execute the test suite (via make test) after it is built.  Optionally, cd
tests && make its to run through the regression suite.

A list of items fixed and added in 2.6 can be found at:

<https://bugs.openldap.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=RESOLVED&bug_status=VERIFIED&product=OpenLDAP&query_format=advanced&resolution=FIXED&resolution=TEST&target_milestone=2.6.0>

A major change with 2.6 is the optional ability to bypass syslog for
logging (ITS#6949).  This significantly improves slapd and lloadd
performance.

Additionally, the following deprecated backends have been removed:

back-ndb
back-shell
