[kafka-site] branch asf-site updated: 2.6.0 release (#277)

This is an automated email from the ASF dual-hosted git repository.

rhauch pushed a commit to branch asf-site
in repository https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/kafka-site.git


The following commit(s) were added to refs/heads/asf-site by this push:
     new 5ff8f37  2.6.0 release (#277)
5ff8f37 is described below

commit 5ff8f37ae85c40070ea57390ea8965f1f39f4a27
Author: Randall Hauch <rh...@gmail.com>
AuthorDate: Thu Aug 6 08:18:16 2020 -0500

    2.6.0 release (#277)
    
    Add 2.6.0 release to website. Simplified slightly the upgrade language in the upgrade sections.
    
    This also restores the 2.5.0 upgrade notes lost during previous release, which added these 2.5.0 upgrade notes to the kafka-site’s `25/upgrade.html` file but not the `documentation/upgrade.html` in the kafka repo that generates the kafka-site content.
