commit 5ff8f37ae85c40070ea57390ea8965f1f39f4a27
Author: Randall Hauch <[email protected]>
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.

+            We build for multiple versions of Scala. This only matters if you 
are using Scala and you want a version
+            built for the same Scala version you use. Otherwise any version 
should work (2.13 is recommended).

+    <p>

has large numbers of partitions</li>
+        <li>Smooth scaling out of Kafka Streams applications</li>
+        <li>Kafka Streams support for emit on change</li>
+        <li>New metrics for better operational insight</li>
+        <li>Kafka Connect can automatically create topics for source

+        <li>The default value for the `client.dns.lookup` configuration is now
