[ixpmanager] [RELEASE] V5.6.0 - Security Fix, Per-Member Document Store and Bug Fixes

[Barry O'Donovan]

Hi all,

something we have been working on in the background is a series of IXP

If it helps with upgrading, I've just put one live that shows the 
upgrade process from v5.5.0 to v5.6.0 which can be seen here:

And our IXP Manager channel is:
