Bug fix release

Compatibility

Warning: Due to a bug (#5570), RethinkDB 2.2.6 fails to migrate data directories from RethinkDB 2.0.x or earlier. Please use RethinkDB 2.2.5 for migrating your data, and then upgrade to RethinkDB 2.2.5 in a second step.

RethinkDB 2.2.6 servers cannot be mixed with servers running RethinkDB 2.2.1 or earlier
in the same cluster.

No migration is required when upgrading from RethinkDB 2.2.0 or higher. Please read the
RethinkDB 2.2.0 release notes if you're upgrading from an
older version.
