+
+This is the 6th stable release of skiboot 5.3, the new stable release of
+skiboot (first released with 5.3.0 on August 2nd, 2016).
+
+Skiboot 5.3.5 replaces skiboot-5.3.4 as the current stable version. It contains
+a couple of minor bug fixes: simply clarifying two error messages.
+
+Over skiboot-5.3.4, the following fixes are included:

+- centaur: print message on disabling xscoms to centaur due to many errors
+- slw: improve error message for SLW timer stuck
+  We still register dump, but only to in memory console buffer by default.
