Right, this is because we up the rt version every time we merge a
stable version and have conflicts, and in this release there were a
lot, so it jumped from -rt55 to -rt59.  We only announce the releases
and not the intervening version bumps, which is why you couldn't find
any announcements for them. 

There are more details about exactly how the version numbers change
here:

Yeah, thanks for pointing that out.  Looks like my script doesn't push
the intervening tags correctly, but I've pushed them out now.

Yeah, pretty much.
