Hi everyone,

I'm pleased to announce that the pre-release for the upcoming Twisted 13.1 is now available!

You can download the tarballs here:

    http://twistedmatrix.com/~ashfall/13.1.0pre1/

Highlights for this release include:

  * trial now has an --exitfirst flag which stops the test run after the first error or failure.
  
  * twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions now supports chain certificates.
  
  * twisted.conch.endpoints.SSHCommandClientEndpoint is a new IStreamClientEndpoint which supports
    connecting a protocol to the stdio of a command running on a remote host via an SSH connection.
  
  * twisted.web.xmlrpc.QueryProtocol now generates valid Authorization headers for long user names 
    and passwords.  
  
  * self.transport.resumeProducing() will no longer raise an AssertionError if called after 
    self.transport.loseConnection()

For the complete list, see the NEWS file.

Please download the tarballs and test them!
