Hello everyone! It's about time that the owl-themed release management simulation kicked into high-gear, and as such, I delivereth to you all the first prerelease of Twisted 15.2.
Bringing not only headlining features but also a lot of incremental improvements, this release has got plenty to like:
- twisted.logger has landed! This is a brand-new, feature-rich logging framework. - Python 3.4 is now a supported platform for all the Py3 ported modules. - twisted.trial.unittest.TestCase's assertEqual, assertTrue, and assertFalse methods now pass through the standard library's more informative failure messages. - twisted.python.filepath.FilePath now supports Unicode (text) paths properly, and includes as{Bytes,Text}Mode methods for interacting with APIs that require a text/bytes-only FilePath. - twisted.mail.smtp.sendmail now supports ESMTP and provides a high-level interface for sending mail. - The following parts of Twisted are now ported to Python 3: - twisted.internet.process - twisted.cred.credentials - twisted.python.modules - twisted.internet.kqreactor - twisted.internet.endpoints.ProcessEndpoint - twisted.web.static
As usual, tarballs can be found at http://twistedmatrix.com/Releases/pre/15.2.0pre1/ , and the full NEWS file can be found at http://twistedmatrix.com/Releases/pre/15.2.0pre1/NEWS.txt .
On a personal note, I'd like to thank Tavendo for sponsoring a majority of my Py3 porting work, and everyone who reviewed tickets for getting it landed.
Please test out the new prerelease :)
Twisted regards, Amber "Hawkie" Brown

Hooray!!!! This release is a pretty big deal. This new logging system has been in development for a long time, and the availability of twisted.internet.process on py3 is a pretty big new chunk of twisted.core to be available.
Thank you very much, Amber, for helping us get out timely releases on such a consistent basis.
Reminder, everyone, that you have a week from this announcement to test your software against the pre-release and test any regressions!
(Thanks also to my employer, Rackspace, for giving me the time to review many of these tickets.)

Great news on the release and the ever forward march to more Python 3 compatibility. I'm finally starting to move over a lot of projects to Python 3.4 and plan to try moving my first small Twisted project in about three months. Looking forward to digging in. --Ray
