On behalf of Twisted Matrix Laboratories, I am honored to announce the release of Twisted 12.2.

Highlights for this release include:

* To be able to work on Python3 support, Python 2.5 is no longer supported.

* twisted.mail.imap4 now serves BODYSTRUCTURE responses which provide more information and conform to the IMAP4 RFC more closely.

* twisted.conch now supports commercial SSH implementations which don't comply with the IETF standard.

* twisted.internet.endpoints now provides several new endpoints, including a TCP client endpoint that resolves hostnames to IPv6 host addresses.

* IReactorSocket.adoptStreamConnection, implemented by some reactors, allows adding an existing established connection to the reactor.

Starting with the release after 12.2, Twisted will begin requiring zope.interface 3.6 (as part of Python 3 support).

This is the last Twisted release supporting Python 2.6 on Windows.
