On behalf of Twisted Matrix Laboratories, I am honoured to announce the release of Twisted 16.5!

The highlights of this release are:

- The ability to use "python -m twisted" to call the new `twist` runner,

- More reliable tests from a more reliable implementation of some things, like IOCP,

- Fixes for async/await & twisted.internet.defer.ensureDeferred, meaning it's getting closer to prime time!

- ECDSA support in Conch & ckeygen (which has also been ported to Python 3),

- Python 3 support for Words' IRC support and twisted.protocols.sip among some smaller modules,

- Some HTTP/2 server optimisations,

- and a few bugfixes to boot!

For more information, check the NEWS file (link provided below).

You can find the downloads at <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Twisted> (or alternatively <http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/Downloads>). The NEWS file is also available at <https://github.com/twisted/twisted/blob/twisted-16.6.0/NEWS>.

Many thanks to everyone who had a part in this release - the supporters of the Twisted Software Foundation, the developers who contributed code as well as documentation, and all the people building great things with Twisted!

Twisted Regards,
Amber Brown (HawkOwl)
