On behalf of  Twisted Matrix Laboratories, I am pleased to announce the release of

Twisted 13.1.

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.

  * twisted.internet.endpoints.connectProtocol allows connecting to a client endpoint using only

    a protocol instance, rather than requiring a factory.
