On behalf of Twisted Matrix Laboratories, I am pleased to announce the release of Twisted 11.1. Highlights of the 185 tickets closed include: * The poll reactor as default where applicable, instead of select everywhere. * A new SSL implementation only relying on OpenSSL for cryptography, (not I/O) making it more robust. * Several improvements to the fresh HTTP/1.1 client implementation, including proxy and cookie support. * My personal favorite: a new howto has been published on test-driven development with Twisted. * A special mention to the new abortConnection support on TCP and SSL connections, heroically pushed by Itamar and Jean-Paul, and the oldest ticket closed by this release. This is the last release supporting Python 2.4 (the support on Windows stopped with 11.0).
