When are you planning to do a final release from this, and is there still time to get some odd little bugs fixed in trunk that could end up in this release still? -- Groetjes, ralphm

One of the major objectives Chris talked about for this release was making releases much easier to do. If there are more odds and ends you'd like to see in a release, let's do another release soon :). (It won't be another year and a half.)

I tried deleting my Twisted 2.5.0 install and installed the prerelease, and it works fine with the unit tests for my VIFF project. They use the twisted.protocols.loopback.loopbackAsync function for testing the interaction of several (3 or 4) peers in a network. I have modified it a bit to ensure that things really are run asynchronously. What I mean with this is the I want the server and client to be run interleaved so that an execution trace is not just [C, C, C, C, S, S, S, S] but more like this: [C, S, C, C, S, S, S, C] with some random interleavings. You can find the file here: http://hg.viff.dk/viff/raw-file/tip/viff/test/loopback.py with the relevant diff here: http://hg.viff.dk/viff/rev/21fbfaae93e2 My test case of the asynchronous tests is here: http://hg.viff.dk/viff/raw-file/tip/viff/test/test_async.py I hope this can be of interest for someone... -- Martin Geisler VIFF (Virtual Ideal Functionality Framework) brings easy and efficient SMPC (Secure Multi-Party Computation) to Python.

Thank you for this very specific report of a test! :).
Hm... Why 8.0 ? It's special edition =)? In the official resource i find only this http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/ReleaseAutomation. Where i can read more about new features or in the Twisted-8.0 you modify release auto tools, make test coverage better and stabilize code? Christopher Armstrong wrote:

The new versioning scheme uses the current year (2008) as the basis for overall releases. Twisted Core will be version 2.6.

There should be a NEWS file in the tarball.

Actually we decided that this was confusing and didn't provide much benefit, so everything is going to be 8.0. As a consequence, it will be easier to tell when a Twisted installation is bogus, because the version number of the sub- projects won't match up with each other or with the overall Twisted version number.

Yep, a really big one that David Reid and Christopher Armstrong spent a lot of time writing up. Jean-Paul

The tarball at http://twistedmatrix.com/users/radix/DIST/Twisted-8.0.0pre1.tar.bz2 only has the LICENSE and README files (which incidentally is still for 2.5).

Cool. Why the big version number bump? "Twisted 8.0, with over 3x as much version number as Twisted 2.5."
Please test and provide feedback.
My tests still pass, FWIW. -- David Ripton dripton@ripton.net

We're switching over to a year-based version number: it's 2008, hence Twisted 8. Each release in 2008 will have a version related to the number of releases in the year; i.e. the next release, if we get it out in 2008, will be 8.1.
"Twisted 8.0, with over 3x as much version number as Twisted 2.5."
Well, yes. The other reason is that it's been a very long time since the last release, and a lot has been done.
Please test and provide feedback.
My tests still pass, FWIW.
Thank you very much! I hope that lots of Twisted users will do this :-D
