[Twisted-Python] Announcing Twisted 10.1.0pre2!

It's this time of the year again! From the dangerous and intrepid land of Montréal, Canada, I have the pleasure to announce the first 10.2.0 pre-release. Tarballs for Twisted 10.2.0pre1 are now available at: http://people.canonical.com/~therve/Twisted/10.2.0pre1/ Highlights include: * A new implementation of the Deferred callbacks firing, which now handles chains iteratively instead of recursively, and should prevent recursion errors. * Deferred.setTimeout has finally been removed. And the usual load of bug fixes. For more information, see the NEWS file. Please download the tarballs and test them as much as possible. I intend to do a final release within the next 2 weeks, if I didn't die by ingestion of poutine. Thanks, Thomas

Of the subject should say 10.2.0pre1, I hope you translated. -- Thomas

Woot! ...
Since you're the first person to do a release after I wrote the process document, I have to know: did it help? any bugs? any missing/confusing bits? jml

It helped a lot. Releasing is mostly about reading the document and pasting at the command line. It also caught outdated data in README and INSTALL. The indirection of the information in separate bugs is a bit difficult, but this means we should just fix those :). Regarding the announcement email, I should probably put up for review a little bit longer, to catch version typos and basic english errors... -- Thomas

Glad to hear it.

Agreed. You should invite me to Paris for a release tools sprint some time :)

I think it's better to find someone to be a release reviewer so they can go over that stuff quickly and within a set time. Otherwise you can be waiting forever. jml

Maybe we can also mention the new email auth example and the spawnProcess optimization? Or a few other issues that seem interesting. The Deferred changes are cool, but only having two highlights for the release seems weak.
I did a user install (without setuptools) on Ubuntu 9.10. Some observations: * #4503 was misclassified as a core bug, but it's a words bug. * There are still .doc files in the topfiles directories * There are two trial test failures, apparently the ones fixed by #4608 * The topfiles directories all get installed * twisted/web/test/test_util.py appears to be missing Aside from the two trial failures the test suite passes. I'm installing this on my mail server now, I'll post again if I run into any troubles there. Jean-Paul

This sounds like a bug in the release process or in the tools themselves. Thomas, would you be able to file a bug about this?

Likewise, these seem to be bugs in release tools.
Thanks for testing. jml
