[Twisted-Python] Twisted 12.2.0pre1 is here!

The pre-release for the upcoming Twisted 12.2 is now available! You can download the tarballs here: http://twistedmatrix.com/~ashfall/12.2.0pre1/ Highlights for this release include: * To be able to work on Python3 support, Python 2.5 is no longer supported. * twisted.mail.imap4 now serves BODYSTRUCTURE responses which provide more information and conform to the IMAP4 RFC more closely. * twisted.conch now supports commercial SSH implementations which don't comply with the IETF standard. * twisted.internet.endpoints now provides several new endpoints, including a TCP client endpoint that resolves hostnames to IPv6 host addresses. * IReactorSocket.adoptStreamConnection, implemented by some reactors, allows adding an existing established connection to the reactor. For the complete list, see the NEWS file. Note that starting with the next release after 12.2, Twisted will begin requiring zope.interface 3.6 (as part of Python3 support). Please download the tarballs and test them rigorously, so we can have a great release! Thanks! -- Ashwini Oruganti (ashfall)

Hooray. As it's been about a week, and I haven't seen any complaints, I expect a final release is imminent. I'd like to suggest that we make this release, 12.2, the last release to support Python 2.6 on Windows. Historically we have dropped support for older versions of Python on Windows before dropping it on other platforms, and as we just moved all the other supported platforms up to requiring Python 2.6 or newer, this seems like a good time to move Windows up to requiring Python 2.7. This also makes sense in light of our *highly* overloaded continuous integration system, which now takes over an hour to complete the Windows portion of our testing. A note about this dependency bump should be included in the NEWS file and the final release announcement as well. Jean-Paul
