[Twisted-Python] Twisted 13.2.0pre1 Announcement
Hello everyone! I bring news of a Twisted pre-release - 13.2.0pre1, to be exact! This will be followed by the full release of 13.2.0 in the coming weeks. The highlights of this release are: * Twisted now includes a HostnameEndpoint implementation which uses IPv4 and IPv6 in parallel, speeding up the connection by using whichever connects first (the 'Happy Eyeballs'/RFC 6555 algorithm). (#4859) * Improved support for Cancellable Deferreds by kaizhang, our GSoC student. (#4320, #6532, #6572, #6639) * Improved Twisted.Mail documentation by shira, our Outreach Program for Women intern. (#6649, #6652) * twistd now waits for the application to start successfully before exiting after daemonization. (#823) * SSL server endpoint string descriptions now support the specification of chain certificates. (#6499) * Over 70 closed tickets since 13.1.0. For more information, check the NEWS file (link provided below). The pre-release tarballs can be found at the link below - please download them and test them as much as you can.

Hello HawkOwl! Congratulations on getting your first Twisted release started, and thank you very much for volunteering to do it!

Fantastic! Arguably adding this was one of the central points of the Endpoints API in the first place, this unified "do what I want" endpoint is a big step forward for any clients using Twisted! :-). It's great to see this finally land.
* Improved support for Cancellable Deferreds by kaizhang, our GSoC student. (#4320, #6532, #6572, #6639) * Improved Twisted.Mail documentation by shira, our Outreach Program for Women intern. (#6649, #6652)
Clearly our participation in these programs is continuing to be a huge benefit to Twisted.
* twistd now waits for the application to start successfully before exiting after daemonization. (#823) * SSL server endpoint string descriptions now support the specification of chain certificates. (#6499)
I can't wait to get this deployed on twistedmatrix.com itself ;-). -glyph
