[Twisted-Python] Twisted 11.1.0 Released

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). For more information, see the NEWS file here: http://twistedmatrix.com/Releases/Twisted/11.1/NEWS.txt Download it now from: http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/T/Twisted/Twisted-11.1.0.tar.bz2 or http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.5/T/Twisted/Twisted-11.1.0.win32-py2.5.msi or http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.6/T/Twisted/Twisted-11.1.0.win32-py2.6.msi or http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.7/T/Twisted/Twisted-11.1.0.win32-py2.7.msi Thanks to the supporters of the Twisted Software Foundation and to the many contributors for this release. -- Thomas

This just gets better and better :) Thanks so much for getting the release out, and to all who contributed to making it the best release of Twisted ever. jml

A gentle reminder: those supporters should renew their sponsorships; we were remarkably lax in 2011, but at the beginning of 2012, all those logos will be coming down off the front page unless they are renewed :-). Sponsored development and especially sponsored reviews really helped to make 11.1 what it is, It would be great to make 12.0 (and beyond) even better! -glyph

I just had a look at the page explaining the TSF. In the section "Benefits of Sponsorship", the first note about logos reads: "Placement on the front page of http://twistedmatrix.com will be for donations that equal or are more than the Bronze level." The "equal or" seems to be wrong.

I don't have any problem with the wording, but maybe "... that equal or exceed the Bronze level" would be clearer, in case some people have trouble parsing it. In BNF, the original wording means "... will be for donations that [equal | are more than] the Bronze level." and is unambigous to me.

On a second glance, the problem is not on the sponsorship page, but on the homepage. The explanation under the "Your Logo Here" section reads:
There _are_ two "Bronze" level logos, which I didn't correctly identify as such (maybe due to the small font of the headings). Thus it's the homepage which should be corrected.
