Hi everyone, it's time for another Twisted release! Twisted 16.0 brings some important changes, and some nice-to-haves as well. The major things are: - TLS endpoints have arrived! They're like the old `ssl:` endpoints, but support faster IPv4/IPv6 connections (using HostnameEndpoint) and always do hostname verification. - Conch now uses Cryptography instead of PyCrypto for underlying cryptographic operations. This means it'll work much better on PyPy! - Headers objects (notably used by t.web.server.Request) now support Unicode for the vast majority of cases, encoding keys to ISO-8859-1 and values to UTF-8. - WSGI support and AMP have been ported to Python 3, along with a handful of other modules. - More shedding of the past, with the GTK+ 1 reactor being removed. - Over 45 tickets have been closed. As usual, it's available for download -- go here (https://twistedmatrix.com/Releases/pre/16.0.0pre1/) to get the prerelease tarballs and the full NEWS file. Please let me know if you have any issues, as well as if you don't! If everything works well, that's a good thing for me to know :) Thanks! <3 - Amber Brown Twisted Release Manager
