On behalf of Twisted Matrix Laboratories, I am honoured to announce the
release of Twisted 16.2!
Just in time for PyCon US, this release brings a few headlining features
(like the haproxy endpoint) and the continuation of the modernisation of
the codebase. More Python 3, less deprecated code, what's not to like?
- twisted.protocols.haproxy.proxyEndpoint, a wrapper endpoint that gives
some extra information to the wrapped protocols passed by haproxy;
- Migration of twistd and other twisted.application.app users to the new
logging system (twisted.logger);
- Porting of parts of Twisted Names' server to Python 3;
- The removal of the very old MSN client code and the deprecation of the
unmaintained ICQ/OSCAR client code;
- More cleanups in Conch in preparation for a Python 3 port and cleanups
in HTTP code in preparation for HTTP/2 support;
- Over thirty tickets overall closed since 16.1.
For more information, check the NEWS file (link provided below).
You can find the downloads at <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Twisted> (or
alternatively <http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/Downloads>). The NEWS
file is also available at <
https://github.com/twisted/twisted/blob/twisted-16.2.0/NEWS>.
Many thanks to everyone who had a part in this release - the supporters of
the Twisted Software Foundation, the developers who contributed code as
well as documentation, and all the people building great things with
Twisted!
Twisted Regards,
Amber Brown (HawkOwl)

This is also the release in which the code hosting was switched to
GitHub... so source links from documentation will now link to github.

Great work Amber! Thanks!
