I'm happy to announce txtorcon 23.5.0 with the following changes:
* twisted.web.client.Agent instances now use the same HTTPS policy
by default as twisted.web.client.Agent. It is possible to
override this policy with the tls_context_factory= argument, the
equivalent to Agent's contextFactory=
(Thanks to Itamar Turner-Trauring)
* Added support + testing for Python 3.11.
* No more ipaddress dependency
You can download the release from PyPI or GitHub (or of
course "pip install txtorcon"):
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/txtorcon/23.5.0
https://github.com/meejah/txtorcon/releases/tag/v23.5.0
Releases are also available from the hidden service:
http://fjblvrw2jrxnhtg67qpbzi45r7ofojaoo3orzykesly2j3c2m3htapid.onion/txtorcon-23.5.0.tar.gz
http://fjblvrw2jrxnhtg67qpbzi45r7ofojaoo3orzykesly2j3c2m3htapid.onion/txtorcon-23.5.0.tar.gz.asc
You can verify the sha256sum of both by running the following 4 lines
in a shell wherever you have the files downloaded:
cat <<EOF | sha256sum --check

*Top-posting? Really?
Actually, a very cursory look through the intarweb would have yielded
this -
https://txtorcon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/introduction.html
as well as this -
https://github.com/meejah/txtorcon
While there are one or two graphical package managers (yumex and
yumex-dnf that I know of), have a go at the cli manager(s) that may live
on your distro and see if you can get pkg info about it. If you're not
sure which one(s) you have, try these - Yum, Dnf, Rpm,Apt, Apt-Get, Deb,
pacman, dpkg, and zypper for starters. *dpkg is my go-to pkgmgr of choice...
Also, the names of many linux-centric utility plugins, extensions, and
other goodies, while seemingly cryptic, are usually a prominent clue as
to what the package is used for. The world of *NIX has never been for
the faint of heart, but there are lots of very helping hands in its
communities... :)
