Twisted 14.0.0 Release Announcement

2014-05-13 Thread HawkOwl
On behalf of Twisted Matrix Laboratories, I am honoured to announce the release 
of Twisted 14.0! It has been a long road to get here, but we’ve done it! 

The highlights of this release are:

- Twisted Positioning (`twisted.positioning`) makes its entry into Twisted! It 
comes ready to talk with common GPS devices, and will supersede 
`twisted.protocols.gps`.

- A wealth of SSL/TLS improvements, including ECDHE support, TLS Service 
Identity (with service_identity on PyPI), a stronger default set of ciphers, 
and strengthening against attacks such as CRIME. A Twisted Web server with 
pyOpenSSL 0.14 is capable of getting an A in Qualys SSL Labs tests out of the 
box, and A+ with small application modifications. Twisted Agent can also now do 
HTTPS hostname verification.

- Python 3 improvements, including the ability for `pip install` to install all 
ported modules.

- Twisted Pair’s TUN/TAP support has been overhauled, with documentation and 
full test coverage.

- Significant documentation improvements, including more API documentation for 
Twisted Mail & Twisted Names, narrative documentation for Twisted Names, and a 
migration to Sphinx for building Twisted narrative docs.

- Support is dropped for pyOpenSSL older than 0.10 and Windows XP.

You can find the downloads at <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Twisted> (or 
alternatively <http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/Downloads>) .

Many thanks to everyone who had a part in this release - we’ve got some big 
things landed, and if it weren’t for the support of developers (both core and 
occasional), the Twisted Software Foundation, or people giving feedback and 
filing bugs, we’d have never got it done.

Twisted Regards,
HawkOwl
