It's an oversight. I don't know how the PyPI announcement was done (although I'd love to!), but I think you can announce new versions without decommissioning old ones. As for the twistedmatrix.com website, I can fix that so that 9.0.0 is easy-installable, but I don't know how. Let me know & I'll get it done. jml _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
