Hi everyone,

Another Twisted release is upon us -- this one is small, but has some nice to 
haves. In this release is:

- twisted.application.internet.ClientService, a service that maintains a 
persistent outgoing endpoint-based connection -- a replacement for 
ReconnectingClientFactory that uses modern APIs;
- A large (77% on one benchmark) performance improvement when using 
twisted.web's client on PyPy;
- A few conch modules have been ported, in preparation for further porting of 
the SSH functionality;
- Full support for OpenSSL 1.0.2f and above;
- t.web.http.Request.addCookie now accepts Unicode and bytes keys/values;
- `twistd manhole` no longer uses a hard-coded SSH host key, and will generate 
one for you on the fly (this adds a 'appdirs' PyPI dependency, installing with 
[conch] will add it automatically);
- Over eighteen tickets overall closed since 16.0.

As usual, you can get the NEWS file at 
https://twistedmatrix.com/Releases/pre/16.1.0pre1/NEWS.txt and download the 
tarball from https://twistedmatrix.com/Releases/pre/16.1.0pre1/.

Please test this release with your applications, and let me know if all goes 
smoothly. If there's no reported issues, the release will occur in roughly a 
week.

- Amber
