On behalf of Twisted Matrix Laboratories, I am honoured to announce the =
release of Twisted 15.5!

The sixth (!!) release in 2015 has quite a few goodies in it -- =
incrementalism is the name of the game here, and everything is just a =
little better than it was before. Some of the highlights of this release =
are:

- Python 3.5 support on POSIX was added, and Python 2.6 support was =
dropped. We also only support x64 Python on Windows 7 now.
- More than nine additional modules have been ported to Python 3, =
ranging from Twisted Web's Agent and downloadPage, =
twisted.python.logfile, and many others, as well as...
- twistd is ported to Python 3, and its first plugin, web, is ported.
- twisted.python.url, a new URL/IRI abstraction, has been introduced to =
answer the question "just what IS a URL" in Twisted, once and for all.
- NPN and ALPN support has been added to Twisted's TLS implementation, =
paving the way for HTTP/2.
- Conch now supports the DH group14-sha1 and group-exchange-sha256 key =
exchange algorithms, as well as hmac-sha2-256 and hmac-sha2-512 MAC =
algorithms. Conch also works nicer with newer OpenSSH implementations.
- Twisted's IRC support now has a sendCommand() method, which enables =
the use of sending messages with tags.
- 55+ closed tickets overall.

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-15.5.0/NEWS>.

Also worth noting is the two Twisted Software Foundation fellows -- Adi =
Roiban and myself -- who have been able to dedicate time to reviewing =
tickets and generally pushing things along in the process. We're funded =
by the Twisted Software Foundation, which is, in turn, funded by =
donators and sponsors -- potentially like you! If you would like to know =
how you can assist in the continued funding of the Fellowship program, =
see our website: =

onsorship

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 "Hawkie" Brown
Twisted Release Manager, Twisted Fellow
