On behalf of Twisted Matrix Laboratories, I am honoured to announce the
release of Twisted 19.2! The highlights of this release are:
* twisted.web.client.HostnameCachingHTTPSPolicy was added as a new
contextFactory option. This reduces the performance overhead for
making many TLS connections to the same host.
* twisted.conch.ssh.keys can now read private keys in the new
"openssh-key-v1" format, introduced in OpenSSH 6.5 and made the
default in OpenSSH 7.8.
* The sample code in the "Twisted Web In 60 Seconds" tutorial runs on
Python 3.
* DeferredLock and DeferredSemaphore can be used as asynchronous
context managers on Python 3.5+.
* twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions now uses 32 random bytes
instead of an MD5 hash for the ssl session identifier context.
* twisted.python.failure.Failure.getTracebackObject now returns
traceback objects whose frames can be passed into
traceback.print_stack for better debugging of where the exception
came from.
* Much more! 20+ tickets closed 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

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 Brown (HawkOwl)
