[Twisted-Python] Twisted 16.6.0rc1 Release Candidate Announcement

[Amber "Hawkie" Brown]

Hi everyone, here's a Twisted release to hopefully lift your spirits a little. It's not a big one, but it's got some goodies regardless.

It features:

- The ability to use "python -m twisted" to call the new `twist` runner,
- More reliable tests from a more reliable implementation of some things, like IOCP,
- Fixes for async/await & twisted.internet.defer.ensureDeferred, meaning it's getting closer to prime time!
- ECDSA support in Conch & ckeygen (which has also been ported to Python 3),
- Python 3 support for Words' IRC support and twisted.protocols.sip among some smaller modules,
- Some HTTP/2 server optimisations,
- and a few bugfixes to boot!

You can get the tarball and the NEWS file at https://twistedmatrix.com/Releases/rc/16.6.0rc1/ <https://twistedmatrix.com/Releases/rc/16.6.0rc1/> , or you can try it out from PyPI:

    python -m pip install Twisted==16.6.0rc1

Please test it, and let me know how your applications fare, good or bad! If nothing comes up, I will release 16.6.0 next week.

- Amber
