[Twisted-Python] Twisted 16.2.0pre1 Release Announcement

[Amber "Hawkie" Brown]

Hi everyone! Time for another Twisted prerelease!

Our release cadence stays steady, and this prerelease should bring some new nice features! The highlights include:

- twisted.protocols.haproxy.proxyEndpoint, a wrapper endpoint that gives some extra information to the wrapped protocols passed by haproxy;
- Migration of twistd and other twisted.application.app users to the new logging system (twisted.logger);
- Porting of parts of Twisted Names' server to Python 3;
- The removal of the very old MSN client code and the deprecation of the unmaintained ICQ/OSCAR client code;
- More cleanups in Conch in preparation for a Python 3 port and cleanups in HTTP code in preparation for HTTP/2 support;
- Over thirty tickets overall closed since 16.1.

For more information, check the NEWS file (link provided below).

As usual, it's available for download -- go here (https://twistedmatrix.com/Releases/pre/16.2.0pre1/) to get the prerelease tarballs and the full NEWS file.

Please let me know if you have any issues, as well as if you don't! If everything works well, that's a good thing for me to know :)

Twisted Regards,
Amber Brown (HawkOwl)
