[Twisted-Python] Twisted 16.5.0rc2 Release Candidate Announcement

[Amber "Hawkie" Brown]

Hi everyone,

I've just cut Twisted 16.5.0rc2, the second RC of the 16.5.0 release series. It contains fixes for three bugs:

- Twisted Logger writing tracebacks in the middle of JSON-formatted logs
- `twisted.version`'s package changing case (which was fixed with making Incremental compare them lower cased)
- Comparing non-ASCII-subset Unicode strings in Trial on Python 2.7 failing with a UnicodeDecodeError.

You can get it by running `pip install Twisted==16.5.0rc2` or getting the tarball from https://twistedmatrix.com/Releases/rc/16.5.0rc2/. The full NEWS file is also available there, if you wish to read more details.

16.5.0 will be released sometime around Wednesday, provided no more serious bugs rear their head! Remember to test it with your applications, you'll get a virtual cookie if you do :)
