Something perhaps not obvious from the release notes:

String endpoint descriptions, as used by twist/twistd among other things,
for listening on tcp ports now require the "tcp:": that is, "80" is no
longer accepted, you need to use "tcp:80".

This functionality has been deprecated for a while, but as it is unlikely
that many people run twist/twistd with DeprecationWarnings enabled, most
people relying on this behaviour have unfortunately probably never seen the
warning.
