[Amber Hawkie Brown]

Hello everyone! Time for yet another Twisted release. What's new this time you may ask?

- More Python 3 porting, including twisted.mail.imap4, twisted.python.shortcut, twisted.python.rebuild, twisted.web.sux, twisted.web.microdom, and a ton of bugs and inconsistencies fixed.
- twistd on Python 3 now supports the dns, inetd, portforward, procmon, socks, and words plugins.
- HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 OPTIONS * request support in Twisted Web
- twist web now accepts the argument --add-header, which can be used to set things like HSTS headers without custom code
- Improvements to IMAP4 behaviour and several logic bugfixes
- Removal of outdated documentation and updates to make them work on Python 3
- Over 70 closed tickets overall.

You can get the tarball and the NEWS file at https://twistedmatrix.com/Releases/rc/17.9.0rc1/ , or you can try it out from PyPI:
