[Twisted-Python] Twisted 18.7.0rc1 Release Candidate Announcement

[Amber Brown]

Hello everyone, from scenic Heathrow airport. It's time for another Twisted
release, and this one has got some goodies. Included in this release are:

- better support for async/await coroutines in regards to exception and
traceback handling;
- better support for reporting tracebacks in inlineCallbacks, now showing
what you would expect in synchronous-like code
- the epoll reactor now no longer hard-locks when running out of file
descriptors
- directory rendering in t.web works on Python 2 again
- manhole's colouriser is better at handling Unicode
- setting the groundwork for Python 3.7 support. Note that Python 3.7 is
currently not a supported platform on any operating system, and may
completely fail to install, especially on Windows.

You can get this hot, fresh Twisted for testing through PyPI:

pip install Twisted==18.7.0rc1

You can read the full changelog here:

Please do some testing, and if all goes well, 18.7 will release proper in a
week.
