On behalf of Twisted Matrix Laboratories, Iâm releasing Twisted
14.0.1, a security release for Twisted 14.0. It is strongly suggested
that users of 14.0.0 upgrade to this release.
This patches a bug in Twisted Webâs Agent, where BrowserLikePolicyForHTTPS
would not honour the trust root given, and would use the system
trust root instead. This would have broken, for example, attempting
to pin the issuer for your HTTPS application because you only trust
one issuer.
Note: on OS X, with the system OpenSSL, you still can't fully rely
on this API for issuer pinning, due to modifications by Apple â
please see https://hynek.me/articles/apple-openssl-verification-surprises/
for more details.
Some parts are ported to python-3, but most parts not, so leave
it disabled for now.
Twisted Core 14.0.0 (2014-05-08)
================================
Features
--------
- twisted.internet.interfaces.IUDPTransport - and that interface's
implementations in Twisted - now supports enabling broadcasting.
(#454)
- trial's TestCase will now report a test method as an error if that
test method is a generator function, preventing an issue when a
user forgets to decorate a test method with defer.inlineCallbacks,
causing the test method to not run. (#3917)
- twisted.positioning, a new API for positioning systems such as GPS,
has been added. It comes with an implementation of NMEA, the most
common wire protocol for GPS devices. It will supersede
twisted.protoocols.gps. (#3926)
- The new interface twisted.internet.interfaces.IStreamClientEndpoint
StringParserWithReactor will supply the reactor to its
parseStreamClient method, passed along from
twisted.internet.endpoints.clientFromString. (#5069)
- IReactorUDP.listenUDP, IUDPTransport.write and
IUDPTransport.connect now accept ipv6 address literals. (#5086)
- A new API, twisted.internet.ssl.optionsForClientTLS, allows clients
to specify and verify the identity of the peer they're communicating
with. When used with the service_identity library from PyPI, this
provides support for service identity verification from RFC 6125, as
well as server name indication from RFC 6066. (#5190)
- Twisted's TLS support now provides a way to ask for user-configured
trust roots rather than having to manually configure such
certificate authority certificates yourself.
twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions now accepts a new argument,
trustRoot, which combines verification flags and trust sources, as
well as a new function that provides a value for that argument,
twisted.internet.ssl.platformTrust, which allows using the trusted
platform certificate authorities from OpenSSL for certificate
verification. (#5446)
- Constants are now comparable/orderable based on the order in which
they are defined. (#6523)
- "setup.py install" and "pip install" now work on Python 3.3,
installing the subset of Twisted that has been ported to Python 3.
(#6539)
- twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions now supports ECDHE for
servers by default on pyOpenSSL 0.14 and later, if the underlying
versions of cryptography.io and OpenSSL support it. (#6586)
- twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions now allows the user to set
acceptable ciphers and uses secure ones by default. (#6663)
- The Deferred returned by
twisted.internet.defer.DeferredFilesystemLock.deferUntilLocked can
now be cancelled. (#6720)
- twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions now enables TLSv1.1 and
TLSv1.2 by default (in addition to TLSv1.0) if the underlying
version of OpenSSL supports these protocol versions. (#6772)
- twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions now supports Diffie-Hellman
key exchange. (#6799)
- twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions now disables TLS
compression to avoid CRIME attacks and, for servers, uses server
preference to choose the cipher. (#6801)
- SSL server endpoint string descriptions now support the
specification of Diffie-Hellman key exchange parameter files.
(#6924)
- twisted.python.reflect.requireModule was added to handle
conditional imports of python modules and work around pyflakes
warnings of unused imports code. (#7014)
Bugfixes
--------
- If a ProcessProtocol.processExited method raised an exception a
broken process handler would be left in the global process state
leading to errors later on. This has been fixed and now an error
will be logged instead. (#5151)
- Twisted now builds on Solaris. Note that lacking a Buildbot slave
(see http://buildbot.twistedmatrix.com/boxes-supported) Solaris is
not a supported Twisted platform. (#5728)
- twisted.internet.utils is now correctly installed on Python 3.
(#6929)
- twisted.python.threadpool.ThreadPool no longer starts new workers
when its pool size is changed while the pool is not running.
(#7011)
Improved Documentation
----------------------
- Twisted now uses the Sphinx documentation generator for its
narrative documentation, which means that the source format for
narrative documentation has been converted to ReStructuredText.
(#4500)
- The Sphinx documentation is now also configured to allow
intersphinx links to standard library documentation. (#4582)
- The docstring for twisted.internet.task.react now better documents
the main parameter (#6071)
- The writing standard now explicitly mandates the usage of
ungendered pronouns. (#6858)
Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------
- test_import.py was removed as it was redundant. (#2053)
- Support for versions of pyOpenSSL older than 0.10 has been removed.
Affected users should upgrade pyOpenSSL. (#5014)
- twisted.internet.interfaces.IStreamClientEndpointStringParser is
now deprecated in favor of twisted.internet.interfaces.IStreamClien
tEndpointStringParserWithReactor. (#5069)
- unsignedID and setIDFunction, previously part of
twisted.python.util and deprecated since 13.0, have now been
removed. (#6707)
- FTPClient.changeDirectory was deprecated in 8.2 and is now removed.
(#6759)
- twisted.internet.stdio.StandardIO.closeStdin, an alias for
loseWriteConnection only available on POSIX and deprecated since
2.1, has been removed. (#6785)
- twisted.python.reflect.getcurrent is now deprecated and must not be
used. twisted.python.reflect.isinst is now deprecated in favor of
the built-in isinstance. (#6859)

Twisted Names 14.0.0 (2014-05-08)
=================================
Features
--------
- twisted.names.root.Resolver now accepts a resolverFactory argument,
which makes it possible to control how root.Resolver performs
iterative queries to authoritative nameservers. (#6095)
- twisted.names.dns.Message now has a repr method which shows only
those instance flags, fields and sections which are set to non-
default values. (#6847)
- twisted.names.dns.Message now support rich comparison. (#6848)
Bugfixes
--------
- twisted.names.server.DNSServerFactory now responds with messages
whose flags and fields are reset to their default values instead of
copying these from the request. This means that AD and CD flags,
and EDNS OPT records in the request are no longer mirrored back to
the client. (#6645)
Improved Documentation

===============================
Features
--------
- twisted.web.http.proxiedLogFormatter can now be used with
twisted.web.http.HTTPFactory (and subclasses) to record X
-Forwarded-For values to the access log when the HTTP server is
deployed behind a reverse proxy. (#1468)
- twisted.web.client.Agent now uses
twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions for SSL/TLS and benefits
from its continuous improvements. (#6893)
Bugfixes
--------
- twisted.web.client.Agent now correctly manage flow-control on
pooled connections, and therefore requests will no longer hang
sometimes when deliverBody is not called synchronously within the
callback on Request. (#6751)
- twisted.web.client.Agent now verifies that the provided server
certificate in a TLS connection is trusted by the platform. (#7042)
- When requesting an HTTPS URL with twisted.web.client.Agent, the
hostname of the presented certificate will be checked against the
requested hostname; mismatches will now result in an error rather
than a man-in-the-middle opportunity for attackers. This may break
existing code that incorrectly depended on insecure behavior, but
such code was erroneous and should be updated. (#4888)

compile warnings.
- The GTK2 reactor is now more responsive on Windows.
- TLS transports now correctly handle producer registration after the
connection has been lost.
- twisted.protocols.htb.Bucket now empties properly with a non-zero
drip rate.
- IReactorSSL and ITCPTransport.startTLS now synchronously propagate
errors from the getContext method of context factories, instead of
being capturing them and logging them as unhandled.
Improved Documentation
----------------------
- The multicast documentation has been expanded.
- twisted.internet.defer.Deferred now documents more return values.
- Show a better starting page at
http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current
Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------
- Remove the deprecated module twisted.enterprise.reflector.
- Removed the deprecated module twisted.enterprise.row.
- Remove the deprecated module twisted.enterprise.sqlreflector.
- Removed the deprecated module twisted.enterprise.util, as well as
twisted.enterprise.adbapi.safe.
- Python 2.4 is no longer supported on any platform.
- Removed printTraceback and noOperation from twisted.spread.pb,
deprecated since Twisted 8.2.
* Add linux inotify support, allowing monitoring of file system
events.
* Deferreds now support cancellation.
* Added new "endpoint" interfaces in twisted.internet.interfaces,
which abstractly describe stream transport endpoints which can be
listened on or connected to. Implementations for TCP and SSL
clients and servers are present in twisted.internet.endpoints.
Notably, client endpoints' connect() methods return cancellable
Deferreds, so code written to use them can bypass the awkward
"ClientFactory.clientConnectionFailed" and
"Connector.stopConnecting" methods, and handle errbacks from or
cancel the returned deferred, respectively.
* twisted.protocols.amp.Integer's documentation now clarifies that
integers of arbitrary size are supported and that the wire format
is a base-10 representation.
* twisted.protocols.amp now includes support for transferring
timestamps (amp.DateTime) and decimal values (amp.Decimal).
* twisted.protocol.ftp.IWriteFile now has a close() method, which can
return a Deferred. Previously a STOR command would finish
immediately upon the receipt of the last byte of the uploaded file.
With close(), the backend can delay the finish until it has
performed some other slow action (like storing the data to a
virtual filesystem).
* FilePath now calls os.stat() only when new status information is
required, rather than immediately when anything changes. For some
applications this may result in fewer stat() calls. Additionally,
FilePath has a new method, 'changed', which applications may use to
indicate that the FilePath may have been changed on disk and
therefore the next status information request must fetch a new
stat result. This is useful if external systems, such as C
libraries, may have changed files that Twisted applications are
referencing via a FilePath.
* Documentation improvements are now summarized in the NEWS file.
* twisted.internet.task.deferLater now returns a cancellable
Deferred.
* The connect methods of twisted.internet.protocol.ClientCreator now
return cancellable Deferreds.
* twisted.spread.pb now has documentation covering some of its
limitations.
* twisted.spread.jelly now supports jellying and unjellying classes
defined with slots if they also implement __getstate__ and
__setstate__.
* twisted.protocols.amp.ListOf arguments can now be specified as
optional.
* Bugfixes

Pkgsrc changes:
* set LICENSE to mit
* add handling of plugin cache file
Upstream changes:
from 8.1.0 to 10.0.0 is too long to put here.
please refer: http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/browser/trunk/NEWS
pkgsrc changes:
- Move more definitions to Makefile.common, drop some that had default values.
- Depend on py-OpenSSL and py-ZopeInterface.
- Add do-test target.
- Remove patch-aa and install all bin/ script with plain names, not with
${PYVERSSUFFIX} appended. setup.py is now much, much simpler, and rewriting
the patch would be difficult. It doesn't matter anyway, as I tried really
hard to install py-OpenSSL for both python24 and python25 and it just
doesn't work.
patch provided by Michal Pasternak in PR pkg/25705
changes:
- Address objects for IPv4 and Unix addresses throughout twisted.internet.
- Improved connected UDP APIs.
- Refactored SSH client support.
- Initial implementation of Windows I/O Completion Ports event loop.
- Bug fixes and feature enhancements.
- Nevow support for Lore (so your Lore documents can use Nevow directives).
- This is the last release before Twisted begins splitting up.

Twisted is a framework, written in Python, for writing networked applications.
It includes implementations of a number of commonly used network services such
as a web server, an IRC chat server, a mail server, a relational database
interface and an object broker. Developers can build applications using all of
these services as well as custom services that they write themselves. Twisted
also includes a user authentication system that controls access to services
and provides services with user context information to implement their own
security models.
