Release notes
Highlights of the 185 tickets closed include:
* The poll reactor as default where applicable, instead of select
everywhere.
* A new SSL implementation only relying on OpenSSL for cryptography,
(not I/O) making it more robust.
* Several improvements to the fresh HTTP/1.1 client implementation,
including proxy and cookie support.
* My personal favorite: a new howto has been published on test-driven
development with Twisted.
* A special mention to the new abortConnection support on TCP and SSL
connections, heroically pushed by Itamar and Jean-Paul, and the
oldest ticket closed by this release.
This is the last release supporting Python 2.4 (the support on Windows stopped with 11.0).

Bugfixes
--------
- The IOCP reactor now does not try to erroneously pause non-
streaming producers. (#745)
- Unicode print statements no longer blow up when using Twisted's
logging system. (#1990)
- Process transports on Windows now support the `writeToChild` method
(but only for stdin). (#2838)
- Zsh tab-completion of Twisted commands no longer relies on
statically generated files, but instead generates results on-the-
fly - ensuring accurate tab-completion for the version of Twisted
actually in use. (#3078)
- LogPublishers don't use the global log publisher for reporting
broken observers anymore. (#3307)

when running as root or on Windows. mktap, tapconvert, and

Features
--------
- Add linux inotify support, allowing monitoring of file system

- Deferreds now support cancellation. (#990)
- Added new "endpoint" interfaces in twisted.
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.
Notably, client endpoints' connect() methods return cancellable
Deferreds, so code written to use them can bypass the awkward

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). (#3462)
- 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. (#4130)

Fixes
-----

#1219)
- A case where the SMTP client could skip some recipients when retrying

correctly by the IMAP4 server protocol (#3659)

of fixes that allow it to work better with the Python codecs system, and to
actually work (#3663)

that the lexical sorting of messages matches the order in which they were
received (#3812)
