Hello again,
since releasing software is so much fun, 0.15.1 is out on PyPI too.
It fixes a small regression that shouldn’t affect you in practice but
breaks the Twisted test suite.
See https://github.com/pyca/pyopenssl/pull/225 for details.
Brown baggily yours,

Greetings fellow Pythoneers,
I'm happy to announce that pyOpenSSL 0.15 is now available.
pyOpenSSL is a set of Python bindings for OpenSSL. It includes some
low-level cryptography APIs but is primarily focused on providing an
API for using the TLS protocol from Python.
Check out the PyPI page (<https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyOpenSSL>) for
downloads.
***
This is the last release under the stewardship of Jean-Paul Calderone
and the maintainership is now taken over by the Python Cryptography
Authority (PyCA) which has been developing the C-bindings for
pyOpenSSL for a while (aka cryptography).
We’d like to thank him for his great work over the past years and
hope to be able to keep moving the project into a direction that will
make him only slightly sad.

The highlights of this release include:
- Support to ECDHE,
- NPN and ALPN support,
- …many bug fixes!
It’s worth pointing out that OpenSSL functions generally work on
*byte strings* because they mirror OpenSSL APIs and OpenSSL is not
Unicode-aware. Passing Unicode strings tends to accidentally work due
do implicit decodes on Python 2 but they emit a DeprecationWarning
now. Please note that DeprecationWarnings are silenced by default on
Python 2.7.
See the ChangeLog at
<https://github.com/pyca/pyopenssl/blob/0.15/ChangeLog> for more
details!
On behalf of PyCA,
Hynek Schlawack
