On behalf of Twisted Matrix Laboratories, I am honoured to announce the release 
of Twisted 16.4.0.

The highlights of this release are:

- twist, a new command line tool for running Twisted plugins, similar to twistd 
but with a simpler, cleaner interface.
- A new interface for Protocols, IHandshakeListener, which tells Twisted to 
tell the Protocol when the TLS handshake has been completed.
- async/await support for Deferreds, allowing you to write Python 3.5+ 
coroutines using Twisted
- Trial can be invoked with "python -m twisted.trial".
- All Twisted executables (trial, twistd, etc) are now Setuptools console 
scripts, meaning they will work much better on Windows.
- 35+ more modules ported to Python 3, and many many cleanups on the way to 
Python 3 on Windows support.
- All the security fixes of Twisted 16.3.1 + 16.3.2 (httpoxy, HTTP session 
identifier strengthening, HTTP+TLS consuming sockets)
- 240+ closed tickets overall.

Many thanks to everyone who had a part in this release - the supporters of the 
Twisted Software Foundation, the developers who contributed code as well as 
documentation, and all the people building great things with Twisted!

Twisted Regards,
Amber Brown (HawkOwl)

PS: Twisted 16.4.1 will be coming soon after this with a patch mitigating 
SWEET32, by updating the acceptable cipher list.
