On behalf of Twisted Matrix Laboratories, I’m 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 Web’s 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 — please see 
<https://hynek.me/articles/apple-openssl-verification-surprises/> for more 
details.

You can find the downloads at <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Twisted> (or 
alternatively <http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/Downloads>). The NEWS file is 
also available at 
<https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/browser/tags/releases/twisted-14.0.1/NEWS?format=raw>.

Thanks for Alex Gaynor for discovering the bug, Glyph & Alex for developing a 
patch, and David Reid for reviewing it.

Twisted Regards,
HawkOwl
