Hi everyone,

Since this particular detail was in the middle of Jean-Paul's release 
announcement, I feel like it's important to draw attention to it.

The new pyOpenSSL v0.14 is a substantial rewrite of all of pyOpenSSL's bindings 
to OpenSSL: while this rewrite should be a vast improvement, because eliminates 
lots of error-prone hand-written C code, replacing it with much smaller, much 
safer declarative C bindings via cffi, it also means that things are different 
now.

Different means “possibly broken” so please test any Twisted applications that 
use TLS with this pre-release.

Sorry for all the bold text and capital letters, but this is both a big change 
and also a change to a particularly security-sensitive area of the Twisted 
stack.  If there were ever a change that you should really test before it's 
marked as “final release”, this is it.
