Bugzilla Bug 110388

2.1.0 (October 9, 2005): 
 
Features 
-------- 
 - threadedselectreactor, a reactor which potentially makes 
   integration with foreign event loops much simpler. 
 - major improvements to twisted.conch.insults, including many new widgets. 
 - adbapi ConnectionPools now have 'runWithConnection' which is 
   similar to runInteraction but gives you a connection object instead of 
   a transaction. [975] 
 - __file__ is now usable in tac files 
 - twisted.cred.pamauth now contains a PAM checker (moved from twisted.conch) 
 - twisted.protocols.policies.LimitTotalConnectionsFactory now exists, 
   which does as the name suggests 
 - twisted.protocols.ident now uses /proc/net/tcp on Linux [233] 
 - trial now recurses packages by default (a la the old -R parameter) 
 - (PB) Calling a remote method that doesn't exist now raises 
   NoSuchMethod instead of AttributeError. 
 
Fixes 
----- 
 - FTP client and server improvements 
 - Trial improvements: The code is now much simpler, and more stable. 
 - twisted.protocols.basic.FileSender now works with empty files  
 - Twisted should now be much more usable on Pythons without thread support. 
 - minor improvements to process code in win32eventreactor 
 - twistd -y (--python) now implies -o (--nosave). [539] 
 - improved lockfile handling especially with respect to unix sockets. 
 - deferredGenerator now no longer overuses the stack, which sometimes 
   caused stack overflows. 
 - Failure.raiseException now at least always raises the correct Exception. 
 - minor improvements to serialport code 
 
Deprecations 
------------ 
 - twisted.python.componts.getAdapter. Use IFoo(o) instead. 
 - Adapter persistence (IFoo(x, persist=True)). Just don't use it. 
 - log.debug. It was equivalent to log.msg(), just use that. 
 - twisted.protocols.telnet. twisted.conch.telnet replaces it. 
 - Setting a trial reporter using a flag to 'trial'. Instead of 'trial 
   --bwverbose', for example, use 'trial --reporter=bwverbose'. 
 - trial --coverage will become a flag in Twisted 2.2. 
 - passing a fully-qualified python name to --reporter is 
   deprecated. Pass only names of Reporter plugins. 
 - trial --psyco. 
 - trial -R (--recurse) is now the default, so passing it is deprecated. 
 - trial --reporter-args. Use the plugin system to do this sort of thing. 
 - trial.assertions.assertionMethod and trial.unittest.assertionMethod 
   are both deprecated. Use instance methods on TestCases instead. 
 - trial's deferredResult, deferredError, and wait functions. Return 
   Deferreds from your test methods instead of using them. 
 - Raising unittest.SkipTest with no arguments. Give a reason for your skip. 
 - The Failure returned from a gatherResults and DeferredList is now 
   of type FirstError instead of a tuple of (Exception, index). It 
   supports a firstError[idx] syntax but that is deprecated. Use 
   firstError.subFailure and firstError.index instead. 
 - whenThreaded now simply calls the passed function synchronously.

it would be much more useful if there was actually some information on whether
the current ebuild works 
or what needs to be changed.

Yes current ebuild works, but source uri will need to be changed to :
SRC_URI="http://tmrc.mit.edu/mirror/twisted/${MY_PN}/2.1/${MY_P}.tar.bz2"

I don't know *how* I managed post that ebuild here when I was in the 2.0.1 thread!

Just committed twisted-2.1.0. Closing.
