   An update that has one recommended fix can now be installed.

Description:


   python-Twisted has been updated to version 15.2.1, which brings several
   fixes and enhancements such as:

   - twisted.positioning, a new API for positioning systems such as GPS, has
     been added. It comes with an implementation of NMEA, the most common
     wire protocol for GPS devices. It will supersede twisted.protocols.gps.
   - IReactorUDP.listenUDP, IUDPTransport.write and IUDPTransport.connect now
     accept ipv6 address literals.
   - A new API, twisted.internet.ssl.optionsForClientTLS, allows clients to
     specify and verify the identity of the peer they're communicating with.
     When used with the service_identity library from PyPI, this provides
     support for service identity verification from RFC 6125, as well as
     server name indication from RFC 6066.
   - Twisted's TLS support now provides a way to ask for user-configured
     trust roots rather than having to manually configure such certificate
     authority certificates.
   - twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions now supports ECDHE for servers
     by default
     on pyOpenSSL 0.14 and later, if the underlying versions of
      cryptography.io and OpenSSL support it.
   - twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions now allows the user to set
     acceptable ciphers and uses secure ones by default.
   - The new package twisted.logger provides a new, fully tested, and
     feature-rich logging framework. The old module twisted.python.log is now
     implemented using the new framework.
   - twisted.conch.ssh.forwarding now supports local->remote forwarding of
     IPv6.
   - twisted.mail.smtp.sendmail now uses ESMTP. It will opportunistically
     enable encryption and allow the use of authentication.
   - twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions now enables TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2
     by default (in addition to TLSv1.0) if the underlying version of OpenSSL
     supports these protocol versions.
   - twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions now supports Diffie-Hellman key
     exchange.
   - twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions now disables TLS compression to
     avoid CRIME attacks and, for servers, uses server preference to choose
     the cipher.
   - MSN protocol support has been marked as deprecated.
   - Removed deprecated UDPClient.
   - Better support and integration with Python 3.
