Hooray!!!!  This release is a pretty big deal.  This new logging system has been in development for a long time, and the availability of twisted.internet.process on py3 is a pretty big new chunk of twisted.core to be available.

Thank you very much, Amber, for helping us get out timely releases on such a consistent basis.

Reminder, everyone, that you have a week from this announcement to test your software against the pre-release and test any regressions!

(Thanks also to my employer, Rackspace, for giving me the time to review many of these tickets.)
