+- An incompatibility of zope.interface version 3.6.4 with Nevow has
+  been resolved. Tahoe-LAFS now requires one of the exact versions
+  v3.3.1, v3.5.3, or v3.6.1 of zope.interface. (`#1435`_)
+- The Twisted dependency has been raised to version 10.1. This ensures
+  that we no longer require pywin32 on Windows, and that it is never
+  necessary to patch Twisted in order to use the FTP frontend.
