+Buildbot now requires python-2.3 or later. Buildbot now requires
+Twisted-2.0.0 or later. Support for earlier versions of both has finally been
+removed. If you discover it works with unsupported versions, please return

+Buildbot has *not* yet been tested against the recent python-2.5 release. It
+has been tested against the latest SVN version of Twisted, but only in
