Tests & Requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scrapy's new requirements baseline is Debian 8 "Jessie". It was previously
Ubuntu 12.04 Precise.
What this means in practice is that we run continuous integration tests
with these (main) packages versions at a minimum:
Twisted 14.0, pyOpenSSL 0.14, lxml 3.4.
Scrapy may very well work with older versions of these packages
(the code base still has switches for older Twisted versions for example)
but it is not guaranteed (because it's not tested anymore).
