Scrapy 1.3.0 (2016-12-XX)
-------------------------
This release comes rather soon after 1.2.2 for one main reason:
it was found out that releases since 0.18 up to 1.2.2 (included) use
some backported code from Twisted, even if newer Twisted modules are available.
Scrapy now uses ``twisted.web.client`` and ``twisted.internet.endpoints`` directly.
As it is a major change, we wanted to get the bug fix out quickly
while not breaking any projects using the 1.2 series.
