[Certbot-dev] Certbot 0.27.0

[Erica Portnoy]

Certbot 0.27.0 has been released. The change log for the release is:

## 0.27.0 - 2018-09-05

### Added

* The Apache plugin now accepts the parameter --apache-ctl which can be
  used to configure the path to the Apache control script.

### Changed

* When using `acme.client.ClientV2` (or
 `acme.client.BackwardsCompatibleClientV2` with an ACME server that
supports a
 newer version of the ACME protocol), an `acme.errors.ConflictError` will be
 raised if you try to create an ACME account with a key that has already
been
 used. Previously, a JSON parsing error was raised in this scenario when
using
 the library with Let's Encrypt's ACMEv2 endpoint.

### Fixed

* When Apache is not installed, Certbot's Apache plugin no longer prints
  messages about being unable to find apachectl to the terminal when the
plugin
  is not selected.
* If you're using the Apache plugin with the --apache-vhost-root flag
set to a
  directory containing a disabled virtual host for the domain you're
requesting
  a certificate for, the virtual host will now be temporarily enabled if
  necessary to pass the HTTP challenge.
* The documentation for the Certbot package can now be built using
Sphinx 1.6+.
* You can now call `query_registration` without having to first call
  `new_account` on `acme.client.ClientV2` objects.
* The requirement of `setuptools>=1.0` has been removed from
`certbot-dns-ovh`.
* Names in certbot-dns-sakuracloud's tests have been updated to refer to
Sakura
  Cloud rather than NS1 whose plugin certbot-dns-sakuracloud was based on.

Despite us having broken lockstep, we are continuing to release new
versions of
all Certbot components during releases for the time being, however, the only
package with changes other than its version number was:

* acme
* certbot
* certbot-apache
* certbot-dns-ovh
* certbot-dns-sakuracloud
