Subject: [Certbot-dev] Certbot 1.7.0 Release
Message-ID: <72aabe3a-26ec-50a9-5909-be0a6a1057f4@eff.org>

Certbot 1.7.0 has just been released. The changelog entry for the 
release is:

## 1.7.0 - 2020-08-04

### Added

* Third-party plugins can be used without prefix (`plugin_name` instead 
of `dist_name:plugin_name`):
   this concerns the plugin name, CLI flags, and keys in credential files.
   The prefixed form is still supported but is deprecated, and will be 
removed in a future release.
* Added `--nginx-sleep-seconds` (default `1`) for environments where 
nginx takes a long time to reload.

### Changed

* The Linode DNS plugin now waits 120 seconds for DNS propagation, 
instead of 1200,
   due to https://www.linode.com/blog/linode/linode-turns-17/
* We deprecated support for Python 3.5 in Certbot and its ACME library.
   Support for Python 3.5 will be removed in the next major release of 
Certbot.
