* The CLI tools now use the Twisted-based library exclusively.
* The blocking-flavor "Transit" library has been removed. Transit is the
bulk-transfer protocol used by send-file/send-directory, and is no
longer used by the CLI tools (which have switched to twisted-flavor

servers).
* Packaging: magic-wormhole now depends upon "Twisted" and "autobahn".
Autobahn pulls in txaio (a future version of magic-wormhole may work
with txaio, but not yet). To work around a bug in autobahn, it also
(temporarily) depends upon "pytrie". This dependency will be removed
when the next autobahn release is available.

Compatibility:
* This release remains compatible with the previous ones. The next major
release (0.8.x) will probably break compatibility.
