Certbot 1.16.0 Release

[erica]

Certbot 1.16.0 has just been released. The changelog entry for the release is:

1.16.0 - 2021-06-01

Changed

• DNS plugins based on lexicon now require dns-lexicon >= v3.1.0
• Use UTF-8 encoding for renewal configuration files
• Windows installer now cleans up old Certbot dependency packages
  before installing the new ones to avoid version conflicts.
• This release contains a substantial command-line UX overhaul,
  based on previous user research. The main goal was to streamline
  and clarify output. If you would like to see more verbose output, use
  the -v or -vv flags. UX improvements are an iterative process and
  the Certbot team welcomes constructive feedback.
• Functions certbot.crypto_util.init_save_key and certbot.crypto_util.init_save_csr,
  whose behaviors rely on the global Certbot config singleton, are deprecated and will
  be removed in a future release. Please use certbot.crypto_util.generate_key and
  certbot.crypto_util.generate_csr instead.

Fixed

• Fix TypeError due to incompatibility with lexicon >= v3.6.0
• Installers (e.g. nginx, Apache) were being restarted unnecessarily after dry-run renewals.
• Colors and bold text should properly render in all supported versions of Windows.
