This is a voting thread for Libcloud 0.14.0-beta3. This release includes same changes as 0.14.0-beta1 and 0.14.0-beta2 with addition of some new changes and bug fixes. Most notably, it fixes OpenStack based driver to correctly handle expiration of the auth token (LIBCLOUD-428).
The reason this is a beta and not a final release is that it includes some relatively big changes. I would like those changes to get some more real-life testing before doing a final release. This release includes many new features, improvements and some backward incompatible changes. Release highlights: - To make working with providers which support multiple regions easier and more user-friendly, some of the drivers have moved from "one class per region" to a single class plus "region" argument model. Those drivers include: EC2, Rackspace, ElasticHosts, Joyent, CloudFiles - Programmatic way of updating pricing file and ability to specify a custom pricing file. - Addition of block storage management methods to the following drivers: OpenNebula, OpenStack, EC2 - Unification of extension arguments for handling security groups in the EC2 and OpenStack driver - Many new features and improvements in the CloudStack driver - New compute and loadbalancer driver for Google Compute Engine (GCE) - Ability to export Libcloud's DNS zone to BIND zone format - and much more! Other non-code changes worth a mention: - Tests now also run on travis-ci - https://travis-ci.org/apache/libcloud - Mirror of the new documentation is now also available on RTD - https://libcloud.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ As noted above, some of the changes are backward incompatible. Information on how those changes affect existing users and how to update your code to make it work with this release can be found in the "Upgrade Notes" section in the documentation - https://libcloud.readthedocs.org/en/latest/upgrade_notes.html#libcloud-0-14-0 If everything goes according to plan, 0.14.x will also be the last major release before Libcloud 1.0.0.
