  (GITHUB-533, LIBCLOUD-716)

- Fix a bug in consuming stdout and stderr strams in Paramiko SSH client.

  kicks in. In those cases, we will not have consumed the streams at all.
  (GITHUB-558)
  [Lakshmi Kannan]

Compute
~~~~~~~

- Google Compute now supports paginated lists including filtering.
  (GITHUB-491)
  [Lee Verberne]

  supported in OpenStack 2.1: `ephemeral_disk`, `swap`, `extra`.
  (GITHUB-488, LIBCLOUD-682)
  [Greg Hill]

- StorageVolume objects now have an attribute `state` that holds a
  state variable that is standardized state across drivers. Drivers that
  currently support the `state` attribute are OpenStack and EC2.
  StorageVolume objects returned by drivers that do not support the
  attribute will have a `state` of `None`. When a provider returns a state
  that is unknown to the driver, the state will be `UNKNOWN`. Please report
  such states. A couple of drivers already put state fields in the `extra`
  fields of StorageVolumes. These fields were kept for
  backwards-compatibility and for reference.
  (GITHUB-476)
  [Allard Hoeve]

- StorageVolume objects on EC2 and OpenStack now have a key called snapshot_id
  in their extra dicts containing the snapshot ID the volume was based on.
  (GITHUB-479)
  [Allard Hoeve]

- OpenStack driver: deprecated ex_create_snapshot and ex_delete_snapshot in
  favor of create_volume_snapshot and destroy_volume_snapshot. Updated base
  driver method create_storage_volume argument name to be optional.
  (GITHUB-478)
  [Allard Hoeve]

- Add support for creating volumes based on snapshots to EC2 and OS drivers.
  Also modify signature of base NodeDriver.create_volume to reflect the fact
  that all drivers expect a StorageSnapshot object as the snapshot argument.
  (GITHUB-467, LIBCLOUD-672)
  [Allard Hoeve]

- VolumeSnapshots now have a `created` attribute that is a `datetime`
  field showing the creation datetime of the snapshot. The field in
  VolumeSnapshot.extra containing the original string is maintained, so
  this is a backwards-compatible change.
  (GITHUB-473)
  [Allard Hoeve]

- Improve GCE create_node, make sure ex_get_disktype function
  (GITHUB-448)
  [Markos Gogoulos]

  (LIBCLOUD-641, GITHUB-477)

- Fix upload_object_via_stream so it works correctly under Python 3.x if user
  manually passes an iterator to the method.

  Also improve how reading a file in chunks works with drivers which support
