Libcloud team is pleased to announce the release of Libcloud 0.6.1!
This release represents a big milestone for us and includes many improvements and new drivers, but the most important thing is a brand new DNS API.
DNS API allows users to manage DNS service provided by many different providers. This release includes a driver for Linode DNS ( http://www.linode.com/features.cfm), Zerigo DNS (http://www.zerigo.com/) and Rackspace Cloud DNS ( http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/cloud_hosting_products/dns/). In the future we also plan to expand it (hopefully with your help) and add new drivers for providers such as Amazon and others.
Other notable changes, bug-fixes and improvements:
