+author: Tomaz Muraus

+---
+
+We are happy to announce Libcloud v3.8.0.
+
+This release includes new features, improvements, and bug fixes.
+
+Highlights include:
+
+- Performance improvements in the storage drivers
+- Removal of 18 drivers for providers that are no longer active (they went
+ out of business, have been acquired, or similar).
+
+A list of all the changes can be found at
+<https://libcloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog.html#changes-in-apache-libcloud-3.8.0>.
+
+### Development-Related Changes (developers only)
+
+In addition to the end-user visible changes, we have made various changes to our
+development process and practices to better follow and align with modern
+Python development and packaging best practices.
+
+- Tooling (pylint, mypy, bandit, isort, black, etc.) config options have been
+ migrated into pyproject.yaml file.
+- Package setup and build-related metadata have been migrated from setup.py
+ and setup.cfg to pyproject.toml.
+- The unsafe "setup.py test" wrapper command has been removed in favor of
+ invoking pytest directly.
+- The "build" PyPi package is now used for creating release artifacts (sdist, wheel)
+ in an isolated virtual environment.
+
