<h2>Libcloud 3.0.0-rc1 released</h2>
<span class="post-date-author">By Tomaz Muraus on Jan 29, 2020</span>
<div class="post-content">
<p>We are happy to announce Libcloud v3.0.0-rc1.</p>
<p>This is the first release candidate for Libcloud v3.0.0 which includes many
changes, the biggest one being dropping support for Python 2.7 and
Python 3 &lt; 3.5.</p>
<p>Since this is a first release which drops support for those Python versions,
we want to give our users some time to opt-in and test it and verify
everything works as expected, before we produce a stable v3.0.0 release.</p>
<p>Other highlights include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Type annotations for the base storage API</li>
<li>Various improvements in the Azure Blobs driver</li>
<li>New standard “prefix” keyword argument in the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">{list,iterate}_container_objects</code>
methods</li>
<li>2 new compute drivers (KubeVirt, LXD)</li>
</ul>
<p>If no major issues are found, this release candidate (with any other fixes
which accumulate in trunk until then) will become a stable v3.0.0 release
some time in the near future.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that this is a pre-release so it won’t be installed by pip
by default when you run <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">pip install apache-libcloud</code>.</p>
<p>To install it, you need to explicitly specify a version as shown in the
Download section below.</p>
