| <h3 id="note-on-python-35-support">Note on Python 3.5 support</h3> |
| |
| <p>This release drops support for Python 3.5.</p> |

| <p>Python 3.5 has been EOL and non-supported for more than a year |
| (<a href="https://endoflife.date/python">https://endoflife.date/python</a>) now and a lot of libraries (including some we |

| |
| <p>Last release which still supports Python 3.5 is Libcloud v3.4.1.</p> |
| |
| <h3 id="note-on-code-style-change-developers-only">Note on code style change (developers only)</h3> |
| |
| <p>To make formating and styling in our code base more consistent, we have |

| automatically enforce black code style (<a href="https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/">https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/</a>) |

| |
| <p>This should make it easier to contribute and read the code since all the code |

| <content type="html"><p>We are happy to announce Libcloud v3.4.1.</p> |
| |
| <p>This is a bug fix release which fixes an installation bug that was inadvertently |
| introduced in v3.4.0.</p> |
| |
| <p>That bug broke installation under Python 3.5 and it also prevented Libcloud |
| from being installed inside the same (virtual) environment where older version |
| of the requests library was already installed or where some other dependency |
| depends on older version of the requests library.</p> |
| |
| <h3 id="note-on-python-35-support">Note on Python 3.5 support</h3> |
| |
| <p>Libcloud v3.4.x will be the last release series which still supports Python |

| (<a href="https://endoflife.date/python">https://endoflife.date/python</a>) now and a lot of libraries (including some we |
| depend on) have already dropped support for it.</p> |
| |
| <p>This is making it increasingly hard for us to still support Python 3.5 since |
| it requires a bunch of edge cases in workarounds in our code and build system.</p> |

| <content type="html"><p>Please help us extend a warm welcome to our newest team member <a href="https://github.com/micafer">Miguel Caballer</a>!</p> |
| |
| <p>The Project Management Committee (PMC) for Apache Libcloud has invited Miguel |
| Caballer to join us as a committer and we are pleased to announce that he |
| has accepted.</p> |
| |
| <p>Miguel has been part of the Libcloud community for many years now and during |
| his participation he made various contributions to the project, majority of |
| them focusing on our OpenStack drivers.</p> |
| |
| <p>For anyone who would like to know more about Miguel here is his short bio:</p> |
| |
| <blockquote> |
| <p>Miguel Caballer is part of the Grid and High Performance Computing group of |
| UPV since 2001. He is the lead developer of the Infrastructure Manager (IM), |
| a tool that deploys complex and customized virtual infrastructures on IaaS |
| Cloud deployments. He has participated in different research projects about |
| the application of Grid and Cloud computing techniques to several areas of |
| engineering. Other fields of interest include green computing.</p> |
| </blockquote> |
| |
| <p>And in his own words:</p> |
| |
| <blockquote> |
| <p>When I start the development of the IM (in python) I found that Libcloud was |
| the best option to connect with different cloud back-ends using a single |
| library and using the same basic set of functions calls. It has improved a |
| lot in the last years adding extra functionality for each connector that makes |
| it a really good alternative to native libraries. My main contributions has been |
| mainly related with the OpenStack driver, one of the most user cloud providers |
| by the IM tool. I’m very proud to be an Apache Libcloud team member and I will |
| continue with my contributions.</p> |

| <content type="html"><p>Recently we added a new job to our CI / CD which runs daily and retrieves latest |
| pricing data for various providers and publishes pricing.json file which can be |
| used by Libcloud to a public read-only S3 bucket.</p> |
| |
| <p>More information on where to download it and how to use this file can be found in |
| <a href="https://libcloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/compute/pricing.html#downloading-latest-pricing-data-from-an-s3-bucket">our documentation</a>.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="background-context">Background, Context</h2> |
| |
| <p>In the past, we ran the script which updates pricing.json file which is bundled |
| with each Libcloud release just before publishing a new release.</p> |
| |
| <p>The problem is that the pricing data can change often, so updating it only once |
| every couple of months as part of a Libcloud release is not sufficient.</p> |
| |
| <p>To solve for that problem, we now update and publish pricing.json file which |
| includes latest retrieved pricing data for various providers on a daily basis.</p> |
| |
| <p>It’s worth noting that we can’t guarantee 100% accuracy of this data so you |
| should only use this data as estimate and you should never rely solely on |
| Libcloud pricing data.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="thanks">Thanks</h2> |
| |
| <p>We would like to extend special thanks to <a href="https://github.com/Eis-D-Z">Eis D. Zaster</a> who has |
| contributed new scraping scripts for multiple providers and also made |
| various improvements and fixes to the existing scraping scripts.</p> |
| |
| <p>In addition to that, we would like to thank <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensource/aws-promotional-credits-open-source-projects/">Amazon Web Services</a> which |
| granted us free credits for their EC2 and S3 service which we plan to use |
| for hosting this pricing file, end to end tests and more.</p> |
