    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;We are happy to announce Libcloud v3.5.0.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This release includes new features, improvements and bug fixes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Highlights include:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Improvements to the OpenStack driver&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;New storage driver for Scaleway Object Storage&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Improvements to the HTTP requests retrying code&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A list of all the changes can be found at
&lt;a href=&quot;https://libcloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog.html#changes-in-apache-libcloud-3.5.0&quot;&gt;https://libcloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog.html#changes-in-apache-libcloud-3.5.0&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3 id=&quot;note-on-python-35-support&quot;&gt;Note on Python 3.5 support&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This release drops support for Python 3.5.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Python 3.5 has been EOL and non-supported for more than a year
(&lt;a href=&quot;https://endoflife.date/python&quot;&gt;https://endoflife.date/python&lt;/a&gt;) now and a lot of libraries (including some we
depend on) have already dropped support for it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Last release which still supports Python 3.5 is Libcloud v3.4.1.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3 id=&quot;note-on-code-style-change-developers-only&quot;&gt;Note on code style change (developers only)&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To make formating and styling in our code base more consistent, we have
re-formatted all the code with black (&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/psf/black&quot;&gt;https://github.com/psf/black&lt;/a&gt;) and we will
automatically enforce black code style (&lt;a href=&quot;https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/&quot;&gt;https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/&lt;/a&gt;)
for all the new code going forward.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This should make it easier to contribute and read the code since all the code
will be using the same style.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3 id=&quot;download&quot;&gt;Download&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The release can can be downloaded from
&lt;a href=&quot;https://libcloud.apache.org/downloads.html&quot;&gt;https://libcloud.apache.org/downloads.html&lt;/a&gt; or installed using pip:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;
pip install &quot;apache-libcloud==3.5.0&quot;
&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;h3 id=&quot;upgrading&quot;&gt;Upgrading&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you have installed Libcloud using pip you can also use it to upgrade it:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;
pip install --upgrade &quot;apache-libcloud==3.5.0&quot;
&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;h3 id=&quot;upgrade-notes&quot;&gt;Upgrade notes&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A page which describes backward incompatible or semi-incompatible
changes and how to preserve the old behavior when this is possible
can be found at &lt;a href=&quot;https://libcloud.readthedocs.org/en/latest/upgrade_notes.html&quot;&gt;https://libcloud.readthedocs.org/en/latest/upgrade_notes.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;We are happy to announce Libcloud v3.4.1.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is a bug fix release which fixes an installation bug that was inadvertently
introduced in v3.4.0.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3 id=&quot;note-on-python-35-support&quot;&gt;Note on Python 3.5 support&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Libcloud v3.4.x will be the last release series which still supports Python
3.5.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Python 3.5 has been EOL and non-supported for more than a year
(&lt;a href=&quot;https://endoflife.date/python&quot;&gt;https://endoflife.date/python&lt;/a&gt;) now and a lot of libraries (including some we
depend on) have already dropped support for it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3 id=&quot;note-on-code-style-change-developers-only&quot;&gt;Note on code style change (developers only)&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To make formating and styling in our code base more consistent, we have

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Please help us extend a warm welcome to our newest team member &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/micafer&quot;&gt;Miguel Caballer&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For anyone who would like to know more about Miguel here is his short bio:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And in his own words:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

    <title>Latest up to date provider pricing.json data file is now available in an S3 bucket</title>
    <link href="https://libcloud.apache.org/blog/2020/08/02/latest-provider-pricing-data-available-in-s3-bucket.html" />

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;More information on where to download it and how to use this file can be found in
&lt;a href=&quot;https://libcloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/compute/pricing.html#downloading-latest-pricing-data-from-an-s3-bucket&quot;&gt;our documentation&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;background-context&quot;&gt;Background, Context&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;thanks&quot;&gt;Thanks&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We would like to extend special thanks to &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/Eis-D-Z&quot;&gt;Eis D. Zaster&lt;/a&gt; who has
contributed new scraping scripts for multiple providers and also made
various improvements and fixes to the existing scraping scripts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In addition to that, we would like to thank &lt;a href=&quot;https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensource/aws-promotional-credits-open-source-projects/&quot;&gt;Amazon Web Services&lt;/a&gt; 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.&lt;/p&gt;
