improvements and new drivers, but the most important thing is a brand new
DNS API.</p>
<p>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 (

we also plan to expand it (hopefully with your help) and add new drivers
for providers such as Amazon and others.</p>

<ul>
<li>New documentation which is available at http://libcloud.apache.org/docs/</li>
