<h2 class="post-title">Libcloud 0.14.0-beta3 released</h2>
<span class="post-date-author">By Tomaz Muraus on Nov 21, 2013</span>
<div class="post-content">
<p>We are pleased to announce the release of Libcloud 0.14.0-beta3, a first
(beta) release in the 0.14.0 series.</p>
<p>The reason this is a beta and not a final release is that it includes some
pretty big changes (most notably the “region” argument change). I would
like those changes to get some more real-life testing before doing a final
release.</p>
<p>Being a first release in the 0.14.0 series means it brings many (and I mean
many!) new features, changes and improvements.</p>
<h3 id="release-highlights">Release highlights</h3>
<ul>
<li>To make working with providers which support multiple regions easier and
more user-friendly, some of the drivers have moved away from the “one
class per region” to a single class plus “region” argument model. Those
drivers include: EC2, Rackspace, ElasticHosts, Joyent, CloudFiles.</li>
<li>Addition of a programmatic way of updating the pricing file and ability
to use a custom pricing file. For more information, please see the
<a href="https://libcloud.readthedocs.org/en/latest/compute/pricing.html#using-a-custom-pricing-file">documentation</a></li>
<li>Addition of block storage management methods to the following drivers:
OpenNebula, OpenStack, EC2</li>
<li>Unification of the extension arguments for handling security groups in
the EC2 and OpenStack driver</li>
<li>Many new features and improvements in the CloudStack driver</li>
<li>New compute and loadbalancer driver for Google Compute Engine (GCE)</li>
<li>Ability to export Libcloud’s DNS zone to BIND zone format</li>
<li>and much more!</li>
</ul>
<p>Some of the changes noted above are also backward incompatible. For more
information on what has changed and how to update your code to work with
a new release, please visit the <a href="https://libcloud.readthedocs.org/en/latest/upgrade_notes.html#libcloud-0-14-0">Upgrade Notes</a> section in our
documentation.</p>

<ul>
<li>Tests now also run on travis-ci - <a href="https://travis-ci.org/apache/libcloud">https://travis-ci.org/apache/libcloud</a></li>
