   <div class="post-content">
     <p>We are pleased to announce a long awaited Libcloud 0.14.0 release.</p>

 <p>This is a first release in the 0.14 series which 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
 https://libcloud.readthedocs.org/en/latest/compute/pricing.html#using-a-custom-pricing-file</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>New standard compute API for SSH key-pair management</li>
   <li>Many new features and improvements in the CloudStack driver</li>
   <li>New compute and load balancer 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>
