<h3 id="note-on-python-35-support">Note on Python 3.5 support</h3>
<p>Python 3.5 support has been dropped in Libcloud v3.5.0.</p>
<p>Python 3.5 has been EOL and non-supported for more than a year now
(<a href="https://endoflife.date/python">https://endoflife.date/python</a>) and a lot of libraries (including some we
depend on) have already dropped support for it.</p>
<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
re-formatted all the code with black (<a href="https://github.com/psf/black">https://github.com/psf/black</a>) and we will
automatically enforce black code style (<a href="https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/">https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/</a>)
for all the new code going forward.</p>
<p>This should make it easier to contribute and read the code since all the code
will be using the same style.</p>
<h3 id="download">Download</h3>
