     <p>Hi all,</p>

 <p>I just wanted to let everyone know that the Libcloud PMC has decided to
 invite a new committer - Hutson Betts (hbetts).</p>

 <p>He has previously mostly contributed to the OpenNebula driver and the
 networking API.</p>

 <p>We believe that granting him the committer status will allow him to more
 easily and directly contribute to the project.</p>

 <p>Please help us welcome him!</p>

   <div class="post-content">
     <p>Libcloud team is pleased to announce the release of Libcloud 0.6.2!</p>

 <p>This is primary a bug-fix release and includes the following bug-fixes:</p>

 <ul>
   <li>Fix the PollingConnection class and actually use the poll_interval class
 variable (previously it was ignored). This bug-fix affects Rackspace Cloud
 DNS driver, CloudStack and Ninefold compute driver.</li>
   <li>Fix a bug in the Rackspace Cloud DNS driver exception handling and throw
 an Exception if an unexpected status code is returned.</li>
 </ul>

 <p>Besides the bug-fixes it also includes some new features:</p>

 <ul>
   <li>Support for Amazon’s new location (Oregon)</li>
   <li>Expose CloudStack provider. This way it can be used with an arbitrary
 CloudStack installation and not just with the provider drivers which
 sub-class it (e.g. Ninefold.com driver).</li>
 </ul>

 <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>
 </ul>

 <p><strong>General</strong></p>

 certificate files are found on startup, an exception is thrown.</li>
 </ul>

 <p><strong>Compute</strong></p>

 <ul>
   <li>New driver for Ninefold.com (also a first driver for public Australian
 cloud provider in Libcloud)</li>
   <li>Support for OpenStack 1.1 API and many other improvements in the

	http://www.linode.com/features.cfm), Zerigo DNS (http://www.zerigo.com/)
	and Rackspace Cloud DNS (
	http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/cloud_hosting_products/dns/). In the future
