| |
| <p>You can also dig into the numbers yourself on <a href="https://github.com/apache/libcloud/pulse">Github</a>, <a href="https://www.openhub.net/p/libcloud">Open Hub</a> and |
| <a href="https://projects.apache.org/project.html?libcloud">Apache Project Information</a>.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="releases">Releases</h2> |
| |
| <p>This year we had 4 releases (2.0.0, 2.1.0, 2.2.0, 2.2.1). Out of that, three |
| major ones.</p> |
| |
| <p>Libcloud 2.0.0 which was released in April represented a big milestone. We |
| finally moved away from our home grown HTTP abstraction layer built on top |
| of Python’s httplib library to the popular requests library.</p> |
| |
| <p>Back in the day when the project started, requests library didn’t exist yet so |
| we needed to build a lot of the functionality which is now provided by requests |
| ourselves. Move to requests means that we now have a lot less code to maintain |
| and we can focus our efforts on the actual drivers which is core to Libcloud and |
| where the project provides value.</p> |
| |
| <p>To give you an idea how much effort it took - the ground work for that change |
| started back in 2016 (<a href="https://libcloud.apache.org/blog/2016/04/06/requests-support.html">https://libcloud.apache.org/blog/2016/04/06/requests-support.html</a>, |
| <a href="https://github.com/apache/libcloud/pull/728">https://github.com/apache/libcloud/pull/728</a>), but it took a lot more testing |
| and work to get it stable enough so we were finally able to include it as part |
| of the stable 2.0.0 release (and before that, we also released a couple of release |
| candidates so users could test and verify that their Libcloud related code |
| still works as expected without any regressions).</p> |
| |
| <p>Special thanks to <a href="https://twitter.com/anthonypjshaw?lang=en">Anthony Shaw</a> for leading this effort and not giving up (the |
| change itself involved touching a lot of code and updating test cases for most |
| of the drivers which resulted in a lot of not so pleasant work and merge |
| conflicts).</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="community">Community</h2> |
| |
| <p>The community continued to grow and we have received contributions from more |
| than 75 different contributors. Keep in mind that this number only includes |
| people who contributed a code change which has been merged into trunk. The |
| actual number is quite a bit higher (code who didn’t get merged, people who |
| reported a bug or didn’t include a code change, etc).</p> |
| |
| <p>We have also added one new committer - Quentin Pradet.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="ecosystem">Ecosystem</h2> |
| |
| <p>In addition to various proprietary and private code bases, Libcloud continues |
| to be used as an important part by various open-source <a href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=search&term=libcloud&submit=search">projects and |
| libraries</a>.</p> |
| |
| <p>Most notable ones include <a href="https://saltstack.com/">SaltStack</a>, <a href="https://stackstorm.com/">StackStorm</a> and <a href="https://www.google.si/search?ei=bqVGWvyGMYOXkwWlgI7gCw&q=ansible&oq=ansible&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0i67k1j0l9.2982.2982.0.3130.1.1.0.0.0.0.99.99.1.1.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..0.1.99....0.4KRxU06xPjw">Ansible</a>.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="conclusion">Conclusion</h2> |
| |
| <p>I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has contributed |
| to the project in one form or another. No matter how small or involved, your |
| contribution helped project grow and push through another successful year.</p> |
| |
| <p>Again, thank you, happy and successful 2018 and see you soon.</p> |
