<h2 class="post-title"><a href="/blog/2020/01/29/libcloud-3-0-0-rc1-released.html">Libcloud 3.0.0-rc1 released</a></h2>
<span class="post-date-author">By Tomaz Muraus on Jan 29, 2020</span>
<div class="post-content">
<p>We are happy to announce Libcloud v3.0.0-rc1.</p>
<p>This is the first release candidate for Libcloud v3.0.0 which includes many
changes, the biggest one being dropping support for Python 2.7 and
Python 3 &lt; 3.5.</p>
<p>Since this is a first release which drops support for those Python versions,
we want to give our users some time to opt-in and test it and verify
everything works as expected, before we produce a stable v3.0.0 release.</p>
<p>Other highlights include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Type annotations for the base storage API</li>
<li>Various improvements in the Azure Blobs driver</li>
<li>New standard “prefix” keyword argument in the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">{list,iterate}_container_objects</code>
methods</li>
<li>2 new compute drivers (KubeVirt, LXD)</li>
</ul>
<p>If no major issues are found, this release candidate (with any other fixes
which accumulate in trunk until then) will become a stable v3.0.0 release
some time in the near future.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that this is a pre-release so it won’t be installed by pip
by default when you run <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">pip install apache-libcloud</code>.</p>
<p>To install it, you need to explicitly specify a version as shown in the
Download section below.</p>

<span class="post-date-author">By Tomaz Muraus on Jan 02, 2020</span>
<div class="post-content">
<p>We are pleased to announce the release of Libcloud 2.8.0.</p>
<p>This release includes various changes, most notable ones being:</p>
<ul>
<li>Distribution now includes <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">py.typed</code> file which signals mypy that
this package contains type annotations (currently only for the
base compute API).</li>
<li>Fix wheel metadata. There was a bug where conditional dependencies
were not specified correctly so it would try to install <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">typing</code>
and <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">enum34</code> dependency on Python versions where there is not needed.</li>
<li>Fix <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">get_driver()</code> bug / regression not working if the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">provider</code>
argument was a string and not a Provider ENUM.</li>
</ul>

<h3 id="dropping-support-for-python-27-and-python-34">Dropping support for Python 2.7 and Python 3.4</h3>
<p>The plan was for v2.7.0 to be the last major release before v3.0.0 which
drops support for Python 2.7 and Python 3.4, but this has changed since
v2.7.0 introduced some small regressions / bugs which needed to be fixed.</p>
<p>If no major issues are found in this release, this will be the
last release before v3.0.0 which drops support for those Python
versions.</p>
<p>For more information on dropping support for Python 2.7 and Python 3.4, please
refer to the v2.7.0 release announcement
