   <span class="post-date-author">By Tomaz Muraus on Jan 08, 2023</span>

   <div class="post-content">
     <p>We are happy to announce Libcloud v3.7.0.</p>

 <p>This release includes new features, improvements and bug fixes.</p>

 <p>Highlights include:</p>

 <ul>
   <li>Improvements in the CloudSigma compute driver</li>
   <li>Support for <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">af-south-1</code> region in the Amazon S3 storage driver</li>
   <li>Bug fix for OAuth2 desktop client authentication in the Google Cloud
 Platform compute driver</li>
   <li>Support for Python 3.6 has been dropped</li>
 </ul>

 <p>A list of all the changes can be found at
 <a href="https://libcloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog.html#changes-in-apache-libcloud-3.7.0">https://libcloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog.html#changes-in-apache-libcloud-3.7.0</a>.</p>

 <h3 id="note-on-python-36-support">Note on Python 3.6 support</h3>

 <p>Python 3.6 support has been dropped in Libcloud v3.7.0.</p>

 <p>Python 3.6 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 3.6 is Libcloud v3.6.1.</p>

 <h3 id="note-on-code-style-change-developers-only">Note on code style change (developers only)</h3>

 <p>To make formatting 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
 pyupgrade Python 3.5+ (<a href="https://github.com/asottile/pyupgrade">https://github.com/asottile/pyupgrade</a>) and we will
 automatically enforce black code style (<a href="https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/">https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/</a>)
 and pyupgrade checks 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>

 <p>The release can can be downloaded from
 <a href="https://libcloud.apache.org/downloads.html">https://libcloud.apache.org/downloads.html</a> or installed using pip:</p>

 <pre>
 pip install "apache-libcloud==3.7.0"
 </pre>

 <h3 id="upgrading">Upgrading</h3>

 <p>If you have installed Libcloud using pip you can also use it to upgrade it:</p>

 <pre>
 pip install --upgrade "apache-libcloud==3.7.0"
 </pre>

 <h3 id="upgrade-notes">Upgrade notes</h3>

 <p>A page which describes backward incompatible or semi-incompatible
 changes and how to preserve the old behavior when this is possible
 can be found at <a href="https://libcloud.readthedocs.org/en/latest/upgrade_notes.html">https://libcloud.readthedocs.org/en/latest/upgrade_notes.html</a></p>

 <h3 id="documentation">Documentation</h3>

 <p>Regular and API documentation is available at <a href="https://libcloud.readthedocs.org/en/v3.7.0/">https://libcloud.readthedocs.org/en/v3.7.0/</a></p>
