| |
| <div class="post-content"> |
| <p>We are happy to announce Libcloud v3.8.0.</p> |
| |
| <p>This release includes new features, improvements, and bug fixes.</p> |
| |
| <p>Highlights include:</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>Performance improvements in the storage drivers</li> |
| <li>Removal of 18 drivers for providers that are no longer active (they went |
| out of business, have been acquired, or similar).</li> |
| </ul> |

| <h3 id="development-related-changes-developers-only">Development-Related Changes (developers only)</h3> |
| |
| <p>In addition to the end-user visible changes, we have made various changes to our |
| development process and practices to better follow and align with modern |
| Python development and packaging best practices.</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>Tooling (pylint, mypy, bandit, isort, black, etc.) config options have been |
| migrated into pyproject.yaml file.</li> |
| <li>Package setup and build-related metadata have been migrated from setup.py |
| and setup.cfg to pyproject.toml.</li> |
| <li>The unsafe “setup.py test” wrapper command has been removed in favor of |
| invoking pytest directly.</li> |
| <li>The “build” PyPi package is now used for creating release artifacts (sdist, wheel) |
| in an isolated virtual environment.</li> |
| </ul> |

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

| <p>It has been over 8 years since the new static <a href="https://libcloud.apache.org/blog/2014/01/23/welcome-to-the-new-website.html">Jekyll powered website has |
| been launched</a>.</p> |
| |
| <p>8 years is a long time and since then a lot has changed. Especially in the web |
| world, but the website stayed more or less the same.</p> |
| |
| <p>Since the website is purely static and doesn’t contain any dynamic server side |
| components this means that not updating the software which is used to build the |
| website has no negative security implications for the end users (that’s a nice |
| thing about all the static website generators). This is vastly different if you |
| run a server side CMS such as Wordpress or similar where you need to make sure |
| it’s always up to date with the latest security patches.</p> |
| |
| <p>Main problem with using old software (Ruby, Jekyll) was that it was very hard |
| to reproduce local development environment which made it almost impossible for |
| others to contribute - even I had issues with reproducing the environment in |
| the past year.</p> |
| |
| <p>We used Ruby 1.9 and Jekyll 1.5 which were both almost 8 years old and |
| officially deprecated and non-supported for many years already.</p> |
| |
| <p>At first, I only wanted to create a Docker image with this old software which |
| would make it easier for other people to contribute and build the website |
| locally.</p> |
| |
| <p>It turned out that even that is very hard now because of the various old |
| versions of the software and libraries that software depends on. After |
| many hours, I did <a href="https://libcloud.apache.org/blog/2014/01/23/welcome-to-the-new-website.html">get it to work</a>, but I decide to try to go a step |
| further and see if I can actually update Ruby and Jekyll.</p> |
| |
| <p>And surely, it turned out that’s not an easy task either. Over the years, |
| Jekyll had many releases with breaking changes and to make things worse, we |
| also utilize some custom Jekyll plugins which needed to be updated (I was |
| actually already somewhat aware I’m opening a can of worms because I |
| already tried to do that a couple of times in the past, but each time I |
| decided to abandon those efforts since it required too much work / time).</p> |
| |
| <p>In the end, after addressing all of those various issues and breaking changes, |
| I got everything to work.</p> |
| |
| <p>To make contributing even easier and faster, we also provide a pre-built Docker |
| image with the development environment which should save some time and CPU |
| cycles since the image doesn’t need to be built locally (sadly the image is on |
| the larger side because a lot of tooling is needed to build the website - I do |
| hope to reduce that a bit in a future when I get a chance by using a multi |
| stage build).</p> |
| |
| <p>Since I was already working on the website I also decided to make a bunch of |
| other changes, my favorite one being dark mode / theme. I personally already |
| use <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/sl/firefox/addon/darkreader/">Dark Reader extension for Firefox</a> which automatically provides dark |
| mode for most websites on the fly, but I know now everyone is using something |
| like that and a native dark mode / theme is usually better.</p> |
| |
| <p>The source code and everything else for the new website is available at |
| <a href="https://github.com/apache/libcloud-site">https://github.com/apache/libcloud-site</a>.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="conclusion">Conclusion</h2> |
| |
| <p>We hope you will enjoy those new changes and most importantly, we hope |
| those changes will decrease the barrier to entry and make contributing to |
| the website easier and faster.</p> |
| |
| <p>P.S. If you find any bugs or issues with those changes (especially the dark |
| theme), please feel free to report them or, if possible, contribute the fix |
| directly - that would be much appreciated.</p> |
