   <span class="post-date-author">By Tomaz Muraus on Apr 15, 2020</span>

   <div class="post-content">
     <p>We are happy to announce Libcloud v3.0.0.</p>

 <p>This is the first release in the v3.x.x series. It includes many changes
 and improvements, the biggest one being dropping support for Python 2.7 and
 Python 3 &lt; 3.5.</p>

 <p>If you still need to use Python 2.7 or Python 3 &lt; 3.5 you can use Libcloud
 v2.8.x release series which still supports those Python versions - keep in
 mind though that this release series only includes bug fixes. All the new
 features and improvements will land in the v3.x.x series.</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>4 new compute drivers (KubeVirt, LXD, Kamatera, GiG G8)</li>
   <li>Various improvements to the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">deploy_node()</code> functionality</li>
   <li>and much more</li>
