Libcloud team is pleased to announce the release of Libcloud 0.6.2!

This is primary a bug-fix release and includes the following bug-fixes:

• Fix the PollingConnection class and actually use the poll_interval class variable (previously it was ignored). This bug-fix affects Rackspace Cloud DNS driver, CloudStack and Ninefold compute driver.
• Fix a bug in the Rackspace Cloud DNS driver exception handling and throw an Exception if an unexpected status code is returned.

Besides the bug-fixes it also includes some new features:

• Support for Amazon's new location (Oregon)
• Expose CloudStack provider. This way it can be used with an arbitrary CloudStack installation and not just with the provider drivers which sub-class it (e.g. Ninefold.com driver).

Libcloud team is pleased to announce the release of Libcloud 0.6.1!

This release represents a big milestone for us and includes many improvements and new drivers, but the most important thing is a brand new DNS API.

DNS API allows users to manage DNS service provided by many different providers. This release includes a driver for Linode DNS ( http://www.linode.com/features.cfm), Zerigo DNS (http://www.zerigo.com/) and Rackspace Cloud DNS ( http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/cloudhostingproducts/dns/). In the future we also plan to expand it (hopefully with your help) and add new drivers for providers such as Amazon and others.

Other notable changes, bug-fixes and improvements:

Documentation

• New documentation which is available at http://libcloud.apache.org/docs/

General

• SSL certificate validation is now enabled by default. If no CA certificate files are found on startup, an exception is thrown.

Compute

• New driver for Ninefold.com (also a first driver for public Australian cloud provider in Libcloud)
• Support for OpenStack 1.1 API and many other improvements in the OpenStack driver
• Linode driver now support a new Japan location
• Support for deployment using an SSH key
• Amazon EC2 driver now supports deploy functionality using an SSH key

Storage

• New driver for Google storage (http://code.google.com/apis/storage/)
• New driver for Ninefold.com storage (http://ninefold.com/cloud-storage/)

Load Balancer:

• New driver for ninefold.com ( https://ninefold.com/support/display/SPT/Load+Balancing)

Hello all,

I would like to announce Libcloud 0.5.2. This release primary fixes two bugs which were introduced in Libcloud 0.5.0 and improves listing of the objects in the containers which contain more objects that fit into a single response.

Notable changes, bug-fixes and improvements

Compute

• Fix a regression in the deploy_node() method and make it more robust
• Fix a regression in the Nimbus driver create_node() method
• Improved node name and tag handling in the Amazon EC2 driver
• Improved pricing and response handling in the OpenStack driver
• New driver for SkaliCloud (skalicloud.com)
• New driver for ServerLove (serverlove.com)

Storage

• Fix handling of the containers with a lot of objects. Now an iterator object is returned when user calls list_container_objects() method and this object transparently handles pagination.
