Hello all, This is a voting thread for Apache Libcloud 0.6.0-beta1 release.
Test tarballs can be found at http://people.apache.org/~tomaz/libcloud/ This release 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) and Zerigo DNS (http://www.zerigo.com/). In the future we also plan to expand it (hopefully with a community help) and add new drivers for providers such as Amazon, Rackspace and others. DNS API is also the reason this is a beta and not a final release. I would like the DNS API to get more real world usage and beating up before a final 0.6.0 release. Other notable changes: - SSL certificate validation is now enabled by default. If no CA certificate files are found on startup, an exception is thrown. - new storage driver for Google storage ( http://code.google.com/apis/storage/) and Ninefold.com storage ( http://ninefold.com/cloud-storage/) - new compute driver for Ninefold.com - support for OpenStack 1.1 API and many other improvements in the OpenStack driver Full change log can be found at https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/libcloud/trunk/CHANGES?view=markup&pathrev=1184804 This release will probably also be the last release in the 0.x series and the next release will be 1.0. Please test the release and post your votes. +/- 1 [ ] Release Apache Libcloud 0.6.0-beta1 Vote closes on Wednesday October 19, 2011 at 10:00 CEST. Thanks, Tomaz
