[+1] Release Apache Libcloud 0.12.1 The changes included in 0.12.1 look great and tests pass. Thank you for pulling the datacenter changes out of this release until they mature further. Furthermore, the efforts to migrate XMLRPC calls to leverage Libcloud's HTTP layer was a great decision, and I believe Libcloud will benefit greatly from the additional debugging support and security. -- Sincerely, Hutson Keith Betts Key ID: 70354B36
