This is a voting thread for Libcloud 2.0.0rc1. This is the first release candidate in the 2.0.0 release series. Because of the major change in HTTP client and the impacting changes to the driver, a major release version increase would be appropriate.
I have written a page explaining these changes here- http://libcloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/other/changes_in_2_0.html A new -tentative tag is committed and can be found at https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=libcloud.git;a=tag;h=refs/tags/v2.0.0rc1-tentative A full list of changes can be found at: https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=libcloud.git;a=blob;f=CHANGES.rst;h=7c233584443555f72d825cdd8a66c4b7e638e16e;hb=7234a29b05de1bd05cd6f98f6ace07a148b921f8 Major changes include - Replaced urllib with requests Minor changes include - Fix vSphere driver - Removed support for S3 multi-part uploads of very large objects - temporary before 2.0.0 proper. - Enabling HTTP redirects by default - Allowing both global and driver-specific HTTP proxy configuration - Consolidation of the LibcloudHTTPSConnection and LibcloudHTTPConnection into a single class, LibcloudConnection - Support for streaming responses - Support for mocking HTTP responses without having to mock the Connection class - 10% typical performance improvement with the use of persistent TCP connections for each driver instance - Access to the low-level TCP session is no longer available. Access to .read() on a raw connection will bind around requests body or iter_content methods.
