This is a voting thread for Libcloud v2.8.0. This release includes various changes, most notable ones being:
* Distribution now includes "py.typed" file which signals mypy that this package contains type annotations (currently only for the base compute API). * Fix wheel metadata. There was a bug where conditional dependencies were not specified correctly so it would try to install "typing" and "enum34" dependency on Python versions where there is not needed. * Fix "get_driver()" bug / regression not working if the "provided" argument was a string and not a Provider ENUM. The plan was for v2.7.0 to be the last major release before v3.0.0 which drops support for Python 2.7 and Python 3.4, but this has changed since v2.7.0 introduced some small regressions / bugs which needed to be fixed (we need to have at least one somewhat stable release which will still work with Python 2.7 and 3.4 for a while to which we can backport any critical security or other major bug fixes if they arise in the near future). If no major issues are found in this release, this will be the last release before v3.0.0 which drops support for those Python versions. Full list of changes can be found at https://github.com/apache/libcloud/blob/trunk/CHANGES.rst#changes-in-apache-libcloud-280 Release artifacts can be found at https://www.tomaz.me/misc/libcloud/v2.8.0/ (I uploaded them to non apache server since I had issues with sftp login to people.apache.org) Please test the release and post your votes. +/- 1 [ ] Release Apache Libcloud 2.8.0 Vote will be open until December 28th, 2019 (or longer, if needed) P.S. Happy holidays and successful 2020 to everyone.
