Libcloud is a Python library that abstracts away the differences among
multiple cloud provider APIs. It allows users to manage cloud services
(servers, storage, load balancers, DNS, containers as a service) offered by
many different providers through a single, unified and easy to use API.

We are happy to announce Libcloud v3.6.1.

This release includes new features, improvements and bug fixes.

Highlights include:

- Improvements in the EC2 price scraping script and updated pricing
- Improvements in the Azure ARM compute driver
- Improvements in the GCE compute driver
- Various bug fixes in the EC2 compute, OpenStack compute,
Azure storage and other drivers

Download

The release can be downloaded from
<https://libcloud.apache.org/downloads.html> or installed using pip:

pip install "apache-libcloud==3.6.1"

Upgrading

If you have installed Libcloud using pip you can also use it to upgrade it:

pip install --upgrade "apache-libcloud==3.6.1"

Note on Python 3.5 support

Libcloud v3.5.0 dropped support for Python 3.5.

Python 3.5 has been EOL and non-supported for more than a year now and a lot
of libraries (including some we depend on) have already dropped support for
it.

Last release which still supports Python 3.5 is Libcloud v3.4.1.

Note on code style change (developers only)

To make formatting and styling in our code base more consistent, we have 
re-formatted all the code with black (https://github.com/psf/black) and 
pyupgrade Python 3.5+ (https://github.com/asottile/pyupgrade) and we will 
automatically enforce black code style 
(https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) and pyupgrade checks for all the new 
code going forward.

This should make it easier to contribute and read the code since all the code 
will be using the same style.
