+<a href="https://projects.apache.org/project.html?libcloud";>Apache Project 
Information</a>.</p>
+
+<h2>Releases</h2>
+
+<p>This year we had 4 releases (2.0.0, 2.1.0, 2.2.0, 2.2.1). Out of that, three
+major ones.</p>
+
+<p>Libcloud 2.0.0 which was released in April represented a big milestone. We
+finally moved away from our home grown HTTP abstraction layer built on top
+of Python&#39;s httplib library to the popular requests library.</p>
+
+<p>Back in the day when the project started, requests library didn&#39;t exist 
yet so
+we needed to build a lot of the functionality which is now provided by requests
+ourselves. Move to requests means that we now have a lot less code to maintain
+and we can focus our efforts on the actual drivers which is core to Libcloud 
and
+where the project provides value.</p>
+
+<p>To give you an idea how much effort it took - the ground work for that 
change
+started back in 2016 (<a 
href="https://libcloud.apache.org/blog/2016/04/06/requests-support.html";>https://libcloud.apache.org/blog/2016/04/06/requests-support.html</a>,
+<a 
href="https://github.com/apache/libcloud/pull/728";>https://github.com/apache/libcloud/pull/728</a>),
 but it took a lot more testing
+and work to get it stable enough so we were finally able to include it as part
+of the stable 2.0.0 release (and before that, we also released a couple of 
release
+candidates so users could test and verify that their Libcloud related code
+still works as expected without any regressions).</p>
+
+<p>Special thanks to <a 
href="https://twitter.com/anthonypjshaw?lang=en";>Anthony Shaw</a> for leading 
this effort and not giving up (the
+change itself involved touching a lot of code and updating test cases for most
+of the drivers which resulted in a lot of not so pleasant work and merge
+conflicts).</p>
+
+<h2>Community</h2>
+
+<p>The community continued to grow and we have received contributions from more
+than 75 different contributors. Keep in mind that this number only includes
+people who contributed a code change which has been merged into trunk. The
+actual number is quite a bit higher (code who didn&#39;t get merged, people who
+reported a bug or didn&#39;t include a code change, etc).</p>
+
+<p>We have also added one new committer - Quentin Pradet.</p>
+
+<h2>Ecosystem</h2>
+
+<p>In addition to various proprietary and private code bases, Libcloud 
continues
+to be used as an important part by various open-source <a 
href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=search&amp;term=libcloud&amp;submit=search";>projects
 and
+libraries</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Most notable ones include <a href="https://saltstack.com/";>SaltStack</a>, 
<a href="https://stackstorm.com/";>StackStorm</a> and <a 
href="https://www.google.si/search?ei=bqVGWvyGMYOXkwWlgI7gCw&amp;q=ansible&amp;oq=ansible&amp;gs_l=psy-ab.3..0i67k1j0l9.2982.2982.0.3130.1.1.0.0.0.0.99.99.1.1.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..0.1.99....0.4KRxU06xPjw";>Ansible</a>.</p>
+
+<h2>Conclusion</h2>
+
+<p>I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has contributed
+to the project in one form or another. No matter how small or involved, your
+contribution helped project grow and push through another successful year.</p>
+
+<p>Again, thank you, happy and successful 2018 and see you soon.</p>

+    <p>We are pleased to announce the release of Libcloud 2.2.1!</p>
+
+<p>This is a first patch release in the 2.2.x series and as such, it
+includes some bug fixes and improvements.</p>
+
+<p>The most important one of them fixes an installation of Libcloud 2.2.0
+failing on some operating-system and file-system combinations (e.g.
+ecryptfs layered on top of ext3/4) which don&#39;t support file names longer
+than 143 characters.</p>
+
+<p>In addition to that, it also includes performance improvement for the
+deploy functionality available to the compute drivers. Now the deploy
+scripts which produce a lot of output should finish a lot faster.</p>

support in Apache Libcloud</a></h2>

-    <p>One of the big requests whilst we were replacing <code>httplib</code> 
with the <code>requests</code> package in 2.0 was why didn&#39;t
-we use a HTTP library that supports <em>asynchronous</em> API calls.</p>
-
-<p>The intention for 2.0 and replacing the HTTP backend classes was to improve 
the usability of the project, by making SSL
-certificates easier to manage, improving the maintainability of our source 
code by using an active 3rd party package and
-also improving performance and stability.</p>
-
-<p>Apache Libcloud already has documentation on threaded libraries like gevent 
and callback-based libraries like Twisted, see
-<a 
href="https://libcloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/other/using-libcloud-in-multithreaded-and-async-environments.html";>using
 libcloud in multithreaded environments</a>
-for examples.</p>
-
-<p><a href="https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0492/#";>PEP 492</a>, 
implemented in Python 3.5 provides a new coroutine protocol using methods,
-<code>__await__</code> for classes, a coroutine method wrapper, or a method 
that returns a coroutine object.
-Also async <a 
href="https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0492/#asynchronous-iterators-and-async-for";>iterators</a>
 and <a 
href="https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0492/#asynchronous-context-managers-and-async-with";>context
 managers</a>
-have been introduced.</p>
-
-<p>We would like to take advantage of the new language features by offering 
APIs in Apache Libcloud without breaking backward compatibility and
-compatibility for users of &lt;Python 3.5.</p>
-
-<p>Use cases for this would be:</p>
-
-<ul>
-<li>Being able to fetch <code>Node</code> or <code>StorageObject</code>s from 
multiple geographies or drivers simultaneously.</li>
-<li>Being able to quickly upload or download storage objects by parallelizing 
operations on the <code>StorageDriver</code>.</li>
-<li>Being able to call a long-running API method (e.g. generate report), 
whilst running other code.</li>
-</ul>
-
-<h2>Design 1 - async context managers <a 
href="https://github.com/apache/libcloud/pull/1016";>PR 1016</a></h2>
-
-<p>This design would allow drivers to operate in 2 modes, the first is for 
synchronous method calls, they return list or object
-data as per usual. The second mode, API methods like 
<code>NodeDriver.list_nodes</code> would return a <a 
href="https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0492/#coroutine-objects";>coroutine 
object</a>
-and could be awaited or gathered using an event loop.</p>

-<h2>Design 2 - Additional methods in each driver for coroutines <a 
href="https://github.com/apache/libcloud/pull/1027";>PR 1027</a></h2>
-
-<p>This is the second design concept for async support in Libcloud.</p>
-
-<p>The concept here is to have Asynchronous Mixins, 
<code>LibcloudConnection</code> uses requests and 
<code>LibcloudAsyncConnection</code> uses aiohttp for async transport <a 
href="https://github.com/tonybaloney/libcloud/blob/d4fe097476d2f02941e17d5e1b1d405fcf44c0f7/libcloud/connection_async.py#L22-L42";>see</a></p>
-
-<p>The LibcloudAsyncConnection is an implementation detail of AsyncConnection, 
which is the API for the drivers to consume <a 
href="https://github.com/tonybaloney/libcloud/blob/d4fe097476d2f02941e17d5e1b1d405fcf44c0f7/libcloud/common/base.py#L742-L778";>see</a></p>
-
-<p>The drivers then use this mixin for their custom connection classes, 
e.g.</p>
-
-<div class="highlight"><pre><code class="python language-python" 
data-lang="python"><span class="k">class</span> <span 
class="nc">GoogleStorageConnection</span><span class="p">(</span><span

-    <span class="o">...</span>
-</code></pre></div>
-
-<p>They then inherit from 
<code>libcloud.storage.base.StorageAsyncDriver</code>, which uses a new set of 
base methods, e.g. <code>iterate_containers_async</code> and can be implemented 
like this:</p>

-<h2>Design 3 - Initializer with &quot;<em>async</em>&quot; mode</h2>
-
-<p>This option is similar to 2, except that if a driver is instantiated with 
&quot;<code>async=True</code>&quot;,
-then all driver class methods would return coroutine objects. Internally, it 
would
-patch the Connection class with the AsyncConnection class.</p>
-
-<p>The downside of this is that all method calls to a driver would need to be 
awaited or used
-by an event loop.</p>

-<p>Got a better idea? Have an API or design, the question we&#39;re asking is 
-&quot;if you wanted to use Libcloud for an async application, what would the 
code look like?&quot; This helps us design
-the API and the implementation details can follow.</p>
-
-<p>Feel free to comment on the mailing list or on the pull requests, or raise 
your own pull-request with an API design.</p>

   <div class="post-content">
-    <p>We are pleased to announce the release of Libcloud 1.5.0.</p>
+    <p>One of the big requests whilst we were replacing <code>httplib</code> 
with the <code>requests</code> package in 2.0 was why didn&#39;t
+we use a HTTP library that supports <em>asynchronous</em> API calls.</p>
 
-<p>This release brings many new features, improvements, bug-fixes, and 
drivers.</p>
+<p>The intention for 2.0 and replacing the HTTP backend classes was to improve 
the usability of the project, by making SSL
+certificates easier to manage, improving the maintainability of our source 
code by using an active 3rd party package and
+also improving performance and stability.</p>
+
+<p>Apache Libcloud already has documentation on threaded libraries like gevent 
and callback-based libraries like Twisted, see
+<a 
href="https://libcloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/other/using-libcloud-in-multithreaded-and-async-environments.html";>using
 libcloud in multithreaded environments</a>
+for examples.</p>
+
+<p><a href="https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0492/#";>PEP 492</a>, 
implemented in Python 3.5 provides a new coroutine protocol using methods,
+<code>__await__</code> for classes, a coroutine method wrapper, or a method 
that returns a coroutine object.
+Also async <a 
href="https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0492/#asynchronous-iterators-and-async-for";>iterators</a>
 and <a 
href="https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0492/#asynchronous-context-managers-and-async-with";>context
 managers</a>
+have been introduced.</p>
 
-<h3>Release highlights</h3>
+<p>We would like to take advantage of the new language features by offering 
APIs in Apache Libcloud without breaking backward compatibility and
+compatibility for users of &lt;Python 3.5.</p>
+
+<p>Use cases for this would be:</p>
 
 <ul>
-<li>[azure] New method for accessing rate cards.</li>
-<li>[openstack] Add new Connection class to support VOMS proxys to keystone
-servers.</li>
-<li>[ec2] Added m4 instances to us-gov and brazil, added m4.16xlarge to 
all.</li>
-<li>Add new CloudScale.ch driver</li>
-<li>[dimensiondata] Added support for 2.4 API, added support for image import,
-cloning. Add feature for changing NIC VLANs, add feature for changing NIC
-order for a server.</li>
+<li>Being able to fetch <code>Node</code> or <code>StorageObject</code>s from 
multiple geographies or drivers simultaneously.</li>
+<li>Being able to quickly upload or download storage objects by parallelizing 
operations on the <code>StorageDriver</code>.</li>
+<li>Being able to call a long-running API method (e.g. generate report), 
whilst running other code.</li>
 </ul>
 
-<p>Full change log can be found at <a 
href="https://libcloud.readthedocs.org/en/latest/changelog.html";>here</a>.</p>
+<h2>Design 1 - async context managers <a 
href="https://github.com/apache/libcloud/pull/1016";>PR 1016</a></h2>
 
-<h3>Special thank you</h3>
+<p>This design would allow drivers to operate in 2 modes, the first is for 
synchronous method calls, they return list or object
+data as per usual. The second mode, API methods like 
<code>NodeDriver.list_nodes</code> would return a <a 
href="https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0492/#coroutine-objects";>coroutine 
object</a>
+and could be awaited or gathered using an event loop.</p>
 
-<p>I would like to wish a special thank you to all of our community 
contributors
-for their ongoing support to the project.</p>

-<h3>Upgrade notes</h3>
+<h2>Design 2 - Additional methods in each driver for coroutines <a 
href="https://github.com/apache/libcloud/pull/1027";>PR 1027</a></h2>
 
-<p>A page which describes backward incompatible or semi-incompatible
-changes and how to preserve the old behavior when this is possible
-can be found at <a 
href="https://libcloud.readthedocs.org/en/latest/upgrade_notes.html";>https://libcloud.readthedocs.org/en/latest/upgrade_notes.html</a></p>
+<p>This is the second design concept for async support in Libcloud.</p>
 
-<h3>Documentation</h3>
+<p>The concept here is to have Asynchronous Mixins, 
<code>LibcloudConnection</code> uses requests and 
<code>LibcloudAsyncConnection</code> uses aiohttp for async transport <a 
href="https://github.com/tonybaloney/libcloud/blob/d4fe097476d2f02941e17d5e1b1d405fcf44c0f7/libcloud/connection_async.py#L22-L42";>see</a></p>
 
-<p>Regular and API documentation is available at <a 
href="https://libcloud.readthedocs.org/en/latest/";>https://libcloud.readthedocs.org/en/latest/</a></p>
+<p>The LibcloudAsyncConnection is an implementation detail of AsyncConnection, 
which is the API for the drivers to consume <a 
href="https://github.com/tonybaloney/libcloud/blob/d4fe097476d2f02941e17d5e1b1d405fcf44c0f7/libcloud/common/base.py#L742-L778";>see</a></p>
 
-<h3>Bugs / Issues</h3>
+<p>The drivers then use this mixin for their custom connection classes, 
e.g.</p>
 
-<p>If you find any bug or issue, please report it on our issue tracker
-<a 
href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD";>https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD</a>.
-Don&#39;t forget to attach an example and / or test which reproduces your
-problem.</p>

<code>libcloud.storage.base.StorageAsyncDriver</code>, which uses a new set of 
base methods, e.g. <code>iterate_containers_async</code> and can be implemented 
like this:</p>

+<h2>Design 3 - Initializer with &quot;<em>async</em>&quot; mode</h2>
+
+<p>This option is similar to 2, except that if a driver is instantiated with 
&quot;<code>async=True</code>&quot;,
+then all driver class methods would return coroutine objects. Internally, it 
would
+patch the Connection class with the AsyncConnection class.</p>
+
+<p>The downside of this is that all method calls to a driver would need to be 
awaited or used

code look like?&quot; This helps us design
