All,

Libcloud team is pleased to announce the release of Libcloud 0.10.1!

Release highlights:

General:

- Allow user to specify which IP to use when calling deploy_node
  (defaults to 'public_ips'). Previously it only worked with public IP, now

  connect to the node first private IP address.

- New driver for Joyent cloud (http://www.joyentcloud.com/)

- A lot of improvements and new features in the Brightbox driver
- Support for Vmware vCloud version 1.5
- Modify ParamikoSSHClient to connect to the SSH agent and automatically
look for private keys in ~/.ssh if the 'auth' and 'ssh_key' argument is not
specified when calling deploy_node.
- Modify IBM driver so it works with IBM Smart Cloud Enterprise
