+---
+
+We are happy to announce Libcloud v3.7.0.
+
+This release includes new features, improvements and bug fixes.
+
+Highlights include:
+
+- Improvements in the CloudSigma compute driver
+- Support for ``af-south-1`` region in the Amazon S3 storage driver
+- Bug fix for OAuth2 desktop client authentication in the Google Cloud
+  Platform compute driver
+- Support for Python 3.6 has been dropped
+
+A list of all the changes can be found at
+<https://libcloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog.html#changes-in-apache-libcloud-3.7.0>.
+
+### Note on Python 3.6 support
+
+Python 3.6 support has been dropped in Libcloud v3.7.0.
+
+Python 3.6 has been EOL and non-supported for more than a year now
+(<https://endoflife.date/python>) and a lot of libraries (including some we
+depend on) have already dropped support for it.
+
+Last release which still supports Python 3.6 is Libcloud v3.6.1.
+
+### 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.
+
+### Download
+
+The release can can be downloaded from
+<https://libcloud.apache.org/downloads.html> or installed using pip:
