Announcing Apache CloudStack CloudMonkey 5.1.0
May 16, 2014 - The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), the all-volunteer
developers, stewards, and incubators of more than 170 Open Source projects and
initiatives, today announced Apache CloudStack CloudMonkey v5.1.0, the latest
feature release of the CloudStack CloudMonkey command line interface (CLI).
Apache CloudStack CloudMonkey is a command line interface (CLI) tool for
CloudStack written in Python. CloudMonkey can be use both as an interactive
shell and as a command line tool which simplifies CloudStack configuration and
management.
CloudMonkey V5.1.0 is the next feature release of the 5.x line which first
released on September 24, 2013. Some of the noteworthy new and improved features
include:
- Support for version 3 of the CloudStack API signing procedure. This adds
security by preventing replay attacks.
- Support for using session-based logins to CloudStack. This simplifies initial
bootstrap of the CLI.
Downloads and Documentation
The official source code for the v5.1 release, can be downloaded from the Apache
CloudStack downloads page at http://cloudstack.apache.org/downloads.html. A
community maintained distribution is available at the Python Package Index
(PyPi) at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/cloudmonkey/

under the Apache License v2.0, and is overseen by a self-selected team of active
contributors to the project. A Project Management Committee (PMC) guides the

OK, thanks for the clarification, Chiradeep.
Please please please don't use this press release/announcement format in future, as it creates confusion.
I'll work with you to create a project-specific format that would work best for you.
Many kind thanks,
Sally

Hmm. I think attachments aren't working here.
But they were for the .xls files of the press clippings, right? Or were those duds as well?
Long deep sigh.

Thanks in advance for your help! I'm looking forward to working with you on the next project announcement --is there anything coming up that we can start planning for? (Yes, I know there are several events on the calendar...happy to help spread the word).
Chat soon,
