[dev] [VOTE] Release Apache Libcloud 0.14.0-beta1
This is a voting thread for Libcloud 0.14.0-beta1. The reason this is a
beta and not a final release is that it includes some relatively big
changes. I would like those changes to get some more real-life testing
before doing a final release.
This release includes many new features, improvements and some backward
incompatible changes.
Release highlights:
- To make working with providers which support multiple regions easier and
more user-friendly, some of the drivers have moved from "one class per
region" to a single class plus "region" argument model. Those drivers
include: EC2, Rackspace, ElasticHosts, Joyent, CloudFiles
- Programmatic way of updating pricing file and ability to specify a custom
pricing file.
- Addition of block storage management methods to the following drivers:
OpenNebula, OpenStack, EC2
- Unification of extension arguments for handling security groups in the
EC2 and OpenStack driver
- Many new features and improvements in the CloudStack driver
- New compute and loadbalancer driver for Google Compute Engine (GCE)
- Ability to export Libcloud's DNS zone to BIND zone format
- and much more!
Other non-code changes worth a mention:
- Tests now also run on travis-ci - https://travis-ci.org/apache/libcloud
- Mirror of the new documentation is now also available on RTD -
https://libcloud.readthedocs.org/en/latest/
As noted above, some of the changes are backward incompatible. Information
on how those changes affect existing users and how to update your code to
make it work with this release can be found in the "Upgrade Notes" section
in the documentation -
https://ci.apache.org/projects/libcloud/docs/upgrade_notes.html#libcloud-0-14-0
If everything goes according to plan, 0.14.x will also be the last major
release before Libcloud 1.0.0.
Change log
can be found at
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=libcloud.git;a=blob;f=CHANGES;hb=refs/tags/0.14.0-beta1-tenative#l3
Release artifacts can be found at http://people.apache.org/~tomaz/libcloud/.
Please test the release and post your votes.
+/- 1
[ ] Release Apache Libcloud 0.14.0-beta1
Vote will be opened until October 23rd, 2013 (or longer, if needed).
Thanks,
Tomaz

I'm canceling this voting thread.
Recently some new changes which I would like to include in this release
have been contributed. I will create a new release (beta2) which includes
those changes and start a new voting thread.
