+    <p>We are happy to announce Libcloud v3.0.0-rc1.</p>
 
-<p>This release includes various bug-fixes which have accumulated in trunk since
-the last release.</p>
+<p>This is the first release candidate for Libcloud v3.0.0 which includes many 
+changes, the biggest one being dropping support for Python 2.7 and 
+Python 3 &lt; 3.5.</p>
+
+<p>Since this is a first release which drops support for those Python versions,
+we want to give our users some time to opt-in and test it and verify
+everything works as expected, before we produce a stable v3.0.0 release.</p>
+
+<p>Other highlights include:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Type annotations for the base storage API</li>
+<li>Various improvements in the Azure Blobs driver</li>
+<li>New standard &quot;prefix&quot; keyword argument in the <code>{list,iterate}_container_objects</code>
+methods</li>
+<li>2 new compute drivers (KubeVirt, LXD)</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>If no major issues are found, this release candidate (with any other fixes
+which accumulate in trunk until then) will become a stable v3.0.0 release
+some time in the near future.</p>

+<p>Keep in mind that this is a pre-release so it won&#39;t be installed by pip
+by default when you run <code>pip install apache-libcloud</code>.</p>
+
+<p>To install it, you need to explicitly specify a version as shown in the
+Download section below.</p>
 
-<p>Keep in mind that 2.8.x is purely a bug fix release series. New features and

+    <p>We are happy to announce Libcloud v3.0.0.</p>

+v2.8.x release series which still supports those Python versions - keep in
+mind though that this release series only includes bug fixes. All the new
+features and improvements will land in the v3.x.x series.</p>
+
+<p>Other highlights include:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Type annotations for the base storage API</li>
+<li>Various improvements in the Azure Blobs driver</li>
+<li>New standard &quot;prefix&quot; keyword argument in the <code>{list,iterate}_container_objects</code>
+methods</li>
+<li>4 new compute drivers (KubeVirt, LXD, Kamatera, GiG G8)</li>

+Python 3 &lt; 3.5.</p>
+
+<p>Since this is a first release which drops support for those Python versions,
+we want to give our users some time to opt-in and test it and verify
+everything works as expected, before we produce a stable v3.0.0 release.</p>
+
+<p>Other highlights include:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Type annotations for the base storage API</li>
+<li>Various improvements in the Azure Blobs driver</li>
+<li>New standard &quot;prefix&quot; keyword argument in the <code>{list,iterate}_container_objects</code>
+methods</li>
+<li>2 new compute drivers (KubeVirt, LXD)</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>If no major issues are found, this release candidate (with any other fixes
+which accumulate in trunk until then) will become a stable v3.0.0 release
+some time in the near future.</p>

+
+&lt;p&gt;This is the first release in the v3.x.x series. It includes many changes

+
+&lt;p&gt;If you still need to use Python 2.7 or Python 3 &amp;lt; 3.5 you can use Libcloud

+mind though that this release series only includes bug fixes. All the new
+features and improvements will land in the v3.x.x series.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Other highlights include:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;ul&gt;

-Loo&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The Project Management Committee (PMC) for Apache Libcloud has invited Rick
-van de Loo to join us as a committer and we are pleased to announce that he
-has accepted.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;In the last couple of years Rick has &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/apache/libcloud/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Avdloo+is%3Aclosed&quot;&gt;contributed various high quality
-changes&lt;/a&gt; to the project and we are happy to have him on board.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;For anyone who would like to know more about Rick here is his short bio:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;blockquote&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;Rick van de Loo is the lead developer on Hypernode, a highly automated and
-cloud agnostic hosting platform specialised for Magento built on top of Apache
-Libcloud. Since Rick started working on Hypernode he has seen it scale from
-double digits to thousands of servers, along the road orchestrating various
-high volume cross-provider migrations. His main focus is on platform
-stability and feature development, of which a large part has been integrating
-cloud APIs and working around their incompatibilities and unreliable nature.&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;And in his own words:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;blockquote&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;Since we started using Libcloud around four years ago the landscape has
-changed a lot. But even though container-based and serverless architectures
-have become more prominent, compute is still the cornerstone of cloud. Most
-of my contributions have been about standardising functionality across
-different compute providers and implementing new driver methods, mainly
-related to the AWS, DigitalOcean and OpenStack APIs. As an Apache Libcloud
-team member I will continue to contribute changes that help us scratch our
-own itch and encourage other members of the Hypernode team to do the same.&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;We are happy to have him in our team and we are looking forward to his future
-participation and contributions.&lt;/p&gt;
