+
+Body::
+
+    This is a voting thread for Libcloud 0.13.2.

+    Libcloud is a Python library that abstracts away the differences among
+    multiple cloud provider APIs. It allows users to manage cloud services
+    (servers, storage, loadbalancers, DNS) offered by many different providers
+    through a single, unified and easy to use API.
+
+    We are pleased to announce the release of Libcloud 0.13.1!
+
+    This is a bug-fix only release. Among some smaller bugs it also fixes
+    Content-Length regression which broke create and update operations in
+    the Bluebox Compute and Azure Storage driver (LIBCLOUD-362, LIBCLOUD-3901).
