[dev] [ANNOUNCE] Libcloud 0.6.2

[Tomaž Muraus <to...@apache.org>]

Hello all,

Libcloud team is pleased to announce the release of Libcloud 0.6.2!

This is primary a bug-fix release and includes the following bug-fixes:

- Fix the PollingConnection class and actually use the poll_interval class
variable (previously it was ignored). This bug-fix affects Rackspace Cloud
DNS driver, CloudStack and Ninefold compute driver.

- Fix a bug in the Rackspace Cloud DNS driver exception handling and throw
an Exception if an unexpected status code is returned.

Besides the bug-fixes it also includes some new features:

- Support for Amazon's new location (Oregon)

- Expose CloudStack provider. This way it can be used with an arbitrary
CloudStack installation and not just with the provider drivers which
sub-class it (e.g. Ninefold.com driver).
