+---
+
+We are happy to announce Libcloud v3.6.0.
+
+This release includes new features, improvements and bug fixes.
+
+Highlights include:
+
+- Improvements in the Kuberneter container driver
+- Improvements in the OpenStack compute driver (support for micro versions,
+  etc.)
+- Compatibility / support for paramiko >= 2.9.0 including backward
+  compatibility layer for backward incompatible changes in paramiko related
+  to old OpenSSH versions. More information on that available in the Upgrade
+  Notes -
+  <https://libcloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/upgrade_notes.html#libcloud-3-6-0>
+- Support for authenticating using Azure AD credentials in the Azure Blobs
+  storage driver
+
+A list of all the changes can be found at
+<https://libcloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog.html#changes-in-apache-libcloud-3.6.0>.
+
+### Note on Python 3.5 support
+
+Python 3.5 support has been dropped in Libcloud v3.5.0.
+
+Python 3.5 has been EOL and non-supported for more than a year now
+(<https://endoflife.date/python>) and a lot of libraries (including some we
+depend on) have already dropped support for it.
+
+Last release which still supports Python 3.5 is Libcloud v3.4.1.
+
+### Note on code style change (developers only)
+
+To make formating and styling in our code base more consistent, we have
+re-formatted all the code with black (<https://github.com/psf/black>) and we will
+automatically enforce black code style (<https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/>)
+for all the new code going forward.
+
+This should make it easier to contribute and read the code since all the code
+will be using the same style.
+
+### Download
+
+The release can can be downloaded from
+<https://libcloud.apache.org/downloads.html> or installed using pip:
