[dev] [ANNOUNCE] Apache Libcloud 0.11.3 release

[Tomaž Muraus <to...@apache.org>]

Libcloud is a Python library that abstracts away the differences among
multiple cloud provider APIs. It allows users to manage cloud services
(servers, storage, load balancers, DNS) offered by many different providers
through a single, unified and easy to use API.

We are pleased to announce the release of Libcloud 0.11.3!

Release highlights:

Compute:

- Add new Rackspace Nova driver for Chicago (ORD) location
- Add new methods for managing storage volumes and other extenstion methods
  to the IBM SCE driver.
- Allow user to pass 'timeout' argument to the 'deploy_node' method

Bug fixes:

- Fix a bug with the Libcloud SSL verification code. Code was too strict
and didn't
  allow "-" character in the sub-domain when using a wildcard certificate.
