+---
+
+We are pleased to announce a long awaited Libcloud 0.14.0 release.
+
+This is a first release in the 0.14 series which means it brings many
+(and I mean many!) new features, changes and improvements.
+
+### Release highlights
+
+* To make working with providers which support multiple regions easier and
+  more user-friendly, some of the drivers have moved away from the "one
+  class per region" to a single class plus "region" argument model. Those
+  drivers include: EC2, Rackspace, ElasticHosts, Joyent, CloudFiles.
+* Addition of a programmatic way of updating the pricing file and ability
+  to use a custom pricing file. For more information, please see
+  https://libcloud.readthedocs.org/en/latest/compute/pricing.html#using-a-custom-pricing-file
+* Addition of block storage management methods to the following drivers:
+  OpenNebula, OpenStack, EC2
+* Unification of the extension arguments for handling security groups in
+  the EC2 and OpenStack driver
+* New standard compute API for SSH key-pair management
+* Many new features and improvements in the CloudStack driver
+* New compute and load balancer driver for Google Compute Engine (GCE)
+* Ability to export Libcloud's DNS zone to BIND zone format
+* and much more!
+
+Full change log can be found [here][4] and [here][2] (keep in mind that this
+release also includes all the changes from 0.14.0-beta3).
