[ANNOUNCE] Apache Libcloud 0.7.1 released

[Tomaž Muraus <to...@apache.org>]

Hello all,

Libcloud team is pleased to announce the release of Libcloud 0.7.1!

This release represents another big milestone for us and introduces a
support for Python 3!

Other notable changes:

- New Las Vegas location for the CloudSigma provider
- Improvements to the OpenStack driver
- Improvements to the OpenNebula driver
- Support for Amazon EC2 new "Cluster Compute Eight Extra Large" instance
size

This release also removes old, deprecated (pre-0.5) paths. If you still
haven't updated your code you need to do it now otherwise it won't work
with 0.7.1 and future releases.

the new ones can be found at
