Changes in Apache Libcloud 4.0.0
--------------------------------

Common
~~~~~~

- Accept bracketed IPv6 endpoint URLs, with default or explicit ports, in the
  shared connection class.
  (GITHUB-2220)
  [Jatin Pandey - @satiricalguru]

- Fix ``MinimalRetry`` and ``Retry`` skipping the initial request and raising
  ``TypeError`` when the retry timeout is zero or negative. The initial request
  now runs once, returning its result or propagating its exception without
  sleeping.
  (GITHUB-2199)
  [Zhe Chen - @zhechen-cs]

- Respect the ``no_proxy`` / ``NO_PROXY`` environment variable so an explicitly
  configured proxy is bypassed for matching hosts.
  (GITHUB-2077)
  [Sanjay Santhanam - @Sanjays2402]

- Move tests to python 3.12.
  (#2152)
  [Miguel Caballer - @micafer]

- [Utils] Fix ``is_valid_ip_address`` raising ``ValueError`` instead of
  returning ``False`` for an address containing an embedded null byte
  (e.g. ``"1.2.3.4\x00"``). ``socket.inet_pton`` raises ``ValueError`` rather
  than ``OSError`` in that case, which was not caught.
  (#2185)
  [Ashish - @Ashishjob]

Compute
~~~~~~~

- [OVH] Remove the static location mapping and use the location code returned
  by the API as both the location ID and name, avoiding failures for codes not
  known to Libcloud.
  (#2219)
  [Miguel Caballer - @micafer]

- [OVH] Change the ``ex_keyname`` argument to ``auth`` in ``create_node()`` to
  match the implementation in EC2.
  (#2148)
  [ali-corpo & Miguel Caballer - @micafer]

- [CloudSigma] Fix ``ex_list_tags()`` in the API v2 driver to use ``/tags/``
  instead of ``/tags/detail/``, avoiding HTTP 404 errors when listing tags.
  (GITHUB-2195)
  [Robert Jenkin - @rjcloudsigma]

- [GCE] Preserve completed results and pending node names on the exception
  raised when bulk node creation times out, allowing callers to recover or
  clean up resources without losing track of them.
  (GITHUB-1589)
  [Ishu Patel - @ishu7w]

- [EC2] Allow Elastic IP association with a specific network interface, so
  instances with multiple interfaces can select the required target. Existing
  calls continue to associate by instance ID.
  (GITHUB-1799)
  [Ishu Patel - @ishu7w]

- [OpenStack] Select service catalog endpoints by service type without filtering
  by the default service name. The service name is only used as a filter when
  explicitly provided via ``ex_force_service_name``.

  (#2074)
  [Miguel Caballer - @micafer]

- [Compute] Unify ``NodeDriver`` method signatures across drivers.

  Driver implementations now preserve the standard argument order and
  optionality declared by ``NodeDriver``. Provider-specific arguments follow
  the standard arguments and are optional. ``list_nodes`` is excluded because
  its ``*args, **kwargs`` contract is intentionally unrestricted.

  This can be a backward-incompatible change for code which passes arguments
  positionally to affected methods.

  (#2170)
  [Miguel Caballer - @micafer]

- [DigitalOcean] Include IPv6 addresses in ``Node.public_ips`` and
  ``Node.private_ips``. Only the ``v4`` networks were inspected, and each
  address overwrote the previous one, so a droplet's public IPv6 address was
  silently dropped.
  (GITHUB-1738)
  [Sanjay Santhanam - @Sanjays2402]

- [SSH] Support paramiko 4

  RSA key support has been removed as of paramiko 4, so only import it
  and check if the version number is less than 4.
  (#2135)
  [Steve Kowalik - @s-t-e-v-e-n-k]

- [Azure ARM] Fix ``create_node`` failing with a JSON serialization error when
  ``ex_customdata`` is provided. The base64 encoded custom data is now decoded
  to a ``str`` and both ``str`` and ``bytes`` inputs are accepted.
  (GITHUB-1893)
  [Sanjay Santhanam - @Sanjays2402]

- [UpCloud]

  Add new functions to complete the Upcloud driver and move it to the
  last API version 1.3
  (#2147)
  [Miguel Caballer - @micafer]

Storage
~~~~~~~

- [S3] Add ``ex_allow_path_double_slashes`` to preserve object key slashes
  per driver without changing the global URL normalization setting.
  (GITHUB-1654)
  [Shubham Padkonde - @Shubham-Padkonde]

- [Local] Stream range downloads in bounded chunks without reading the entire
  source file or buffering the complete range before writing it to disk.
  (GITHUB-2191)
  [Neha Mahesh - @mneha05]

- [Local Storage] Fix upload errors being suppressed when locking is disabled
  with ``ex_use_locking=False``. The original exception now propagates instead
  of the upload appearing to succeed.
  (#2204)
  [@JunaidAhamed-7777]

- [Local Storage] Release the thread lock if IPC lock acquisition fails,
  allowing the same lock object to be reused after a timeout or error.
  (#2203)

- [Local Storage] Prevent source objects from being deleted when
  ``download_object`` is called with a destination that resolves
  to the source file.
  (#2201)
  [Zhe Chen - @zhechen-cs]

- [Storage] Prevent path traversal when downloading objects to a directory by
  using only the object name's basename as the local filename.
  (#2206)
  [Miguel Caballer - @micafer]

- [Azure Blobs] Fix SAS signatures for percent-encoded object paths by using
  the decoded path in the canonicalized resource while preserving the encoded
  path in the returned URL.
  (GITHUB-1805)
  [Jack Chen - @nightcityblade]

- [S3] Fix ``chunk_size`` argument being ignored by
  ``download_object_as_stream`` and ``download_object_range_as_stream``. The
  requested chunk size is now passed through to the underlying iterator
  instead of the hardcoded default.
  (GITHUB-1798)

  [Sanjay Santhanam - @Sanjays2402]

- [Azure Blobs] Fix ``chunk_size`` argument being ignored by
  ``download_object_as_stream`` and ``download_object_range_as_stream``. The
  requested chunk size is now forwarded to the underlying iterator instead of
  always using ``AZURE_DOWNLOAD_CHUNK_SIZE``.
  (GITHUB-1698)

  [Sanjay Santhanam - @Sanjays2402]

DNS

- [Route53] Fix ``delete_record`` failing with ``RecordDoesNotExistError`` for
  records which are part of a multi value record set (e.g. MX). Route53 only
  accepts a DELETE changeset which lists every value in the record set, so the
  values of the other records in the set are now included, mirroring how
  ``update_record`` already handles multi value records.
  (GITHUB-1831)
  [Sanjay Santhanam - @Sanjays2402]

- [Cloudflare] Fix ``list_record_types`` advertising the unsupported ``URL``
  record type instead of ``LOC``. The ``RECORD_TYPE_MAP`` entry was keyed on
  ``RecordType.URL`` while its value was ``"LOC"``; the key is now
  ``RecordType.LOC`` so Cloudflare's supported ``LOC`` record type is reported
  and the unsupported ``URL`` type is not.
  (#2175)
  [Uttam Limbani - @uttam12331]

- [BuddyNS, DNSPod, LuaDNS, NsOne] Fix the shared class-level ``errors`` and
  ``objects`` lists in the four DNS response classes. The lists now live on
  each response instance, so parsed records no longer accumulate across
  responses and error state no longer leaks between requests.
  (GITHUB-2216)
  [Hisernberg - @Hisernberg]

Changes in Apache Libcloud 3.9.1
--------------------------------

Compute
~~~~~~~

- [VSphere] Add verify_ssl option

  Add verify_ssl option, to enable the user to avoid SSL verification explicitly.
  (#2128)
  [Miguel Caballer - @micafer]

- [OpenStack] Initial Blazar support

  This is an initial implementation of Blazar support in Libcloud. It currently
  supports listing the available leases and hosts.
  (#2094)
  [Miguel Caballer - @micafer]


- [Azure ARM] Update US GovCloud AD endpoint for AZURE_ARM provider.
  (#2062)
  [Chris Clifford - @CrCliff]

- [OpenStack] Add hypervisor_hostname attribute to OpenStack node.
  (#2063)
  [Miguel Caballer - @micafer]

  (#2060)
  [Frederic Hemery - @Arkelenia]

- [Azure ARM, Amazon S3] Add signed upload to azure and s3.
  (#2058)
  [Pablo Nicolás Estevez - @Polandia94]

- [RcodeZero]: Fix issue when adding a record where a record with a different type already exists
  (#2038)
  [Michael Braunöder - @MikeAT]

DNS
~~~~

- [Cloudflare] Removal of zone_name from Cloudflare record response following API deprecation

  This change will cause that record name returned by the Cloudflare driver to be fully
  qualified (e.g. "www.example.com") instead of relative to the zone (e.g. "www").
  This is due to the fact that Cloudflare has deprecated the "zone_name" field in their
  API response and it is no longer available.
  (#2068)
  [Chris Smith - cha0tic87]

- [Luadns] Fix example keyword arguments.
  (#2064)
  [Aaron Sierra - @aaron-sierra]

Changes in Apache Libcloud 3.9.0
--------------------------------

Common
~~~~~~

- Support for Python 3.9 which is EOL has been removed.

  If you still want to use Libcloud with Python 3.9, you should use an older
  release which still supports Python 3.9.
  (#2093, #2085)
  [Zili Chen - @tisonkun,  Chojan Shang - @PsiACE]

- Indicate we also support Python 3.12 (non beta) and Python 3.13.
  (#2050)
  [Tomaz Muraus - @Kami]

- Support for Python 3.8 which is EOL has been removed.

  If you still want to use Libcloud with Python 3.8, you should use an older
  release which still supports Python 3.8.
  (#2050)
  [Tomaz Muraus - @Kami]

- Support for Python 3.7 which is EOL has been removed.

  If you still want to use Libcloud with Python 3.7, you should use an older
  release which still supports Python 3.7.
  (#1941)
  [Tomaz Muraus - @Kami]

- Types inheriting from ``libcloud.common.types.Type`` have been made hashable.
  This way they can be directly used for testing memberships in sets which
  contain string representation of the type enum value
  (e.g. ``NodeState.RUNNING in {"running"} == True``).
  (#1944)
  [Ricardo Branco - @ricardobranco777]

- [NTT CIS] Fix invalid comparison in the ``XmlListConfig.__init__()`` method.
  (#1940)
  [@munahaf on behalf of OpenRefactory and Open Source Security Foundation]

- Update versions of build and packaging tools required to build the package.

  Per report from Rui Chen (@chenrui333) ansible homebrew package which
  depends on libcloud was failing to build with Libcloud 3.8.0.

  Special thanks to Rui Chen for their assistance with troubleshooting the issue
  and testing v3.9.0 release candidate.
  (#2047)

Other / Development
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Adopt uv for dependency management.

  This should make it easier to manage dependencies and update them in the
  future.

  (#2102)
  [Chojan Shang - @PsiACE]

- pytest library used for running tests and microbenchmarks has been upgraded to
  v8.1.

  Changes in the pytest test discovery and collection mechanism and ordering
  have uncovered some race conditions and cross test pollution which has been
  addressed.

  Now all the tests are passing, but it's possible that there are still some
  race conditions hiding which many only pop up in the future (since we run
  tests in parallel and order in which they run is not fully deterministic).
  (#1994)
  [Tomaz Muraus - @Kami]

- Add a workaround so tests work with pytest >= 8.2. Also use latest version of
  pytest for running tests.
  (#2033)
  [Steve Kowalik - @s-t-e-v-e-n-k]

Changes in Apache Libcloud 3.8.0
--------------------------------

Compute
~~~~~~~

- Remove obsolete compute driver where the provider is either dead or not
  offering those services anymore: Bluebox, bsnlcloud, Cloudwatt, Enomaly,
  ElasticHosts, ElasticStack, GoGrid, Gridspot, HostVirtual, Joyent, Med-1,
  Nephoscale, 1on1, ProfitBricks, ServerLove, SkaliCloud, Softlayer, Voxel.

  (#1743, #1852)
  [Anthony Monthe - @ZuluPro, Tomaz Muraus - @Kami]

- [Outscale] Fix ``list_nodes()`` and ``list_volumes()`` method.
  (#1877)
  [Matthias Gatto - @outscale-mgo]

- [Azure ARM] Implement pagination in the ``list_nodes()`` method. This fixes a
  bug which would result in sometimes not all the nodes being returned.
  (#1824, #1850)
  [Jan Müller - @ojan-mue]

- [Azure ARM] Implement pagination in the ``list_volumes()`` method. This fixes a
  bug which would result in sometimes not all the volumes nodes being returned.
  (#1891)
  [Jan Müller - @ojan-mue]

- [Azure ARM] Bump DISK_API_VERSION from ``2018-06-01`` to ``2023-01-02`` to
  support premium v2 SSDs.
  (#1904)
  [John Wren Kennedy - @jwk404]

- [AWS EC2] Add support for the following new arguments to the
  ``ex_register_image()`` method:
  * ``boot_mode`` - control bios vs uefi boot
  * ``tpm_support`` - enable a tpm
  * ``uefi_data`` - provide NV UEFI vars
  * ``imds_support`` - require IMDSv2.
  (#1906)
  [Ross Vandegrift - @rvandegrift]

Storage
~~~~~~~

- Optimize ``read_in_chunks()`` function implementation.

  This should result in large performance speedups and lower memory usage when
  uploading or downloading a large file with a mismatching chunk size.

  Keep in mind that this only affects code paths where the function is called
  with ``fill_size=True`` argument (such as in the S3 driver, etc).
  (#1847)
  [Tobias Biester - @Tobi995]

- [Aliyun OSS] Fix ``upload_object()`` function.
  (#1796)
  [@shengwubin]

- [S3] Support all available storage classes. Previously only "standard" and
  "reduced_redundancy" were supported.
  (#1875)
  [Mohammad Aburadeh - @mohammad-aburadeh]

- [CloudFiles] Fix ``get_endpoint_url()`` throwing an exception when being used
  with ``use_internal_url=True`` argument.
  (#1883, #1884)
  [Marcus T - @llamasoft]

- [CloudFiles] Update OpenStack connection handling code to only re-connect in
  case connection details (scheme, host, port) have changed.

  This should result in significant performance improvements when downloading
  objects since the underlying HTTP connection will be properly re-used.
  (#1885, #1886)
  [Marcus T - @llamasoft]

- [Backblaze B2] Fix a bug which would result in an exception when passing
  ``extra={"meta_data": {}}`` argument to the ``upload_object()`` method.
  (#1916)
  [Shepilov Vladislav - @shepilov-vladislav]

Other
~~~~~

- Move Python tooling (pytest, bandit, pylint, mypy, coverage) config options
  from separate config files into single pyproject.yaml config files.

  NOTE: This change only affects development process and nothing else.
  (#1901)
  [RS Nikhil Krishna - @rsnk96]

- Fix minor typos in the code using codespell package and enforce this check as
  part of our GHA CI system.
  (#1923)
  [Tomaz Muraus - @Kami]

- Indicate we also support Python 3.12 (beta).
  (#1920)
  [Tomaz Muraus - @Kami]

- Remove unused ``libcloud.security.SSL_VERSION`` constant / module level
  variable. This variable has been unused and had no affect on the behavior
  since we switched to the ``requests`` library for making HTTP(s) requests in
  2016.
  [Tomaz Muraus - @Kami]

- Packaging related metadata has been migrated from ``setup.py`` to
  ``pyproject.yaml`` file.
  (#1929)
  [Tomaz Muraus - @Kami]

- Deprecated and unsafe ``setup.py test`` convenience alias for running tests
  using pytest has been removed in favor of running pytest directly.
  (#1929)
  [Tomaz Muraus - @Kami]

- Script for building release artifacts has been updated to utilize ``build``
  Python package to build release artifacts (sdist + wheel) in an isolated
  environment.
  (#1929)
  [Tomaz Muraus - @Kami]

Changes in Apache Libcloud 3.7.0
--------------------------------

Common
~~~~~~

- Support for Python 3.6 which has been EOL for more than a year now has been
  removed.

  If you still want to use Libcloud with Python 3.6, you should use an older
  release which still supports Python 3.6.
  (#1611)

Compute
~~~~~~~

- [CloudSigma] Update API URLs for US locations.
  (#1781)
  [Mohsen Hassani - @mohsen-hassani-cs]

- [GCP] Fix OAuth2 desktop client login.
  (#1806, #1807)

Other
~~~~~

- Also run unit tests under Python 3.11 on CI/CD and indicate we also support
  Python 3.11.
  (#1818)

Changes in Apache Libcloud 3.6.1
--------------------------------

Common
~~~~~~

- [OpenStack] Fix OpenStack Identitiy bug when auth url contains a path.

  (#1717, #1718)
  [Dimitris Galanis - @dimgal1]


- Update EC2 price scraping script to utilize official pricing API endpoint.

  Pricing file has also been updated to include latest EC2 pricing data.

  Complete raw pricing data file size has grown by ~1 MB (from ~2 MB to
  ~3 MB).

  By default when requesting pricing data we only cache pricing data in memory
  for used / requested drivers so a slight memory increase due to the pricing
  file size increase will only affect users who utilize pricing related
  functionality in the EC2 driver.

  (#1715)
  [Eis D. Zaster - @Eis-D-Z]

Compute
~~~~~~~

- [EC2] Update ``list_images()`` method to better handle scenario when an image
  doesn't contain ``creationDate`` attribute (previously the code would throw if
  an image without ``creationDate`` was encountered).

  Reported by Juan Marcos Caicedo Mejía  - @juanmarcosdev.

  (#1700, #1701)
  [Tomaz Muraus - @Kami]

- [Azure ARM] Allow user to create volume / disks in specific zone by passing
  ``ex_zones`` argument to the ``create_volume()`` method.

  Also add new ``ex_sku_name`` and remove ``ex_account_type`` argument from
  that method.

  Also change ``DISK_API_VERSION`` version from ``2016-04-30-preview`` to
  ``2018-06-01``. This is needed to be able to support those changes. Code
  has been updated to handle slightly different response format for the
  volume API operations.

  (#1736)
  [Palash Gandhi - @palashgandhi]

- [GCE] Add improved support for retrieving GCE image pricing data using
  ``libcloud.pricing.get_image_price("gce_images", ...)`` method.

  Existing way of retrieving image pricing using
  ``libcloud.pricing.get_pricing("compute", "gce_images")`` method continues to
  work.

  (#1699)
  [Eis D. Zaster - @Eis-D-Z]

- [Azure ARM] Add new ``ex_create_additional_capabilities()`` method which allows
  user to set capabilities on a stopped node. This allows users to utilize ultra
  SSDs and similar.

  Also add support for new ``ex_iops`` and ``ex_throughput`` argument to the
  ``create_volume()`` method.

  (#1744)
  [John Wren Kennedy - @jwk404]

Storage
~~~~~~~

- [Azure Blobs] Fix ``get_container()`` method and make sure Container ``etag``
  extra attribute contains the correct scheme (https or http), depending on the
  used endpoint.

  (#1703, #1712)
  [@KatiRG]

- [Azure Blobs] Fix `list_containers()`` method and make sure Container ``etag``
  extra attribute doesn't contain unncessary double quotes around the value
  (``"0x8CFBAB7B5B82D8E"`` -> ``0x8CFBAB7B5B82D8E``).

  (#1712)
  [Tomaz Muraus - @Kami]

- [OVH] Add new driver for OVH Storage based on the S3 compatible storage
  endpoints.

  (#1732)
  [Olivier Picquenot - @pcqnt]

Other / Development
~~~~~--------------

- All the imports in the code have been re-organized / sorted using the ``isort``
  library.

  Going forward, consistent import ordering will be automatically enforced
  using ``isort`` check on the CI.

  Developers can run the isort check locally using
  ``tox -e <isort|isort-check>`` command.

  (#1761)
  [Tomaz Muraus - @Kami]

- Fix black config (``pyproject.toml``) and ensure max line length is correctly
  set to 100 characters everywhere.

  Also re-format code with this fixed / updated config option.

  (#1761)
  [Tomaz Muraus - @Kami]

- Code has been reformatted using pyupgrade and Python 3.6 higher compatible
  syntax.

  (#1765)
  [Tomaz Muraus - @Kami]

Changes in Apache Libcloud 3.6.0
--------------------------------

Compute
~~~~~~~

- [OpenStack] Fix error attaching/detaching a Floating IP to an OpenStack node
  when `ex_force_microversion` is set with 2.44 or newer microversion.

  (#1674)
  [Miguel Caballer - @micafer]

- [OpenStack] Error in volume api calls if microversion is set in OpenStack.
  In previous version if `ex_force_microversion` is set, it is assumed to set
  it to the compute service. Now if only a version is set `2.67`, compute
  service is assumed but it can be also set the service name `volume 3.21`.

  (#1675)
  [Miguel Caballer - @micafer]

- [OpenStack] Fix error creating and getting node in OpenStack when
  ex_force_microversion is set to a version newer than 2.47.

  (#1672)
  [Miguel Caballer - @micafer]

- [EC2] Add support for new ``af-south-1`` region.
  (#1688)
  [Balazs Baranyi - @balazsbaranyi]

- [SSH] Update deploy node and ParamikoSSHClient related code so it works
  with paramiko >= 2.9.0 and older OpenSSH server versions which doesn't
  support SHA-2 variants of RSA key verification algorithm.

  paramiko v2.9.0 introduced a change to prefer SHA-2 variants of RSA key
  verification algorithm. With this version paramiko would fail to connect
  to older OpenSSH servers which don't support this algorithm (e.g. default
  setup on Ubuntu 14.04) and throw authentication error.

  The code has been updated to be backward compatible. It first tries to
  connect to the server using default preferred algorithm values and in case
  this fails, it will fall back to the old approach with SHA-2 variants
  disabled.

  This functionality can be disabled by setting
  ``LIBCLOUD_PARAMIKO_SHA2_BACKWARD_COMPATIBILITY``environment variable to
  ``false``.

  For security reasons (to prevent possible downgrade attacks and similar) you
  are encouraged to do that in case you know you won't be connecting to any old
  OpenSSH servers.
  [Tomaz Muraus]

Storage
~~~~~~~

- [Google Storage] Fix public objects retrieval. In some scenarios, Google
  doesn't return ``etag`` header in the response (e.g. for gzip content
  encoding). The code has been updated to take this into account and not
  throw if the header is not present.

  (#1682, #1683)
  [Veith Röthlingshöfer - @RunOrVeith]

- [Azure Blobs] Add support for authenticating with Azure AD by passing
  ``auth_type="azureAd"`` argument to the driver constructor.

  (#1663)
  [Brooke White - @brookewhite9]

- [GoDaddy] Fix ``list_zones()`` method so it doesn't throw if an item is
  missing ``expires`` attribute.
  (#1681)
  [Dave Grenier - @livegrenier]

Container

Changes in Apache Libcloud 3.5.1
--------------------------------

Common

Changes in Apache Libcloud 3.5.0
--------------------------------

Common
~~~~~~

- Support for Python 3.5 which has been EOL for more than a year now has been
  removed.

  If you still want to use Libcloud with Python 3.5, you should use an older
  release which still supports Python 3.5.
  (#1620)

- Update AWS error response parsing code so it also correctly handles error XML

- [OpenStack] OpenStack: Move floating IP functions to use network service
  instead of nova.

  This change affects all the floating ip related functions of the
  ``OpenStack_2_NodeDriver`` class. Two new classes have been added
  ``OpenStack_2_FloatingIpPool`` and ``OpenStack_2_FloatingIpAddress``.
  The main change applies to the FloatingIP class where ``node_id``
  property cannot be directly obtained from FloatingIP information and it
  must be gotten from the related Port information with the ``get_node_id``
  method.

  (#1623, #1624)

Changes in Apache Libcloud 3.4.1
--------------------------------

.. note::

  Libcloud depends on the ``requests`` library for performing HTTP(s) requests.

  Prior to ``requests`` v2.26.0, ``requests`` depended on ``chardet`` library
  which is licensed under LGPL (requests library itself is licensed under the
  Apache License 2.0 license).

  Since Libcloud is not an application, but a library which is usually used
  along many other libraries in the same (virtual) environment, we can't have
  a strict dependency on requests >= 2.26.0 since that would break a lot of
  installations where users already depend on and have an older version of
  requests installed.

  If you are using requests < 2.26.0 along the Libcloud library you are using
  version of chardet library (chardet is a direct dependency of the requests
  library) which license is not compatible with Apache Libcloud.

  If using a LGPL dependency is a problem for your application, you should
  ensure you are using requests >= 2.26.0.

  It's also worth noting that Apache Libcloud doesn't bundle any 3rd party
  dependencies with our release artifacts - we only provide source code
  artifacts on our website.

  When installing Libcloud from PyPi using pip, pip will also download and use
  the latest version of requests without the problematic chardet dependency,
  unless you already have older version of the requests library installed in
  the same environment where you also want to use Libcloud - in that case,
  Libcloud will use the dependency which is already available and installed.

Common
~~~~~~

- Fix a regression which was inadvertently introduced in v3.4.0 which prevented
  users from installing Libcloud under Python 3.5.

  Also revert ``requests`` minimum version required change and relax the
  minimum version requirement.

  Previous change would prevent Libcloud from being installed in environments
  where a conflicting (lower) version of requests library is required and
  already installed.

  As a library and not an application, Libcloud should specify as loose
  requirements as possible to prevent issues with conflicting requirements
  versions which could prevent Libcloud from being installed.
  (#1594)

Changes in Apache Libcloud 3.4.0
--------------------------------

Common
~~~~~~

- Fix how we set HTTP request timeout on the underlying requests session
  object. requests library has changed how timeout is set so our old
  code had no affect.

  (#1575, #1576)
  [Dimitris Galanis - @dimgal1]

- Update setup.py metadata and indicate we also support Python 3.10.

- [Google] Update Google authentication code so so we don't try to contact
  GCE metadata server when determining auth credentials type when oAuth 2.0 /
  installed app type of credentials are used.

  (#1591, #1621)

  Reported by Veith Röthlingshöfer - @RunOrVeith.

- [Google] Update Google authentication code so we don't try to retry failed
  request when trying to determine if GCE metadata server is available when
  retrying is enabled globally (either via module level constant or via
  environment variable value).

  This will speed up scenarios when trying is enabled globally, but GCE
  metadata server is not available and different type of credentials are used
  (e.g. oAuth 2).

  (#1591, #1621)

  Reported by Veith Röthlingshöfer - @RunOrVeith.

- Update minimum ``requests`` version we require as part for install_requires
  in setup.py to ``2.26.0`` when using Python >= 3.6.

  This was done to avoid licensing issue with transitive dependency
  (``chardet``).

  NOTE: requests ``>=2.25.1`` will be used when using Python 3.5 since 2.26.0
  doesn't support Python 3.5 anymore.

  For more context, see https://github.com/psf/requests/pull/5797.
  (#1594)

  Reported by Jarek Potiuk - @potiuk.

- Update HTTP connection and request retry code to be more flexible so user
  can specify and utilize custom retry logic which can be configured via
  connection retryCls attribute
  (``driver.connection.retryCls = MyRetryClass``).

  (#1558)
  [Veith Röthlingshöfer - @RunOrVeith]

- HTTP connection and request retry logic has been updated so we still respect
  ``timeout`` argument when retrying requests due to rate limit being reached
  errors. Previously, we would try to retry indefinitely on
  ``RateLimitReachedError`` exceptions.

- [OpenStack] Add support for using optional external cache for auth tokens

  This cache can be shared by multiple processes which results in much less
  tokens being allocated when many different instances / processes
  are utilizing the same set of credentials.

  This functionality can be used by implementing a custom cache class with
  caching logic (e.g. storing cache context on a local filesystem, external
  system such as Redis or similar) + using ``ex_auth_cache`` driver constructor
  argument.

Changes in Apache Libcloud 3.3.1
--------------------------------

Compute
~~~~~~~

- [EC2] Fix a regression introduced in v3.3.0 which would break EC2 driver for
  some regions because the driver would incorrectly try to use signature version
  2 for all the regions whereas some newer regions require signature version 4
  to be used.

  If you are unable to upgrade, you can use the following workaround, as long
  as you only use code which supports / works with authentication signature
  algorithm version 4:

  .. sourcecode:: python

    import libcloud.common.aws
    libcloud.common.aws.DEFAULT_SIGNATURE_VERSION = "4"

    # Instantiate affected driver here...

  Reported by @olegrtecno.
  (#1545, #1546)

- [EC2] Allow user to override which signature algorithm version is used for
  authentication by passing ``signature_version`` keyword argument to the EC2
  driver constructor.
  (#1546)

Storage
~~~~~~~

- [Google Cloud Storage] Fix a bug and make sure we also correctly handle
  scenario in ``get_object()`` method when the object size is returned in
  ``x-goog-stored-content-length`` and not ``content-length`` header.

  Reported by Veith Röthlingshöfer - @RunOrVeith.
  (#1544, #1547)

- [Google Cloud Storage] Update ``get_object()`` method and ensure
  ``object.size`` attribute is an integer and not a string. This way it's
  consistent with ``list_objects()`` method.
  (#1547)

Changes in Apache Libcloud 3.3.0
--------------------------------

Common
~~~~~~

- Fix a bug which would cause some prepared requests with empty bodies to be
  chunked which would cause some of the provider APIs such as OpenStack to
  return HTTP 400 errors.
  (#1487, #1488)
  [Michael Spagon - @mspagon]

- Optimize various code imports (remove unnecessary imports, make some lazy,
  etc.), so now importing most of the modules is around ~20-40% faster (~70
  vs ~140 ms) and in some cases such as EC2 driver even more.

  Now majority of the import time is spent in importing ``requests`` library.
  (#1519)
  [Tomaz Muraus]

- ``libcloud.pricing.get_size_price()`` function has been updated so it only
  caches pricing data in memory for the requested drivers.

  This way we avoid caching data in memory for drivers which may never be
  used.

  If you want to revert to old behavior (cache pricing data for all the
  drivers in memory), you can do that by passing ``cache_all=True`` argument
  to that function or set ``libcloud.pricing.CACHE_ALL_PRICING_DATA`` module
  level variable to ``True``.

  Passing ``cache_all=True`` might come handy in situations where you know the
  application will work with a lot of different drivers - this way you can
  avoid multiple disk reads when requesting pricing data for different drivers.
  (#1519)

  (#1494)
  [Dan Hunsaker - @danhunsaker]

- [GCE] Add support for creating nodes without a service account associated
  with them. Now when an empty list is passed for ``ex_service_accounts``
  argument, VM will be created without service account attached.

  For backward compatibility reasons, default value of ``None`` still means to
  use a default service account.

  (#1506)
  [@sergerdn]

- [EC2] Optimize EC2 driver imports and move all the large constant files to
  separate modules in ``libcloud/compute/constants/ec2_*.py`` files.

  Previously all the constants were contained in
  ``libcloud/compute/constants.py`` file. That file was imported when importing
  EC2 driver which would add unnecessary import time and memory overhead in case
  this data was not actually used.

  Now most of the large imports are lazy and only happen when that data is
  needed (aka when ``list_sizes()`` method is called).

  ``libcloud/compute/constants.py`` file has also been removed.
  (#1519)
  [Tomaz Muraus - @Kami]

- [S3] Update S3 and other drivers which are based on the S3 one (Google
  Storage, RGW, MinIO) to correctly throw ``ContainerAlreadyExistsError`` if
  container creation fails because container with this name already exists.

  Previously in such scenario, ``InvalidContainerNameError`` exception which
  does not comply with the Libcloud standard API was thrown.
  (#1528)
  [Tomaz Muraus - @Kami]

- Add new ``libcloud.common.base.ALLOW_PATH_DOUBLE_SLASHES`` module level
  variable.

  When this value is set to ``True`` (defaults to ``False`` for backward
  compatibility reasons), Libcloud won't try to sanitize the URL path and
  remove any double slashes.

  In most cases, this won't matter and sanitzing double slashes is a safer
  default, but in some cases such as S3, where double slashes can be a valid
  path (e.g. ``/my-bucket//path1/file.txt``), this option may come handy.

  When this variable is set to ``True``, behavior is also consistent with
  Libcloud versions prior to v2.0.0.

Changes in Apache Libcloud 3.2.0
--------------------------------

Common
~~~~~~

- ``libcloud.pricing.download_pricing_file`` function has been updated so it
  tries to download latest ``pricing.json`` file from our public read-only S3
  bucket.

  We now run a daily job as part of our CI/CD which scrapes provider prices and
  publishes the latest version of the ``pricing.json`` file to that bucket.

  For more information, please see
  https://libcloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/compute/pricing.html.

- [AWS EC2] Update script for scraping AWS EC2 pricing and update EC2 pricing
  data.
  (#1469)
  [Eis D. Zaster - @Eis-D-Z]

- [Deployment] Add new ``wait_period`` argument to the ``deploy_node`` method
  and default it to 5 seconds.

  This argument tells Libcloud how long to wait between each poll interval when
  waiting for a node to come online and have IP address assigned to it.

  Previously this argument was not exposed to the end user and defaulted to 3
  seconds which means it would be quite easy to reach rate limits with some
  providers when spinning up many instances concurrently using the same
  credentials.
  [Tomaz Muraus - @Kami]

- [Azure ARM] Add script for scraping Azure ARM instance pricing data.
  (#1470)
  [Eis D. Zaster - @Eis-D-Z]

- Update ``deploy_node()`` method to try to re-connect to the server if we
  receive "SSH connection not active" error when trying to run a deployment
  step.

  In some scenarios, connection may get closed by the server for whatever
  reason before finishing all the deployment steps and in this case only
  re-connecting would help and result in a successful outcome.
  [Tomaz Muraus - @Kami]

- [Deployment] Make ``FileDeployment`` class much faster and more efficient
  when working with large files or when running multiple ``FileDeployment``
  steps on a single node.

  This was achieved by implementing two changes on the ``ParamikoSSHClient``
  class:

  1. ``put()`` method now tries to re-use the existing open SFTP connection
     if one already exists instead of re-creating a new one for each
     ``put()`` call.
  2. New ``putfo()`` method has been added to the ``ParamikoSSHClient`` class
     which utilizes the underlying ``sftp.putfo()`` method.

     This method doesn't need to buffer the whole file content in memory and
     also supports pipelining which makes uploads much faster and more
     efficient for larger files.

  [Tomaz Muraus - @Kami]

- [Deployment] Add ``__repr__()`` and ``__str__()`` methods to all the
  Deployment classes.
  [Tomaz Muraus - @Kami]

- [Deployment] New ``keep_alive`` and ``use_compression`` arguments have been
  added to the ``ParamikoSSHClient`` class constructor.

  Right now those are not exposed yet to the ``deploy_node()`` method.
  [Tomaz Muraus - @Kami]

- [Deployment] Update ``ParamikoSSHClient.put()`` method so it returns a
  correct path when commands are being executed on a Windows machine.

  Also update related deployment classes so they correctly handle situation
  when we are executing commands on a Windows server.

Compute
~~~~~~~

- [GCE] Add latest Ubuntu image families (Ubuntu 20.04) to the driver.

  (#1449)
  [Christopher Lambert - @XN137]

- [DigitalOcean] Add ``location`` argument to the ``list_sizes()`` method.

  NOTE: Location filtering is performed on the client.
  (#1455, #1456)
  [RobertH1993]

- Fix ``deploy_node()`` so an exception is not thrown if any of the output
  (stdout / stderr) produced by the deployment script contains a non-valid utf-8
  character.

  Previously, user would see an error similar to "Failed after 3 tries: 'utf-8'
  codec can't decode byte 0xc0 in position 37: invalid start byte".

  And now we simply ignore byte sequences which we can't decode and include
  rest of the output which can be decoded.

  (#1459)
  [Tomaz Muraus - @Kami]

- Add new ``timeout`` argument to ``ScriptDeployment`` and
  ``ScriptFileDeployment`` class constructor.

  With this argument, user can specify an optional run timeout for that
  deployment step run.
  (#1445)
  [Tomaz Muraus - @Kami]

- [GiG G8] Fix retry functionality when creating port forwards and add support
  for automatically refresing the JWT auth token inside the connection class if
  it's about to expire in 60 seconds or less.
  (#1465)
  [Jo De Boeck - @grimpy]

- [Azure ARM] Update ``create_node`` so an exception is thrown if user passes
  ``ex_use_managed_disks=False``, but doesn't provide a value for the
  ``ex_storage_account`` argument.
  (#1448)
  [@antoinebourayne]

- [CloudFlare] Update driver to include the whole error chain the thrown
  exception message field.

  This makes various issues easier to debug since the whole error context is
  included.
  [Tomaz Muraus]

- [Gandi Live, CloudFlare, GCE] Add support for managing ``CAA`` record types.

  When creating a ``CAA`` record, data field needs to be in the following
  format:

  ``<flags> <tag> <domain name>``

  For example:

  - ``0 issue caa.example.com``
  - ``0 issuewild caa.example.com``
  - ``0 iodef https://example.com/reports``

  (#1463, #1464)
  [Tomaz Muraus]

- [Gandi Live] Don't throw if ``extra['rrset_ttl']`` argument is not passed
  to the ``create_record`` method.
  (#1463)
  [Tomaz Muraus]

Other
~~~~~

- Update ``contrib/Dockerfile`` which can be used for running tests so
  it only run tests with Python versions we support. This means dropping
  support for Python < 3.5 and adding support for Python 3.7 and 3.8.

  Also update it to use a more recent Ubuntu version (18.04) and Python 3
  for running tox target.

  class is populated when using auth version ``3.x_password`` and
  ``3.x_oidc_access_token``.

  (#1436)
  [@lln-ijinus, Tomaz Muraus)

- [OpenStack] Update OpenStack identity driver so a custom project can be
  selected using ``domain_name`` keyword argument containing a project id.

  Previously this argument value could only contain a project name, now the
  value will be checked against project name and id.

  (#1439)
  [Miguel Caballer - @micafer]

~~~~~~~

- [GCE] Update ``create_node()`` method so it throws an exception if node
  location can't be inferred and location is not specified by the user (
  either by passing ``datacenter`` constructor argument or by passing
  ``location`` argument to the method).

  Reported by Kevin K. - @kbknapp.

  [Tomaz Muraus]

- [GiG G8] Add new driver for GiG G8 provider (https://gig.tech/).
  (#1437)
  [Jo De Boeck - @grimpy]

- Add new ``at_exit_func`` argument to ``deploy_node()`` method. With this
  argument user can specify which function will be called before exiting
  with the created node in question if the deploy process has been canceled
  after the node has been created, but before the method has fully finished.

  This comes handy since it simplifies various cleanup scenarios.

Storage
~~~~~~~

- Add new ``download_object_range`` and ``download_object_range_as_stream``
  methods for downloading part of the object content (aka range downloads) to
  the base storage API.

  Currently those methods are implemented for the local storage Azure Blobs,
  CloudFiles, S3 and any other provider driver which is based on the S3 one
  (such as Google Storage and DigitalOcean Spaces).

- Add type annotations for the base storage API.
  (#1410)
  [Clemens Wolff - @c-w]

- [Google Storage] Update the driver so it supports service account HMAC
  credentials.

  There was a bug in the code where we used the user id length check to
  determine the account type and that code check didn't take service
  account HMAC credentials (which contain a longer string) into account.

Changes in Apache Libcloud v2.8.2
---------------------------------

Compute
~~~~~~~

- Add support for Ed25519 private keys for ``deploy_node()`` functionality
  when using paramiko >= 2.2.0.
  (#1445)
  [Tomaz Muraus - @Kami]

- Fix ``deploy_node()`` so it correctly propagates an exception is a private key
  which is used is password protected, but no password is specified.

  Previously it incorrectly tried to retry on such exception. This means the
  exception would only bubble up after all the retry attempts have been
  exhausted.

  ``SSHCommandTimeoutError`` exception (exception which is thrown when a
  command which is running on remote host times out).
  (#1445)
  [Tomaz Muraus - @Kami]

- Add new ``timeout`` argument to ``ScriptDeployment`` and
  ``ScriptFileDeployment`` class constructor.

  With this argument, user can specify an optional run timeout for that
  deployment step run.
  (#1445)

  works correctly under Python 3 when ``response.read()`` function returns
  unicode and not bytes.

  (#1430)
  [Tomaz Muraus]

Compute
~~~~~~~

- [GCE] Fix ``list_nodes()`` method so it correctly handles pagination
  and returns all the nodes if there are more than 500 nodes available
  in total.

  Previously, only first 500 nodes were returned.

  Reported by @TheSushiChef.

- [EC2] Fix ``ex_userdata`` keyword argument in the ``create_node()`` method
  being ignored / not working correctly.

  NOTE: This regression has been inadvertently introduced in v2.8.0.
  (#1426)
  [Dan Chaffelson - @Chaffelson]

- [EC2] Update ``create_volume`` method to automatically select first available
  availability zone if one is not explicitly provided via ``location`` argument.
  [Tomaz Muraus]

Storage
~~~~~~~

- [AWS S3] Fix upload object code so uploaded data MD5 checksum check is not
  performed at the end of the upload when AWS KMS server side encryption is
  used.

  If AWS KMS server side object encryption is used, ETag header value in the
  response doesn't contain data MD5 digest so we can't perform a checksum
  check.

  Reported by Jonathan Harden - @jfharden.
  (#1401, #1406)
  [Tomaz Muraus - @Kami]

- [Google Storage] Fix a bug when uploading an object would fail and result
  in 401 "invalid signature" error when object mime type contained mixed
  casing and when S3 Interoperability authentication method was used.

  Reported by Will Abson - wabson.
  (#1417, #1418)
  [Tomaz Muraus]

- Fix ``upload_object_via_stream`` method so "Illegal seek" errors which
  can arise when calculating iterator content hash are ignored. Those errors
  likely indicate that the underlying file handle / iterator is a pipe which
  doesn't support seek and that the error is not fatal and we should still
  proceed.

  Reported by Per Buer - @perbu.

- [CloudFlare] Fix ``export_zone_to_bind_format`` method.

  Previously it threw an exception, because ``record.extra`` dictionary
  didn't contain ``priority`` key.

  Reported by James Montgomery - @gh-jamesmontgomery.
  (#1428, #1429)
  [Tomaz Muraus]

Changes in Apache Libcloud v2.8.0
---------------------------------

Common
~~~~~~

- Fix a regression with ``get_driver()`` method not working if ``provider``
  argument value was a string (e.g. using ``get_driver('openstack')``
  instead of ``get_driver(Provider.OPENSTACK)``).

  Only officially supported and recommended approach still is to use
  ``Provider.FOO`` enum type constant, but since the string notation was
  unofficially supported in the past, we will still support it until the next
  major release.

  Reported by @dpeschman.
  (#1391, #1390)
  [Tomaz Muraus]

- Include ``py.typed`` data file to signal that this package contains type
  annotations / hints.

  NOTE: At the moment, type annotations are only available for the base
  compute API.
  [Tomaz Muraus]

- Fix universal wheel METADATA and ensure conditional dependencies
  (backports.ssl_match_hostname, typing, enum34) are handled correctly.

  Reported by Adam Terrey (@arterrey).
  (#1392, #1393)
  [Tomaz Muraus]

Compute
~~~~~~~

- [DigitalOcean] Fix ``attach_volume`` and ``detach_volume`` methods.
  Previously those two methods incorrectly passed volume id instead of
  volume name to the API. (#1380)
  [@mpempekos]

- [GCE] Add ``ex_disk_size`` argument to the ``create_node`` method.
  (#1386, #1388)
  [Peter Yu - @yukw777]

- [VMware vCloud] Various improvements, fixes and additions to the driver.
  (#1373)
  [OpenText Corporation]

- Update ``deploy_node()`` method so it now only passes non-deploy node
  keyword arguments + ``auth`` argument to the underlying ``create_node()``
  method. Previously it also passed ``deploy_node()`` specific arguments
  such as ``deploy``, ``ssh_username``, ``max_tries``, etc. to it.

  Because of that, a lot of the compute drivers which support deploy
  functionality needed to use ``**kwargs`` in ``create_node()`` method
  signature which made code hard to read and error prone.

  Also update various affected drivers to explicitly declare supported
  arguments in the  ``create_node()`` method signature (Dummy, Abiquo,
  Joyent, Bluebox, OpenStack, Gandy, VCL, vCloud, CloudStack, GoGrid
  HostVirtual, CloudSigma, ElasticStack, RimuHosting, SoftLayer, Voxel,
  Vpsnet, KTUcloud, BrightBox, ECP, OpenNebula, UPcloud).

  As part of this change, also various issues with invalid argument names
  were identified and fixed.
  (#1389)
  [Tomaz Muraus]

- Add MyPy type annotations for ``create_node()`` and ``deploy_node()``
  method.
  (#1389)
  [Tomaz Muraus]

- [GCE] Update ``deploy_node()`` method so it complies with the base compute
  API and accepts ``deploy`` argument.

  This method now also takes all the same keyword arguments which original
  ``create_node()`` takes.
  (#1387)
  [Peter Yu - @yukw777, Tomaz Muraus]

- [Common] To make debugging and troubleshooting easier, add ``__repr__``
  and ``__str__`` method to the ``ScriptDeployment`` class.
  [Tomaz Muraus]

- [Common] Add type annotations / hints for rest of the base compute API
  classes and methods.
  [Tomaz Muraus]

Storage
~~~~~~~

- [AWS S3] Make sure ``host`` driver constructor argument has priority
  over ``region`` argument.

  This means if you specify ``host`` and ``region`` argument, host won't be
  inferred from the region, but ``host`` argument will be used for the actual
  connection host value.
  (#1384, #1383)
  [@gluap]

Changes in Apache Libcloud v2.7.0
---------------------------------

General
~~~~~~~

- Test code with Python 3.8 and advertise that we also support Python 3.8.
  (#1371, #1374)
  [Tomaz Muraus]

Common
~~~~~~

- [OpenStack] Fix OpenStack project scoped token authentication. The driver
  constructors now accept ``ex_tenant_domain_id`` argument which tells
  authentication service which domain id to use for the scoped authentication
  token. (#1367)
  [kshtsk]

Compute
~~~~~~~

- Introduce type annotations for the base compute API methods. This means you
  can now leverage mypy to type check (with some limitations) your code which
  utilizes Libcloud compute API standard API methods.

  Keep in mind that at this point, type annotations are only available for
  standard compute API methods.
  (#1306)
  [Tomaz Muraus]

- [Azure ARM] Fix ``attach_volume`` method and allow maximum of 64 disks to be
  added when LUN is not specified. Previously there was a bug and only a
  maximum of 63 disks could be added.
  (#1372)
  [Palash Gandhi - @palashgandhi]

- New ``start_node`` and ``stop_node`` methods have been added to the base
  Libcloud compute API NodeDriver class.

  A lot of the existing compute drivers already implemented that functionality
  via extension methods (``ex_start_node``, ``ex_stop_node``) so it was decided
  to promote those methods to be part of the standard Libcloud compute API and
  update all the affected drivers.

  For backward compatibility reasons, existing ``ex_start`` and ``ex_stop_node``
  methods will still work until a next major release.

  (#1375, #1364)
  [Tomaz Muraus, @emakarov]

 - [GCE] Add new ``ex_set_volume_labels`` method for managing volume labels to
   the driver.
   (#1376)
   [Rob Zimmerman - @zimventures]

- [EC2] Add support for new ``inf1.*`` instance types.
  [Tomaz Muraus]

Storage
~~~~~~~

- [S3] Update S3 driver so a single driver class can be used for different
  regions.

  Region which is used is controled by the ``region`` driver constructor
  argument.

  Previously, that driver followed "driver class per region" approach. That
  approach will be deprecated and removed in a future release.

  For more information, please refer to the Upgrade Notes documentation section.

  (#1371)
  [Tomaz Muras]

- [S3] Update the driver to throw more user-friendly error message if user is
  using driver for a region X, but trying to upload / download object to / from
  a region Y. (#1371)
  [Tomaz Muras]

Changes in Apache Libcloud 2.6.1
--------------------------------

Compute
~~~~~~~

- [Packet] Update ``list_sizes`` method so it accepts ``ex_project_id`` argument
  and works with project API tokens. (#1351) [Dimitris Moraitis - @d-mo]

- [GCE] Fix ``GCEProject.set_common_instance_metadata`` and
  ``GCEproject.set_usage_export_bucket`` method. (#1354)
  [Aitor Zabala - @aitorzabala, Tomaz Muraus - @Kami]

- [GCE] Add ``sync`` / ``ex_sync`` argument to the ``ex_stop_node``,
  ``ex_start_node`` and ``destroy_node`` method. When this argument is set to
  ``False``, method will return immediately without waiting polling and waiting
  for a long running API operation to finish before returning. For backward
  compatibility reasons, it defaults to ``True``. (#1357)
  [Rob Zimmerman - zimventures]

- [GCE] Update list of image projects and add new ``centos-8`` and
  ``debian-10`` based images. (#1358)
  [Christopher Lambert - XN137]

- [OpenStack v2] Add new ``ex_image_ref`` argument to the ``create_volume``
  method. This way bootable volumes can be created from specific images.
  (#1363)

Changes in Apache Libcloud 2.6.0
--------------------------------

General
~~~~~~~

- [OpenStack] Update OpenStack identity driver so a custom project can be
  selected using ``domain_name`` keyword argument. Previously, that wasn't
  possible and the first project which was returned by the API was always
  selected. (#1293)
  [Miguel Caballer - @micafer]

- Add new ``extra`` attribute to the base ``NodeLocation`` class. (#1282)
  [Dimitris Moraitis - @d-mo]

- Remove various code patterns which were in place for supporting multiple
  Python versions, including 2.5 and 2.6. Libcloud hasn't supported Python <
  2.7 for a while now, so we can remove that code. (#1307)
  [Tomaz Muraus]

  violations. (#1308)
  [Tomaz Muraus]

- [OpenStack] Remove unused variable in parse_error (#1260)

  private keys in PEM format with a header which paramiko doesn't recognize
  into a format which paramiko recognizes.

  NOTE: Paramiko only supports keys in PEM format. This means keys which start
  with "----BEGIN <TYPE> PRIVATE KEY-----". Keys in PKCS#8 and newer OpenSSH
  format are not supported.

  For more information, see https://libcloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/compute/deployment.html#supported-private-ssh-key-types

  parsed as json docs. In that case the response headers also contain the value
  'transfer-encoding':'chunked'. That kind of response can now be parsed
  properly by the DockerResponse parse_body method. Also, another small change
  is that previously the id of the new image was marked in the json document as

  `volume_type`, newer OpenStack versions would throw errors. The OpenStack
  driver will now only post those arguments if non-`NoneType`.
  (#857)
  [Allard Hoeve]

- When fetching the node details of a non-existing node, OpenStack would raise
  a `BaseHTTPError` instead of returning `None`, as was intended. Fixed tests
  and code.
  (#864)

  driver will now only post thost arguments if they are non-`NoneType`.
  (#866)
  [Allard Hoeve]

- StorageVolumeSnapshot now has an attribute `name` that has the name of the
  snapshot if the provider supports it. This used to be `.extra['name']`, but
  that is inconsistent with `Node` and `StorageVolume`. The `extra` dict still
  holds `name` for backwards compatibility.
  (#867)
  [Allard Hoeve]

  (#488, LIBCLOUD-682)
  [Greg Hill]

- StorageVolume objects now have an attribute `state` that holds a
  state variable that is standardized state across drivers. Drivers that
  currently support the `state` attribute are OpenStack and EC2.
  StorageVolume objects returned by drivers that do not support the
  attribute will have a `state` of `None`. When a provider returns a state
  that is unknown to the driver, the state will be `UNKNOWN`. Please report
  such states. A couple of drivers already put state fields in the `extra`
  fields of StorageVolumes. These fields were kept for
  backwards-compatibility and for reference.
  (#476)
  [Allard Hoeve]

- StorageVolume objects on EC2 and OpenStack now have a key called snapshot_id
  in their extra dicts containing the snapshot ID the volume was based on.

- Add support for creating volumes based on snapshots to EC2 and OS drivers.
  Also modify signature of base NodeDriver.create_volume to reflect the fact
  that all drivers expect a StorageSnapshot object as the snapshot argument.
  (#467, LIBCLOUD-672)
  [Allard Hoeve]

- VolumeSnapshots now have a `created` attribute that is a `datetime`
  field showing the creation datetime of the snapshot. The field in
  VolumeSnapshot.extra containing the original string is maintained, so
  this is a backwards-compatible change.

- Add AURORA compute driver
  (LIBCLOUD-641, #477)

  node or a storage volume.
  (LIBCLOUD-676, #482)

  Also improve how reading a file in chunks works with drivers which support
  chunked encoding - always try to fill a chunk with CHUNK_SIZE bytes instead
  of directly streaming the chunk which iterator returns.

  Previously, if iterator returned 1 byte in one iteration, we would directly
  send this as a single chunk to the API.

  and use a new, more efficient generator based approach which doesn't
  require the iterator to be pre-exhausted and buffering all of the values
  in memory.

  Existing list_* methods which previously used LazyList class are
  preserving the old behavior and new iterate_* methods which use a new
  generator based approach have been added. (LIBCLOUD-254)
