Libcloud 0.11.4 released

We are pleased to announce the release of Libcloud 0.11.4!

This release is a bug fix release and contains no new features.

Next release which will contain new features and some backward incompatible changes will happen in the 0.12.x series in the next couple of weeks.

Bug fixes:

  • Fix some of tests failures which happened in Python 3.3 due to randomized dictionary ordering.
  • Fix a bug where a numeric instead of a string value was used for the content-length header in VCloud driver.
  • Don’t ignore ex_force_service_region argument in the CloudFiles driver.
  • Fix a bug which caused the connection to not be closed when using Python 2.6 and calling get_object on an object which doesn’t exist in the S3 driver.
  • Update ‘if type’ checks in the update_record methods to behave correctly if users passes in RecordType.A with a value of 0 - if type is not None.
