Changes in Apache Libcloud in development

Common

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]

Compute

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) [Veith Röthlingshöfer - @RunOrVeith]

Storage

[Amazon S3] Add support for af-south-1 region. (#1821) [@alier350]

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]

DNS

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

Container

[Kubernetes] Various improvements in the driver - implement list methods for nodes, services, deployments, node/pod metrics, add more fields to Pods and Containers, rename clusters to namespaces, add type annotations.

(#1667) [Dimitris Galanis - @dimgal1]

Other

Test code has been updated to utilize stdlib unittest.mock module instead of 3rd party PyPi mock package.

(GITHUG-1684) Reported by @pgajdos.

Changes in Apache Libcloud 3.5.1

Common

Update code which retries failed HTTP requests to also retry failed "raw" requests and make sure we also wrap and retry piece of code where Response class is instantiated and exceptions can be thrown. [Daniel Draper - @Germandrummer92] (#1592)

Compute

[GCE] Retrieve regions and zones lazily when they are first accessed (via self.zone_{dict,list} and self.region_{dict,list} attribute) instead of retrieving them inside the driver constructor.

(#1661, #1661) [Dimitris Galanis - @dimgal1]

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 responses without a namespace in the response body.

In some scenarios AWS returns error response without the namespace in the body and previous version of the code didn't handle that scenario. [Tomaz Muraus - @Kami]

Compute

[EC2] Add support for new ap-east-1 region. (#1628) [Arturo Noha - @r2ronoha, Tomaz Muraus - @Kami]
[OpenStack] Add Server Groups functions in OpenStack driver. (#1629) [Miguel Caballer - @micafer]
[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. (#1638) [Miguel Caballer - @micafer]
[OpenStack] Avoid raising exception if ip is not found. (#1595) [Miguel Caballer - @micafer]
[Azure ARM] Add option to create node from Compute Gallery image. (#1643) [Robert Harris - @rgharris]
[Azure ARM] Add create node OS disk delete option. (#1644) [Robert Harris - @rgharris]
[EC2] Add missing creation_date NodeImage extra. (#1641) [Thomas JOUANNOT - @mazerty]
[GCE] Allow credentials argument which is provided to the driver constructor to also be either a Python dictionary with the credentials object or a JSON string with the serialized credentials object. That's in addition to supporting passing in path to the credentials file or string PEM version of the key. (#1214) [@bverschueren]
[OpenStack] Personality field in the server requests of OpenStack must be optional (#1649) [Miguel Caballer - @micafer]
[OpenStack] headers field are overwrited in case of POST of PUT methods in OpenStack connection (#1650) [Miguel Caballer - @micafer]
[EC2] Update supported EC2 regions and instance sizes and add support for eu-south-1 region. (#1656) [Arturo Noha - @r2ronoha]
[OpenStack] Add new ex_force_microversion constructor argument with which user can specify which micro version to use ( https://docs.openstack.org/api-guide/compute/microversions.html). (#1647, #1648)
[GCE] Add paginated_request() method to GCEConnection and update ex_list_project_images() method to utilize it. (#1646, #1655) [Miguel Caballer - @micafer]
[OpenStack] Fix regression which was inadvertently introduced in #1557 which would cause some OpenStack authentication methods to not work and result in an exception.

Reported by @LanderOtto via #1659. (#1659, #1660) [Tomaz Muraus - @Kami]

Storage

[Local Storage] Fix object name prefix based filtering in the list_container_objects() method.

A change in the previous release inadvertently introduced a regression which changed the behavior so the object name prefix based filtering didn't work correctly in all the scenarios.

Reported by @louis-van-der-stam. (#1631) [Tomaz Muraus - @Kami]
[Local Storage] Objects returned by the list_container_objects() method are now returned sorted in the ascending order based on the object name.

Previously the order was arbitrary and not stable and consistent across different environments and runs.

(#1631) [Tomaz Muraus - @Kami]
[Scaleway] Add new driver for the Scaleway Object Storage. (#1633) [@reixd]

Other

Also run unit tests under Python 3.10 + Pyjion on CI/CD. (#1626)
All the code has been reformatted using black v21.10b0 and we will enforce black code style for all the new code going forward.

Developers can re-format their code using new black tox target (black -etox) and they can check if there are any violations by running black-check target (tox -eblack-check). (#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 psf/requests#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.

Storage

[Azure Blobs] Respect Content-Encoding, Content-Language and Cache-Control headers when uploading blobs via stream.

Reported by Veith Röthlingshöfer - @RunOrVeith. (#1550)
[Azure Blobs] Enable the Azure storage driver to be used with Azure Government, Azure China, and Azure Private Link by setting the driver host argument to the endpoint suffix for the environment.

Reported by Melissa Kersh - @mkcello96 (#1551)
[Local Storage] Optimize iterate_container_objects method to perform early filtering if prefix argument is provided. (#1584) [@Ido-Levi]

Compute

[Equinix Metal] Various improvements to the driver.

(#1548) [Dimitris Galanis - @dimgal1]
[OpenStack] Fix error getting non existing description of Ports.

(#1543) [Miguel Caballer - @micafer]
[Outscale] Various updates to the driver. (#1549) [Tio Gobin - @tgn-outscale]
[Ovh] Fix driver so it doesn't throw if a node is in resizing state. (#1555) [Rob Juffermans - @robjuffermans]
[OpenStack] Support volume v3 API endpoint in OpenStack driver.

(#1561) [Miguel Caballer - @micafer]
[GCE] Get accelerators field in the GCE machineType.

(#1565) [Miguel Caballer - @micafer]
[OpenStack] Support updating allowed_address_pairs on OpenStack ports using ex_update_port method. (#1569) [@dpeschman]
[OpenStack] Enable to get Volume Quota details in OpenStack driver.

(#1586) [Miguel Caballer - @micafer]
[OpenStack] Add disabled property to OpenStack images.

(#1615) [Miguel Caballer - @micafer]
[CloudSigma] Various updates, improvements and new functionality in the driver (support for new regions, instance types, additional standard API an extension methods, etc.).

(#1558) [Dimitris Galanis - @dimgal1]
[OpenStack] Add binding:host_id value to the OpenStack port information. (#1492) [Miguel Caballer - @micafer]
[EC2] Add support for gp3 and io2 volume types. Also add ex_throughput argument to the create_volume method. (#1596) [Palash Gandhi - @palashgandhi]
[OpenStack] Add support for authenticating using application credentials. (#1597, #1598) [Daniela Bauer - @marianne013]
[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. (#1460, #1557) [@dpeschman]
[Vultr] Implement support for Vultr API v2 and update driver to use v2 by default. (#1609, #1610) [Dimitris Galanis - @dimgal1]

DNS

[CloudFlare] Enable authentication via API Tokens. [Clemens Wolff - @c-w]
[DigitalOcean] Fix create_record() and update_record() method and pass None instead of string value null for priority, port and weight parameters if they are not provided as method arguments. (#1570) [Gasper Vozel - @karantan]
[NSOne] Fix MX records and root domain handling. (#1571) [Gasper Vozel - @karantan]
[Vultr] Implement support for Vultr API v2 and update driver to use v2 by default. (#1609, #1610) [Dimitris Galanis - @dimgal1]

Other

Fix python_requires setup.py metadata item value. (#1606) [Michał Górny - @mgorny]
Update tox targets for unit tests to utilize pytest-xdist plugin to run tests in parallel in multiple processes to speed up the test runs. (#1625)

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:
```
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) [Tomaz Muraus]
Advertise Python 3.9 support in setup.py.

Compute

[GCE] Fix ex_set_image_labels method using incorrect API path. (#1485) [Poul Petersen - @petersen-poul]
[OpenStack] Fix error setting ex_force_XXX_url without setting ex_force_base_url. (#1492) [Miguel Caballer - @micafer]
[EC2] Update supported EC2 regions and instance sizes and add support for eu-north-1 region. (#1486) [Arturo Noha - @r2ronoha]
[Ovh] Add support for multiple regions to the driver. User can select a region (location) by passing location argument to the driver constructor (e.g. location=ca). (#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. (#1497, #1495) [David Tomaschik - Matir]
[VSphere] Add new VMware VSphere driver which utilizes pyvmomi library and works under Python 3.

If you want to use this driver, you need to install pyvmomi dependency - pip install pyvmomi (#1481) [Eis D. Zaster - @Eis-D-Z]
[OpenStack] Enable to get Quota Set detail. (#1495) [Miguel Caballer - @micafer]
[OpenStack] Add ex_get_size_extra_specs function to OpenStack driver. (#1517) [Miguel Caballer - @micafer]
[OpenStack] Enable to get Neutron Quota details in OpenStack driver. (#1514) [Miguel Caballer - @micafer]
[DigitalOcean] _node_node method now ensures image and size attributes are also set correctly and populated on the Node object. (#1507, #1508) [@sergerdn]
[Vultr] Make sure private_ips attribute on the Node object is correctly populated when listing nodes. Also add additional values to the node.extra dictionary. (#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]
[Packet / Equinix Metal] Packet driver has been renamed to Equinix Metal. If your code uses Packet.net driver, you need to update it as per example in Upgrade Notes documentation section. (#1511) [Dimitris Galanis - @dimgal1]
[OutScale] Add various extension methods to the driver. For information on available extenion methods, please refer to the driver documentation. (#1499) [@tgn-outscale]
[Linode] Add support for Linode's API v4. (#1504) [Dimitris Galanis - @dimgal1]

Deprecated lockfile library which is used by the Local Storage driver has been replaced with fasteners library. [Tomaz Muraus - @Kami]
[S3] Add support for us-gov-east-1 region. (#1509, #1510) [Andy Spohn - @spohnan]
[DigitalOcean Spaces] Add support for sfo2 regon. (#1525) [Cristian Rasch - @cristianrasch]
[MinIO] Add new driver for MinIO object storage (https://min.io). (#1528, #1454) [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.

[OpenStack] Add ex_get_network() to the OpenStack driver to make it possible to retrieve a single network by using the ID.

(#1474) [Sander Roosingh - @SanderRoosingh]
[OpenStack] Fix pagination in the list_images() method and make sure method returns all the images, even if the result is spread across multiple pages.

(#1467) [Thomas Bechtold - @toabctl]
[GCE] Add script for scraping GCE pricing data and improve price addition in _to_node_size method. (#1468) [Eis D. Zaster - @Eis-D-Z]
[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. [Arthur Kamalov, Tomaz Muraus]
[Outscale] Add a new driver for the Outscale provider. Existing Outscale driver utilizes the EC2 compatible API and this one utilizes native Outscale API. (#1476) [Tio Gobin - @tgn-outscale]
[KubeVirt] Add new methods for managing services which allows users to expose ports for the VMs (ex_list_services, ex_create_service, ex_delete_service). (#1478) [Eis D. Zaster - @Eis-D-Z]

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.

[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.

[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]

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.

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 id, but now it's marked as sha256, so the regex used to discover the id has been updated.
