I am pleased to announce the availability of Apache Deltacloud 0.4.1.

Apache Deltacloud is a RESTful cloud abstraction API. The release
consists both of the API server and a Ruby client.

The release can be found at
http://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/deltacloud/0.4.1/ Gems and RPM's
for Fedora will become available shortly.

Many thanks to all those who contributed patches, reported bugs, and
asked for features. It's great to see that the list of committers and
patch contributors is steadily increasing.

Overview of the changes for this release:

  * change how dependencies are managed: canonical deps are now in the
    gemspecs

Server:
  * clarify how user_data injection should work; make sure all drivers
    accept base64 encoded data and make the decoded version available to
    instance
  * fix URL generation so that server works when run behind a reverse proxy
  * init script: honor defaults from sysconfig file
  * init script: fix 'status', properly background deltacloudd
  * deltacloudd: support verbose option
  * Drivers:
    + Condor
      - use UUIDTools instead of UUID to simplify deps
    + Google
      - new driver for Google storage API
    + RHEV-M
      - treat status as case-insensitive
      - inject data through a virtual floppy rather than modifying
        the instance storage directly
    + vSphere
      - report minimum of max memory across all hosts in a data center, so
        that instances can be placed on any host
      - user_data is placed in file 'deltacloud-user-data.txt'

Client:
  * fix parsing of enums in HWP properties
  * fix handling of float value for number of vCPU in HWP
