Libcloud is a Python library that abstracts away the differences among
multiple cloud provider APIs. It allows users to manage cloud services
(servers, storage, load balancers, DNS) offered by many different providers
through a single, unified and easy to use API.

We are pleased to announce the release of Libcloud 0.12.1!

This release includes many new features, improvements and bug-fixes.

Release highlights:

- New more efficient generator based approach for iterating over paginated
  collections.

- New generator based method for iterating over containers
  (iterate_containers).

- Old ENUM style provided constants have been replaced with a string
version.
  This allows users to dynamically register new providers using new
set_driver
  method.

- Support for multipart uploads in the Amazon S3 storage driver.

- New load balancer driver for Amazon Load Balancing (ELB) service.

- New storage driver for Azure Blog storage

- New "local storage" storage driver

- Support for multipart uploads in the S3 driver

- Allow user to specify which CA cert is used for verifying server SSL
  certificate by setting "SSL_CERT_FILE" environment variable

- Drivers which use xmlrplic library now use Libcloud HTTP layer for making
  HTTP requests. This means those drivers now support LIBCLOUD_DEBUG and SSL
  cert validation functionality
