The Apache CloudStack project is pleased to announce the immediate availability
of the Apache CloudStack CloudMonkey 5.0.0 release.

Apache CloudStack's CloudMonkey is a Python-based command line utility for
interacting with Apache CloudStack IaaS clouds. The software provides
an interactive shell environment that includes command discovery,
auto-completion and multiple output formats. CloudMonkey can also be
used as a simple command line utility, which can be easily integrated
into larger shell scripts.

This is the first independently released version of CloudMonkey provided
by the Apache CloudStack project community. This release includes
pre-cached API command syntax for Apache CloudStack versions up to
and including CloudStack 4.2.0.

The release can be obtained from the CloudMonkey section of the Apache
CloudStack download page:

http://cloudstack.apache.org/downloads.html

Additionally, the 5.0.0 release is available via the Python Package
Index (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cloudmonkey) and may be installed
via pip. Further instructions may be found on the Apache CloudStack
download page.
