[ANNOUNCE] S3QL 5.2.0 has been released

[Nikolaus Rath]

Dear all,

I am pleased to announce a new release of S3QL, version 5.2.0.

From the changelog:

S3QL 5.2.0 (2024-04-19)
=======================

* S3QL now needs Python 3.8+. Python 3.7 is end of life as of 2023-06-27.

* S3QL does not depend on packaging anymore. It was an undocumented dependency
for a simple version compare of the Swift backend. This compare is not
necessary anymore.

* There is a new s3c4 backend, suitable for storage providers offering an
S3 compatible API with v4 signatures.

The following people have contributed code to this release:

Daniel Jagszent <dan...@jagszent.de>
