aws.signature 0.4.4

CRAN release: 2018-07-27

• Allow use of ECS metadata where available. (h/t @jon-mago #23, #30)

aws.signature 0.4.3

• signature_v4_auth() and signature_v2_auth() now returns all inputs to facilitate using the return value in constructing an HTTP request.
• Updated documentation.

aws.signature 0.4.2

• Fixed a bug in the default datetime argument in several functions. (#28, h/t @yansonz)

aws.signature 0.4.1

CRAN release: 2018-04-09

• Removed some tests from execution on CRAN.

aws.signature 0.4.0

• read_credentials() now trims excess whitespace from profile names. (#22, h/t Paul Ingles)
• locate_credentials() returns region = default_region even when no other credentials are found.
• canonical_request() now correctly trims whitespace.
• The test suite was updated substantially, though not all tests run on CRAN.

aws.signature 0.3.7

• On namespace load, the package now checks for the presence of environment variables and, if absent, attempts to call use_credentials() (with defaults) to that behavior is more similar to other AWS client libraries. (https://github.com/cloudyr/aws.s3/pull/184, h/t Dan Tenenbaum)
• The profile argument of use_credentials() now defaults to Sys.getenv("AWS_PROFILE", "default") for consistency with other AWS client libraries.

aws.signature 0.3.6

• locate_credentials() now attempts to look in instance metadata for a region, when called from an EC2 instance. (see https://github.com/cloudyr/aws.s3/issues/151)
• The set of fall backs for values of region have been standardized and documented for locate_credentials().
• Updated documentation to describe the need for aws.ec2metadata on EC2 instances.

aws.signature 0.3.5

CRAN release: 2017-07-01

• signature_v4_auth() and signature_v2_auth() now both return a Region value in their response list, as identified by locate_credentials().

aws.signature 0.3.4

• Fixed a bug related to extracting credentials from environment variables. (https://github.com/cloudyr/aws.s3/issues/142, https://github.com/cloudyr/aws.s3/issues/143)
• Fixed a bug related to extracting credentials from EC2 instance metadata (https://github.com/cloudyr/aws.s3/issues/144, h/t Daniele Rapati, Will Bowditch)
• Bumped aws.ec2metadata suggestion to 0.1.2.

aws.signature 0.3.3

• Fixed a bug in locate_credentials() caused by trying to retrieve EC2 instance metadata from a non-EC2 machine on which the aws.ec2metadata package was installed.
• Expanded test suite to cover more of locate_credentials() behavior.

aws.signature 0.3.2

CRAN release: 2017-06-19

• CRAN Release.
• Added some minor tests.

aws.signature 0.3.1

• Changed the precedence of credential sources to: user-supplied values, EC2 instance metadata, environment variables, local credentials file, and global credentials file. (#11)

aws.signature 0.3.0

• Added a locate_credentials() function to walk through a hierarchy of possible credential locations, beginning with user-supplied values, then environment variables, local then global credentials “.aws/credentials” files, and finally (if applicable) an EC2 role for the currently running instance. (#11)

aws.signature 0.2.9

CRAN release: 2017-04-28

• Add standard AWS test suite: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/signature-v4-test-suite.html. (#2)
• Expose and set default key, secret, and region values in signature_v4_auth.
