August 3rd 2021: Add IoT Data Plane and an Async Caching Credentials Provider

[jdisanti]

IoT Data Plane is now available! If you discover it isn't functioning as expected, please let us know!

This week also sees the addition of a robust async caching credentials provider. Take a look at the STS example to see how to use it.

To upgrade to the new release, update tag to v0.0.14-alpha:

[dependencies]
# eg. S3:
aws-sdk-s3 = { git = "https://github.com/awslabs/aws-sdk-rust", tag = "v0.0.14-alpha" }

New This Week

• 🎉 Add IoT Data Plane (smithy-rs#624)
• 🎉 Add LazyCachingCredentialsProvider to aws-auth for use with expiring credentials, such as STS AssumeRole. Update STS example to use this new provider (smithy-rs#578, smithy-rs#595)
• 🐛 Correctly encode HTTP Checksums using base64 instead of hex. Fixes S3 deleteObjects returns a signing error #164. (smithy-rs#615)
• Overhaul serialization/deserialization of numeric/boolean types. This resolves issues around serialization of NaN/Infinity and should also reduce the number of allocations required during serialization. (smithy-rs#618)
• Update SQS example to clarify usage of FIFO vs. standard queues (Updated SQS example to specify it works with FIFO #162, @trevorrobertsjr)
