What's New
This What's New is associated with the 2006-03-01 release of Amazon S3. This guide was last updated on February 08, 2010.
The following table describes the important changes since the last release of the Amazon S3 Developer Guide.
| Change | Description | Release Date |
|---|---|---|
| Object Versioning | This release introduces object Versioning. All objects now have a key and a version. If you enable versioning for a bucket, Amazon S3 gives all objects added to a bucket a unique version ID. This feature enables you to recover from unintended overwrites and deletions. For more information, see GET Object, DELETE Object, PUT Object, PUT Object Copy, or POST Object. The SOAP API does not support versioned objects. | 8 February 2010 |
| New Region supported | Amazon S3 now supports the US-West (Northern California) Region. The new
endpoint is s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com. For more
information, see How to Select a Region for Your Buckets. |

| C# Library Support | AWS now provides Amazon S3 C# libraries, sample code, tutorials, and other resources for software developers who prefer to build applications using language-specific APIs instead of REST or SOAP. These libraries provide basic functions (not included in the REST or SOAP APIs), such as request authentication, request retries, and error handling so that it's easier to get started. | 11 November 2009 |
| Technical documents reorganized | The API reference has been split out of the Amazon S3 Developer Guide. Now, on the documentation landing page, http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?externalID=123&categoryID=48 you can select the document you want to view. When viewing the documents online, the links in one document will take you, when appropriate, to one of the other guides. | 16 September 2009 |
