|---|---|
Object Versioning |
This release introduces object Versioning. All objects now have a key and a version ID. 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 have multiple versions of the same object in a bucket and to recover from unintended overwrites and deletions. |
Known Issues
The following table describes irregular behavior seen in this release..
| Issue | Description | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| The CommonPrefixes result element can include keys whose latest version is a delete marker. | This issue was resolved on 3/11/2010. When performing a GET Bucket request with a delimiter parameter on a versioning-enabled or versioning-suspended Amazon S3 bucket, the CommonPrefixes result element can include keys whose latest version is a delete marker. | This issue does not apply to buckets that have never been enabled for versioning. |
| x-amz-mfa request header not required when enabling MFA Delete. | This issue was resolved on 2/18/2010. When a user attempts to enable MFA Delete, the system does not return an error response if the x-amz-mfa header element is omitted from the PUT /?versioning request. An x-amz-mfa header should be required to enable MFA Delete. |
This issue applies to buckets that have been enabled for versioning with MFA Delete. |
| Incorrect error response for incorrect serial number in x-amz-mfa value. | This issue was resolved on 2/18/2010. If a user specifies an incorrect serial number within a request’s <x-amz-mfa> header, Amazon S3 will return a 500 error response. The system should return a 400 error response for requests that contain incorrect serial numbers. |
This issue applies to buckets that have been enabled for versioning with MFA Delete. |
