Release: AWS SDK for Java 1.3.1

You can now use Auto Scaling group tags to organize your Auto Scaling resources and provide additional information for your Auto Scaling group such as software version, role, or location information.

Tag tag = new Tag()
    .withKey("software-version")
    .withValue("1.1")
    .withResourceId("production-auto-scaling-group")
    .withResourceType("auto-scaling-group")
    .withPropagateAtLaunch(true);
autoScaling.createOrUpdateTags(new CreateOrUpdateTagsRequest().withTags(tag));
			

Amazon S3's Object Expiration function allows you to define rules to schedule the removal of your objects after a pre-defined time period. The rules are specified in the Lifecycle Configuration policy that you apply to a bucket.

The InputStream returned by the Amazon S3Object class now contains an abort() method that will immediately terminate the connection to Amazon S3. This can be more efficient than calling close when an object is only partially read.

Amazon DynamoDB clients created with long-lived AWS credentials will now share session tokens between clients.

The InputStream returned by the Amazon S3Object class now contains an abort() method that will immediately terminate the connection to Amazon S3. This can be more efficient than calling close when an object is only partially read.

Calling the shutdown() method on asynchronous clients in the AWS SDK for Java now correctly shuts down the client's thread pool.
