Release: AWS SDK for Java 1.3.12

The latest API update to Amazon SES allows you to use Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) to receive notifications about bounces and complaints for emails that you send. Once configured, you will receive bounce and complaint feedback notifications for emails through Amazon SNS in a machine-readable format that you can process programmatically.

For more information, see Feedback Notifications via Amazon SNS.

Added Flow Framework support for easy cron-like scheduling of tasks, cron samples, and miscellaneous bug fixes and framework improvements.

The new EncryptionMaterialsProvider interface allows you to easily (and safely, i.e. without risk of race conditions) build dynamic encryption materials provider implementations that work with the Amazon S3 Encryption Client.

The no-argument, default constructor in the last version of the AWS SDK for Java introduced a bug that prevented the client from working in an anonymous mode. This has been fixed in this version of the SDK.

The Amazon Elastic MapReduce StepFactory utility has been updated to fix a bug when using the "latest" version to launch a Hive script.

The InstanceProfileCredentialsProvider in the last version of the SDK had a bug around expiring and refreshing credentials. This has been fixed in this version of the SDK.

Dependency ranges have been completely removed from the declared third-party dependencies in the AWS SDK for Java Maven POM. This was necessary after some Maven users started picking up unsafe, beta versions of third-party dependencies because of the dependency ranges.
