Release: AWS SDK for Ruby 1.1.0

AWS Identity and Access Management

This release introduces support for AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), which enables you to securely control access to AWS services and resources for your users.

For more information on the Ruby interface to AWS IAM, see the documentation for the AWS::IAM class.

Added support for using a canned ACL when changing the ACL of an Amazon S3 object. For example:

# gives the object public read permissions
s3.objects["my_object"].acl = :public_read
            

Added two new methods for filtering Amazon EC2 snapshots. This example returns only the snapshots that are owned by the current account:

ec2.snapshots.with_owner("self")
            

This example returns only the snapshots that are restorable by a particular AWS account:

ec2.snapshots.restorable_by("123456789012")
            

Resolved an issue where HTTP proxy URIs were processed incorrectly.

Resolved an issue where the pre-signed POST policy for uploads to Amazon S3 included newlines. Because the policy is signed, these newlines made it difficult to submit a valid POST from an HTML form using the fields computed by the SDK. Now the SDK does not use newlines in the encoded policy.
