This release includes Amazon Route53 service and documentation updates,
preliminary log file support for Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS), as
well as various other small fixes. Also included is an opt-in to use signature
version 4 with Amazon EC2.

**IMPORTANT** - This release also include a **SIGNIFICANT** underlying change
to the Amazon S3 ``get_bucket`` method, to addresses the blog post by AppNeta_.
We've altered the default behavior to now perform a ``HEAD`` on the bucket, in
place of the old ``GET`` behavior (which would fetch a zero-length list of
keys).

This should reduce all users costs & should also be *mostly*
backward-compatible. **HOWEVER**, if you were previously parsing the exception
message from ``S3Connection.get_bucket``, you *will* have to change your code
(see the S3 tutorial for details). ``HEAD`` does *not* return as detailed of
error messages & while we've attempted to patch over as much of the differences
as we can, there may still be edge-cases over the prior behavior.

This release fixes working with keys with special characters in them while using
Signature V4 with Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3). It also fixes a regression
in the ``ResultSet`` object, re-adding the ``nextToken`` attribute. This was
most visible from within Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) when calling the
``get_spot_price_history`` method.

Users in the cn-north-1 region or who make active use of
``get_spot_price_history`` are recommended to upgrade.
