• Fixed: In Amazon S3, requests directly to the eu-west endpoint must use the path-style URI. The set_region() method now takes this into account.
• Fixed: As of version 1.0.1, CFSimpleXML extends SimpleXMLIterator instead of SimpleXMLElement. This prevented the __call() magic method from firing when get_object_list() was used.
• Fixed: The preauth option for the get_object_list() method has been removed from the documentation as it is not supported.
• Fixed: The methods get_bucket_filesize(), get_object_list(), delete_all_objects() and delete_all_object_versions() are no longer limited to 1000 entries and will work correctly for all entries.

Utility classes

CFSimpleXML

• New: Added to_string() and to_array() methods.

Third-party Libraries

CacheCore

• New: Upgraded to version 1.2.
• New: Added a static init method that allows for chainable cache initialization (5.3+).

RequestCore

• New: Added 206 as a successful status code (i.e., Range GET).

Compatibility Test

Changelog: AWS SDK for PHP 1.0

Launched Tuesday, September 28, 2010

This is a complete list of changes since we forked from the CloudFusion 2.5.x trunk build.

New Features & Highlights (Summary)

• The new file to include is sdk.class.php rather than cloudfusion.class.php.
• Because of the increased reliance on JSON across AWS services, the minimum supported version is now PHP 5.2 (Released in November 2006; Justified by these WordPress usage statistics and the fact that PHP 5.2 has been end-of-life’d in favor of 5.3).
• Up-to-date service support for EC2, S3, SQS, SimpleDB, CloudWatch, and CloudFront.
• Added service support for SNS.
• Limited testing for third-party API-compatible services such as Eucalyptus, Walrus and Google Storage.
• Improved the consistency of setting complex data types across services. (Required some backwards-incompatible changes.)
• Added new APIs and syntactic sugar for SimpleXML responses, batch requests and response caching.
• Moved away from global constants in favor of class constants.
• Minor, but notable improvements to the monkey patching support.
• Added a complete list of bug fix and patch contributors. Give credit where credit is due. ;)

Note: ALL backwards-incompatible changes are noted below. Please review the changes if you are upgrading. We’re making a small number of backwards-incompatible changes in order to improve the consistency across services. We’re making these changes now so that we can ensure that future versions will always be backwards-compatible with the next major version change.

File structure

The package file structure has been refined in a few ways:

• All service-specific classes are inside the /services/ directory.
• All utility-specific classes are inside the /utilities/ directory.
• All third-party classes are inside the /lib/ directory.

Base/Runtime class

• Fixed: Resolved issues: #206.
• New: The following global constants have been added: CFRUNTIME_NAME, CFRUNTIME_VERSION, CFRUNTIME_BUILD, CFRUNTIME_URL, and CFRUNTIME_USERAGENT
• New: Now supports camelCase versions of the snake_case method names. (e.g. getObjectList() will get translated to get_object_list() behind the scenes.)
• New: Added set_resource_prefix() and allow_hostname_override() (in addition to set_hostname()) to support third-party, API-compatible services.
• New: Added new caching APIs: cache() and delete_cache(), which work differently from the methods they replace. See docs for more information.
• New: Added new batch request APIs, batch() and CFBatchRequest which are intended to replace the old returnCurlHandle optional parameter.
• New: Will look for the config.inc.php file first in the same directory (./config.inc.php), and then fallback to ~/.aws/sdk/config.inc.php.
• Changed: Renamed the CloudFusion base class to CFRuntime.
• Changed: CloudFusion_Exception has been renamed as CFRuntime_Exception.
• Changed: Renamed the CloudFusion::$enable_ssl property to CFRuntime::$use_ssl.
• Changed: Renamed the CloudFusion::$set_proxy property to CFRuntime::$proxy.
• Changed: CFRuntime::disable_ssl() no longer takes any parameters. Once SSL is off, it is always off for that class instance.
• Changed: All date-related constants are now class constants of the CFUtilities class (e.g. CFUtilities::DATE_FORMAT_ISO8601).
  • Use CFUtilities::konst() if you’re extending classes and need to do something such as $this->util::DATE_FORMAT_ISO8601 but keep getting the T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIMM error.
• Changed: All x-cloudfusion- and x-tarzan- HTTP headers are now x-aws-.
• Changed: CloudFusion::autoloader() is now in its own separate class: CFLoader::autoloader(). This prevents it from being incorrectly inherited by extending classes.
• Changed: RequestCore, ResponseCore and SimpleXMLElement are now extended by CFRequest, CFResponse and CFSimpleXML, respectively. These new classes are now used by default.
• Changed: Changes to monkey patching:
  • You must now extend CFRequest instead of RequestCore, and then pass that class name to set_request_class().
  • You must now extend CFResponse instead of ResponseCore, and then pass that class name to set_response_class().
  • You can now monkey patch CFSimpleXML (extended from SimpleXMLElement) with set_parser_class().
  • You can now monkey patch CFBatchRequest with set_batch_class().
  • No changes for monkey patching CFUtilities with set_utilities_class().
• Removed: Removed ALL existing global constants and replaced them with class constants.
• Removed: Removed cache_response() and delete_cache_response().

• New: Added support for decrypting the Administrator password for Microsoft Windows instances.
• New: Instead of needing to pass Parameter.0, Parameter.1, …Parameter.n individually to certain methods, you can now reliably pass a string for a single value or an indexed array for a list of values.
• New: Limited tested has been done with the Eucalyptus EC2-clone.
• Changed: The $account_id parameter has been removed from the constructor.
• Changed: The global EC2_LOCATION_US and EC2_LOCATION_EU constants have been replaced.

AmazonS3

• Fixed: Resolved issues: #31, #72, #123, #156, #199, #201, #203, #207, #208, #209, #210, #212, #216, #217, #226, #228, #234, #235.

• New: Added class constants for storage types: STORAGE_STANDARD and STORAGE_REDUCED.
• New: Enhanced create_object() with the ability to upload a file from the file system.
• New: Enhanced get_object() with the ability to download a file to the file system.
• New: Enhanced get_bucket_list() and get_object_list() with performance improvements.
• New: Enhanced all GET operations with the ability to generate pre-authenticated URLs. This is the same feature as get_object_url() has had, applied to all GET operations.
• New: Limited testing with Walrus, the Eucalyptus S3-clone.
• New: Limited testing with Google Storage.
• Changed: Replaced all of the remaining S3_* constants with class constants: self::ACL_*, self::GRANT_*, self::USERS_*, and self::PCRE_ALL.
• Changed: Changed the function signature for create_object(). The filename is now passed as the second parameter, while the remaining options are now passed as the third parameter. This behavior now matches all of the other object-related methods.
• Changed: Changed the function signature for head_object(), delete_object(), and get_object_acl(). The methods now accept optional parameters as the third parameter instead of simply returnCurlHandle.
• Changed: Changed the function signature for get_object_url() and get_torrent_url(). Instead of passing a number of seconds until the URL expires, you now pass a string that strtotime() understands (including 60 seconds).
• Changed: Changed the function signature for get_object_url(). Instead of passing a boolean value for $torrent, the last parameter is now an $opt variable which allows you to set torrent and method parameters.
• Changed: Changed how returnCurlHandle is used. Instead of passing true as the last parameter to most methods, you now need to explicitly set array('returnCurlHandle' => true). This behavior is consistent with the implementation in other classes.
• Changed: Optional parameter names changed in list_objects(): maxKeys is now max-keys.
• Changed: get_bucket_locale() is now called get_bucket_region(), and returns the response body as a string for easier comparison with class constants.
• Changed: get_bucket_size() is now called get_bucket_object_count(). Everything else about it is identical.
• Changed: head_bucket() is now called get_bucket_headers(). Everything else about it is identical.
• Changed: head_object() is now called get_object_headers(). Everything else about it is identical.
• Changed: create_bucket() has two backward-incompatible changes:
  • Method now requires the region (formerly locale) to be set.
  • Method takes an $acl parameter so that the ACL can be set directly when creating a new bucket.
• Changed: Bucket names are now validated. Creating a new bucket now requires the more stringent DNS-valid guidelines, while the process of reading existing buckets follows the looser path-style guidelines. This change also means that the reading of path-style bucket names is now supported, when previously they weren’t.
• Removed: Removed store_remote_file() because its intended usage repeatedly confused users, and had potential for misuse. If you were using it to upload from the local file system, you should be using create_object instead.
• Removed: Removed copy_bucket(), replace_bucket(), duplicate_object(), move_object(), and rename_object() because only a small number of users used them, and they weren’t very robust anyway.
• Removed: Removed get_bucket() because it was just an alias for list_objects() anyway. Use the latter from now on — it’s identical.

AmazonSDB

• Fixed: Resolved issues: #205.
• New: Class is now up-to-date with the 2009-04-15 API release.
• Changed: Changed the function signatures for get_attributes() and delete_attributes() to improve consistency.

AmazonSNS

• New: Up-to-date with the 2010-03-31 API release.

AmazonSQS

• Fixed: Resolved issues: #137, #213, #219, #220, #221, #222.
• Fixed: In CloudFusion 2.5, neither add_permission() nor remove_permission() were functional. They are now working.
• New: Now supports the Northern California and Asia-Pacific regions.
• New: Now supports the new US-East (N. Virginia) endpoint.
• New: Now supports the new EU (Ireland) endpoint.
• New: Added new class constants for regions: REGION_US_E1, REGION_US_W1, REGION_EU_W1, and REGION_APAC_SE1.
• Changed: Because we now support multiple region endpoints, queue names alone are no longer sufficient for referencing your queues. As such, you must now use a full-queue URL instead of just the queue name.
• Changed: The global SQS_LOCATION_US and SQS_LOCATION_EU constants have been replaced.
• Changed: Renamed set_locale() as set_region(). It accepts any of the region constants.
• Changed: Changed the function signature for list_queues(). See the updated API reference.
• Changed: Changed the function signature for set_queue_attributes(). See the updated API reference.
• Changed: Changed how returnCurlHandle is used. Instead of passing true as the last parameter to most methods, you now need to explicitly set array('returnCurlHandle' => true). This behavior is consistent with the implementation in other classes.
• Changed: Function signature changed in get_queue_attributes(). The $attribute_name parameter is now passed as a value in the $opt parameter.

AmazonSQSQueue

• Removed: AmazonSQSQueue was a simple wrapper around the AmazonSDB class. It generally failed as an object-centric approach to working with SQS, and as such, has been eliminated. Use the AmazonSQS class instead.

Utility Classes

CFArray

• New: Extends ArrayObject.
• New: Simplified typecasting of SimpleXML nodes to native types (e.g. integers, strings).

CFBatchRequest

• New: Provides a higher-level API for executing batch requests.

CFComplexType

• New: Used internally by several classes to handle various complex data-types (e.g. single or multiple values, Key.x.Subkey.y.Value combinations).

CFRequest

• New: Sets some project-specific settings and passes them to the lower-level RequestCore.

CFResponse

• New: No additional changes from the base ResponseCore class.

CFPolicy

• New: Used for constructing Base64-encoded, JSON policy documents to be passed around to other methods.

CFSimpleXML

• New: Extends SimpleXMLElement.
• New: Simplified node retrieval. All SimpleXML-based objects (e.g. $response->body) now have magic methods that allow you to quickly retrieve nodes with the same name
  • e.g. $response->body->Name() will return an array of all SimpleXML nodes that match the //Name XPath expression.

CFUtilities

• Fixed: to_query_string() now explicitly passes a & character to http_build_query() to avoid configuration issues with MAMP/WAMP/XAMP installations.
• Fixed: convert_response_to_array() has been fixed to correctly return an all-array response under both PHP 5.2 and 5.3. Previously, PHP 5.3 returned a mix of arrays and stdClass objects.
• New: Added konst() to retrieve the value of a class constant, while avoiding the T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM error. Misspelled because const is a reserved word.
• New: Added is_base64() to determine whether or not a string is Base64-encoded data.
• New: Added decode_uhex() to decode \uXXXX entities back into their unicode equivalents.
• Changed: Changed size_readable(). Now supports units up to exabytes.
• Changed: Moved the DATE_FORMAT_* global constants into this class as class constants.
• Removed: Removed json_encode_php51() now that the minimum required version is PHP 5.2 (which includes the JSON extension by default).
• Removed: Removed hex_to_base64().

Third-party Libraries

CacheCore

• New: Upgraded to version 1.1.1.
• New: Now supports both the memcache extension, but also the newer, faster memcached extension. Prefers memcached if both are installed.
• Deprecated: Support for MySQL and PostgreSQL as storage mechanisms has been deprecated. Since they’re using PDO, they’ll continue to function (as we’re maintaining SQLite support via PDO), but we recommend migrating to using APC, XCache, Memcache or SQLite if you’d like to continue using response caching.
