Note

You are viewing the documentation for an older version of boto (boto2).

Boto3, the next version of Boto, is now stable and recommended for general use. It can be used side-by-side with Boto in the same project, so it is easy to start using Boto3 in your existing projects as well as new projects. Going forward, API updates and all new feature work will be focused on Boto3.

For more information, see the documentation for boto3.

boto v2.29.0

date:2014/05/29

This release adds support for the AWS shared credentials file, adds support for Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) encryption, and contains a handful of fixes for Amazon EC2, AWS CloudFormation, AWS CloudWatch, AWS CloudTrail, Amazon DynamoDB and Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS). It also includes fixes for Python wheel support.

A bug has been fixed such that a new exception is thrown when a profile name is explicitly passed either via code (profile="foo") or an environment variable (AWS_PROFILE=foo) and that profile does not exist in any configuration file. Previously this was silently ignored, and the default credentials would be used without informing the user.
