+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+			    Preamble
+
+  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
+freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
+License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
+software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
+General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
+Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
+using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
+the GNU Library General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
+your programs, too.
+
+  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
+price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
+this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
+if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
+in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
+
+  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
+anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
+These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
+distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
+
+  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
+gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
+you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
+source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
+rights.
+
+  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
+(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
+distribute and/or modify the software.
+
+  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
+that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
+software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
+want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
+that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
+authors' reputations.
+
+  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
+patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
+program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
+program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
+patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
+
+  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.
+
+		    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
+
+  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
+a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
+under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
+refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
+means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
+that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
+either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
+language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
+the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
+
+Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
+covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
+running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
+is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
+Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
+Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
+
+  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
+source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
+conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
+copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
+notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
+and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
+along with the Program.
+
+You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
+you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
+
+  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
+of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
+distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
+above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
+    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
+
+    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
+    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
+    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
+    parties under the terms of this License.
+
+    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
+    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
+    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
+    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
+    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
+    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
+    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
+    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
+    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
+    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
+
+These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
+identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
+and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
+themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
+sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
+distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
+on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
+this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
+entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
+
+Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
+your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
+exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
+collective works based on the Program.
+
+In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
+with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
+a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
+the scope of this License.
+
+  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
+under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
+Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
+
+    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
+    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
+    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
+    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
+    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
+    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
+    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
+    customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
+    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
+    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
+    received the program in object code or executable form with such
+    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
+
+The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
+making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
+code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
+associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
+control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
+special exception, the source code distributed need not include
+anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
+form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
+operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
+itself accompanies the executable.
+
+If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
+access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
+access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
+distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
+compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
+
+  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
+except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
+otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
+void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
+However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
+this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
+parties remain in full compliance.
+
+  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
+signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
+distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
+prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
+modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
+all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
+the Program or works based on it.
+
+  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
+original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
+these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
+restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
+You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
+this License.
+
+  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
+infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
+conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
+distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
+may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
+license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
+all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
+the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
+refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
+
+If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
+any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
+apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
+circumstances.
+
+It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
+patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
+such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
+integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
+implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
+generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
+through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
+system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
+to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
+impose that choice.
+
+This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
+be a consequence of the rest of this License.
+
+  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
+certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
+original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
+may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
+those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
+countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
+the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
+
+  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
+of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
+be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
+address new problems or concerns.
+
+Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
+specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
+later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
+either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
+Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
+this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
+Foundation.
+
+  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
+programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
+to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
+Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
+make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
+of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
+of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
+
+			    NO WARRANTY
+
+  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
+FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
+OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
+PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
+OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
+MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
+TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
+PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
+REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
+REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
+INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
+OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
+TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
+YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
+PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
+POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+		     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+	    How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
+
+  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
+
+  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
+to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
+convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
+the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
+    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
+
+    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
+    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
+    the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
+    (at your option) any later version.
+
+    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
+    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
+    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
+    GNU General Public License for more details.
+
+    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
+    along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
+    Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307  USA
+
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+
+If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
+when it starts in an interactive mode:
+
+    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year  name of author
+    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
+    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
+    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
+
+The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
+parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
+be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
+mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
+
+You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
+school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
+necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
+
+  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
+  `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
+
+  <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
+  Ty Coon, President of Vice
+
+This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
+proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
+consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
+library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
+Public License instead of this License.

+
+0.4.1
+-----
+
+The exception class Amazon::AWS::HTTPError was not actually defined, which
+caused an error when an attempt was made to raise it.
+
+If you're using Windows, %HOME% typically isn't defined. Therefore, the
+following sequence of paths is now searched for your .amazonrc configuration
+file:
+
+%HOME%
+%HOMEDRIVE% + %HOMEPATH%
+%USERPROFILE%
+
+Choose one of these at your convenience.
+
+
+0.4.0
+-----
+
+The version of the Amazon AWS API requested when performing operations is now
+2008-06-26. This is the latest at the time of writing.
+
+A new method, Amazon::AWS::ShoppingCart::Cart#cart_get, has been added, to
+allow the retrieval of an existing shopping-cart from AWS. This is necessary
+when the original Cart object no longer exists.
+
+A bug in Amazon::AWS::ShoppingCart::Cart#cart_modify has been fixed, which
+caused carts with no items in their active section to raise an exception.
+
+
+0.3.3
+-----
+
+YAML.aws_load has been removed. Its functionality is available directly from
+Amazon::AWS::AWSObject.yaml_load and it wasn't logical or necessary to
+duplicate that in the YAML class itself. There was no corresponding
+Marshal.aws_load method, but if there had been, that, too, would have been
+removed.
+
+Ruby/AWS is finally available as a RubyGems package and can be found here:
+
+  http://www.caliban.org/files/ruby/ruby-aws-0.3.3.gem
+
+The enclosed Rakefile can be used to build the gem from scratch. First make
+sure you have rake and rubygems installed, and then simply type 'rake' in the
+top level directory of the archive. The gem will be generated and placed in
+the ./pkg subdirectory, from where you can 'sudo gem install' it.
+
+This is my first gem, so bear with me. It appears to work properly, but I
+offer no guarantees. One thing that doesn't currently work is installing the
+package with gem's -t option to run the supplied unit tests.
+
+More information about RubyGems can be found here:
+
+  http://www.rubygems.org/
+
+
+0.3.2
+-----
+
+Serialisation, e.g. with Marshal and YAML, has been a problem until now.
+  
+This is because subclasses of Amazon::AWS::AWSObject are created as needed
+when XML responses from AWS are parsed. Whilst there is no problem dumping
+objects instantiated from such classes, the difficulty arises when later
+loading and attempting to reinstantiate them in a new process, because the
+dynamic classes from which they were spawned no longer exist.
+
+The solution to the problem comes in the form of the new methods
+Amazon::AWS::AWSObject.load and Amazon::AWS::AWSObject.yaml_load. Use these as
+alternatives to Marshal.load and YAML.load, respectively.
+
+
+0.3.1
+-----
+
+This release mostly features refinements to the support for remote
+shopping-carts.
+
+The 'Save For Later' area of remote shopping-carts is now implemented.
+
+Cart#cart_modify now takes an extra parameter, save_for_later. If true, items
+are moved from the active to the Save For Later area of the cart. If false,
+they are moved in the opposite direction.
+
+In both cases, the quantity parameter is ignored, because attempting to pass
+it through to AWS results in an error, even though the AWS documentation
+claims this can be done to move partial quantities from one area of the cart
+to the other.
+
+Cart objects now have a @saved_for_later_items attribute, aliased to
+@saved_items and @saved. Take your pick.
+
+@cart_items is now set to [] when Cart.new is called. Previously, it wasn't set
+until Cart#cart_create was used, at which time it was set to nil.
+@saved_for_later_items is also set to [] by Cart.new.
+
+Cart#include? now also returns true if the item being queried is in the Save
+For Later area of the cart. Previously, only the active area was inspected.
+
+New methods, Cart#active? and Cart#saved_for_later? (alias Cart#saved?),
+return whether or not an item is present in a particular area of the cart. If
+the item is present, its CartItemId is returned; otherwise 'false'.
+
+A bug that caused shopping-cart transactions to use the cache if one was
+requested has been fixed. Shopping-carts should never use the cache under any
+circumstances.
+
+Request objects can now have their @cache attribute assigned to. A Cache
+object may be directly assigned to it, or you may assign the value 'true'. If
+@cache is set to 'true', a Cache object will automatically be assigned to it
+the next time @cache is referenced. This is most useful when one wishes to
+switch from using no cache to using one, or vice versa.
+
+Cache#flush_expired invariably threw an exception. This bug has been fixed.
+
+Geolocation of users by host and IP address now raises an
+Amazon::Locale::GeoError exception if the host or IP address is unresolvable.
+
+There's a new Ruby/AWS mailing-list for discussion of the development and
+usage of this library:
+
+  http://www.caliban.org/mailman/listinfo/ruby-aws
+
+
+0.3.0
+-----
+
+The version of the Amazon AWS API requested when performing operations is now
+2008-04-07. This is the latest at the time of writing.
+
+Remote shopping-carts are now implemented. See the Amazon::AWS::ShoppingCart
+module and the Amazon::AWS::ShoppingCart::Cart class in
+./amazon/aws/shoppingcart.rb for more details.
+
+Basically, the new methods are Cart.new, Cart#cart_create, Cart#cart_add,
+Cart#cart_modify and Cart#cart_clear. There's also Cart#each for iterating
+over the items in a cart.
+
+This adds the following AWS operations to the list of those supported:
+
+  CartCreate
+  CartAdd
+  CartModify
+  CartClear
+
+It's currently not possible to update a wishlist at purchase time by referring
+to the item's ListItemId when adding it to a cart.
+
+It's also currently not possible to add items to the 'Saved For Later' section
+of the cart.
+
+A new iterator method, AWSObject#each, yields each |property, value| of the
+AWSObject.
+
+The AWSObject and AWSArray classes have received a few new helper methods that
+should make AWSObject and single element AWSArray objects behave more akin to
+strings when they are being compared with strings, matched against regexes,
+etc.
+
+An otherwise undocumented method, AWSObject#kernel, provides unnested (i.e.
+top level) AWSObject objects with a shortcut reference to the data most likely
+of interest to the user.
+
+For example, if a top level AWSObject is formed as the result of an
+ItemSearch, one might normally refer to the items returned with something like
+this:
+
+  foo.item_search_response[0].items[0].item
+
+AWSObject#kernel allows the same data to be referred to as follows:
+
+  foo.kernel
+
+The path to the data is programatically determined, so this method only works
+for top level AWSObject objects created by a class of operation whose name can
+be used to derive the path. This is why this method is not documented.
+
+When searches are performed, greater efforts are now made to determine whether
+Amazon returned any errors. In particular, batch operations and
+MultipleOperations may return errors at different locations in the XML tree
+than normal operations.
+
+A bug that materialised only when using an HTTP proxy has been fixed.
+
+
+0.2.0
+-----
+
+In previous versions, only 5 types of operation were supported:
+
+  BrowseNodeLookup
+  ItemLookup
+  ItemSearch
+  ListSearch
+  SellerListingSearch
+
+This version supports all remaining non-shopping-cart operations:
+
+  CustomerContentLookup
+  CustomerContentSearch
+  Help
+  ListLookup
+  SellerListingSearch
+  SellerLookup
+  SimilarityLookup
+  TagLookup
+  TransactionLookup
+
+Examples of each of these can be found in ./examples/
+
+It is hoped that shopping-carts will make their debut in the next release of
+Ruby/AWS.
+
+One can now use a Symbol for search indices and hash keys when instantiating
+operation objects and response group objects.
+
+For example:
+
+  is = ItemSearch.new( 'Books', { 'Title' => 'Ruby' } )
+  rg = ResponseGroup.new( 'Large' )
+
+can now be written like this:
+
+  is = ItemSearch.new( :Books, { :Title => 'Ruby' } )
+  rg = ResponseGroup.new( :Large )
+
+It's up to you which form you use. The Symbol form saves one character. :-)
+
+AWSObject#to_s has been improved to provide something better looking. There's
+still room for improvement, though.
+
+AWSObject#to_i has been added. This allows, for example, AWSObjects to be used
+with the %d format specifier in formatted strings. It's up to you, though, to
+know when an AWSObject can be expected to contain a String that's usable as an
+Integer.
+
+Objects of a class whose name matches AWSObject::.*Image typically have a @url
+attribute that points to the URL of the image in question. Such objects now
+have a #get method, which can be used to retrieve the image in question. This
+method takes a single parameter, an integer precentage, which causes the
+retrieved image to be overlayed with a discount icon.
+
+Various compatibility fixes were made to allow Ruby/AWS to work under Ruby
+1.9. The use of Ruby/AWS with this version is still not recommended, however.
+For one thing, Ruby 1.9 seems to use #inspect in places that Ruby 1.8 used
+#to_s.
+
+
+0.1.0
+-----
+
+Version 0.1.0 of Ruby/AWS has undergone fundamental changes from the previous,
+very crude versions, 0.0.1 and 0.0.2.
+
+For one thing, the AWS XML parser has been completely rewritten. In this new
+version, classes are dynamically generated as required, based on the elements
+present in the XML pages returned by AWS.
+
+Previous versions of Ruby/AWS (and also Ruby/Amazon), manually defined most
+of these classes, based on Amazon's developer documentation and examination of
+AWS XML reponses. This time-consuming, unwieldy and unnecessary approach was
+largely the result of my own lack of aptitude with the Ruby REXML library.
+
+While these manually defined classes accounted for much of the data returned
+by AWS, a smaller section of the data was, nevertheless, dynamically converted
+to Ruby data structures. This mix of manually and automatically treated
+objects led to inconsistencies in the Ruby representation of the hierarchical
+XML structure. This meant that it was not quite possible to look at an AWS XML
+response and reliably determine how the resulting Ruby data structure would
+look.
+
+That inconsistency has been ironed out in version 0.1.0. As of now,
+_everything_ is dynamically generated from the AWS XML response. All manual
+class definitions have been removed and all classes are now defined at the
+time they first need to be instantiated.
+
+This has the following advantages:
+
+- Changes in the structure of AWS XML responses will not break Ruby/AWS. They
+  may break user code (if, for example, you depend on the presence of a piece
+  of data that later disappears from AWS responses [and even this should not
+  happen, because AWS v4 has a versioned API]), but they will not break the
+  library. The library will always create whichever classes are needed to
+  represent any given XML structure returned by AWS.
+
+- Changes in the structure of AWS XML that results in new data being
+  included in responses will automatically cause said data to be made
+  available via Ruby/AWS. If, for example, Amazon starts to return data about

+  foo.duration would automatically start to return that property.

+Geolocation of locale is now working.
