ABANDONED as of 2018 - Historical versions of AWS documentation and information

Let's admit it out loud - AWS's release notes are a joke, and finding out when AWS-y things change, especially minor API changes and service limit changes, is virtually impossible unless it's a big, high-level change. This is my attempt at figuring out when things change...

Usage

Mainly, look through the git history for what you're interested in. If this is helpful for people, I might give a try at building some summaries of changes.

Historical information before the creation of this repo has been pulled from Archive.org's Wayback Machine; see the commit messages for date information.

For information on changes to the AWS APIs themselves, the JSON API descriptions from botocore are probably the best source of information.

License

The content of this repo is mainly AWS documentation and generated code, which I believe is all Apache2.

My own code here is horribly minimal. Just use it.
