Release: AWS SDK for Java 1.5.0

We released version 1.5.0 of the AWS SDK for Java last night.  This release contains several exciting enhancements including:

• Upgrading to the latest major version of Apache HttpClient
• Support for the Closeable interface on Amazon S3 objects
• Easier construction of requests that use map datatypes
• Batching improvements for Amazon DynamoDB
• Support for Amazon Elastic Transcoder’s latest API version, enabling support for frame rate options and watermarks. 

We’ll be digging into some of these features more in upcoming blog posts.
