In this version, we have added enhanced support for Amazon S3 Versioning. We had released an early version to support S3 Versioning on Feb 8th, but today’s version has many more features which were missing from the Feb release.

We have also added support for private streaming distribution (Amazon announced support for Private Streaming Cloudfron Distributions a few minutes ago).

There are some changes in Export Import Service Add-On.

We are pleased to announce that we have added support for this new feature in Bucket Explorer. Bucket Explorer version 2009.10.03.01 supports creating new buckets in US-WEST-1 region.

We have completed all the tests and its just awaiting final documentation and release notes. This version greatly improves performance of commander, adds more advanced comparison options (between two buckets or a local folder and a bucket), and adds advanced transfer panel to move data from S3 to S3 (same account or different acconts).

This version includes over 100 changes and is going to be the most robust release of Bucket Explorer to date.

In the current release of Bucket Explorer, we save (automatically) a copy of the older version in a special bucket, every time a file is re-uploaded with the same name (& different content) again.  This functionality will be deprecated when Amazon starts supporting versioning natively in S3 API.

Until then, I believe we are the only one who support versioning, without changing file name or breaking the files in smaller propertiary chunks.

Just to refresh, we have added many features in past few months which can help CloudFront users:

1. Create new Cloud-Front distributions.

2. Manage existing distributions (edit, update, delete).

3. Map CNAME entries to Cloud-Front Distributions.

4. Set logging on a distribution. All access logs are collected in a S3 bucket specified by the user when enabling the logging feature.

5. Update ACLs in bulk / batch mode to change ACLs on a few to several million files in a bucket.

6. Update meta-data to add content headers in bulk / batch mode on a few to several million files in a bucket.

7. Bucket Explorer can automatically set user defined default headers on all files uploaded in a bucket.

8. Bucket Explorer can automatically set user defined default ACLs on all files uploaded in a bucket.

9. An easy to use comparer tool, which can help in comparing data between two buckets or between a local folder and a bucket. Makes it easy to keep track of changes and commits from local machine to a bucket.

10. Bucket Commander enables you to automate bucket backups. A CloudFront bucket can be backed up to another S3 bucket or to a local disk automatically on schedule using Bucket Commander.

11. Bucket Explorer allows copying / moving data between two buckets. You can use this feature to keep a staging bucket in one S3 account, where a designer can upload the content and then move it to production buckets using Bucket Explorer.

12. Bucket Explorer automatically keeps older versions of files when different content with same name is uploaded to a bucket. The existing file is automatically moved to a version bucket before it overwrites it.

13. Bucket Explorer automatically moves all deleted files from a bucket to a “trash” folder. The files are not permanently deleted until the user wants to do so.
