Overview and roadmap

[benesch]

This is a fork of the official Rusoto project, sponsored by @MaterializeInc. The goal is to keep the lights on by entertaining dependency bump PRs and obvious bugfixes. At this time we do not intend to implement or review any new features, though obvious PRs to add new AWS services might be considered.

We are expecting that Amazon will announce an official Rust SDK, or official support of Rusoto, sometime in the near future, after which this fork will be happily abandoned. We will also abandon this fork if someone starts maintaining Rusoto officially again.

Roadmap:

• v0.46.0 is being published to crates.io at this very moment. Unfortunately the process of publishing 220 new crates takes multiple days due to crates.io rate limiting.

  See CHANGELOG.md for details about what dependencies have been upgraded. Crates have an "mz" prefix, as in mz_rusoto_core.

• v0.47.0 is planned for the first week of January. The goal is to upgrade to Tokio v1.0, which is dropping by the end of the year. We'll also have to wait for hyper v0.14 (hyperium/hyper#2352).

• Future releases will be scheduled as warranted.

@benesch I'd happy to help with maintaining fork while as you said Amazon will not announce an official Rust SDK or official support of Rusoto. We use rusoto a lot in https://github.com/timberio/vector. Thanks for the new release :+1:

Updates: I'll be helping out with the official Rusoto project from here on out. v0.46.0 has published successfully to crates.io, though, and will remain available to folks who want a version of Rusoto with up-to-date dependencies except for Tokio.
