This What's New is associated with the 2006-04-01 release of the Amazon Simple Queue Service. This guide was last updated on 10 May 2007.
The following table describes the important changes since the first release of the Amazon Simple Queue Service Developer Guide.
| Change | Description |
|---|---|
| Correction | We have corrected the information about receiving messages. Clarified that in the request you can provide a visibility timeout value that applies only to the messages returned by the request. If you don't provide a visibility timeout value in the request, the overall visibility timeout of the queue is used for the returned messages. |
| Expansion of Material | We have enhanced and clarified the information about access control. See Access Control Overview. |
| Correction | We have corrected the information about who can delete a queue: both owners of the queue and users with FullControl permission can delete a queue. |
| Correction | For the REST API: Changed the information for PUT on MessageQueue to indicate that the action can be used to either send a message to the queue or set the visibility timeout for the queue. Also changed the information for GET on MessageQueue to indicate that the action can be used to either retrieve messages from the queue or get the visibility timeout for the queue. |
| Correction | We have corrected the definition of VisibilityTimeout throughout the guide. The VisibilityTimeout is the amount of time messages are hidden from subsequent read requests, not the amount of time messages are visible. See SetVisibilityTimeout. |
| General improvements | We have corrected inconsistencies between the three API reference sections (Query, SOAP, and REST). |
