boto v2.46.0 ============ :date: 2017/02/20 This release migrates boto2 to the new endpoint format which is also used by boto3. The major advantage this provides is the ability to connect to regions that aren't hard-coded in our built in endpoints file without having to go and find out what the hostname for that service/region is yourself. No more waiting for updates just to get region support! Since this feature could potentially break assumptions, it is disabled by default. You can enable it by using either the ``use_endpoint_heuristics`` config variable or the ``BOTO_USE_ENDPOINT_HEURISTICS`` environment variable. Even though we are changing the underlying format of our built in endpoints, the endpoints provided by ``endpoints_path`` or ``BOTO_ENDPOINTS`` will continue to use the legacy format, so you will not need to update your custom endpoints as part of this update.
