[S3tools-announce] ANNOUNCE: s3cmd 1.1.0-beta3

[Michal L. <ml...@lo...>]

Hi all!

I have just released s3cmd 1.1.0-beta3 with two important fixes:

- Multipart now works for [sync] with a limitation in that it doesn't 
compare MD5 sums of the local and remote file. The reason is that Amazon 
doesn't provide a MD5 sum for multipart-uploaded files and therefore we 
have nothing to check the local MD5 sum against. For now s3cmd only 
compares the file sizes in that case, will add a timestamp check later 
as well.

- The new MIME guessing turned out to a bit difficult to initialise 
properly across all the platforms. Not only that the python-magic module 
may not be installed, worse yet there are two incompatible python-magic 
modules currently shipped with Linux recent distros. It's quite a mess 
but hopefully it should now work as expected for everyone.

And obviously a number of minor bugs was fixed as well. Thanks to all 
the reporters and contributors!
