May 18th 2021: v0.0.4-alpha

[rcoh]

New this week:

• 🎉 Add support for AWS Lambda (smithy-rs#361, @richardhboyd) 🎉
• Generate docs automatically and host on GitHub Pages: https://awslabs.github.io/aws-sdk-rust/ (Create docs.yaml #81)
• Add support for streaming request bodies. This is technically a breaking change but no currently generated AWS services expose this type. (smithy-rs#359)
• Types represented by the Smithy Set type now generate Vec<T> in all cases. This is also technically breaking but not currently exposed. (smithy-rs#270)
• Bugfix: The .message()field of errors will now look for both message and Message in the model (smithy-rs#374)
• Add support for the AWS_REGION environment variable. (smithy-rs#362)
• The request type generated by the fluent builders, eg. dynamodb.list_tables() is now Debug (smithy-rs#377, @declanvk)

And more: See the corresponding smithy-rs release.

Just a quick question: if one sets AWS_DEFAULT_REGION and AWS_REGION, but their values differ, who wins?

[rcoh]

Current behavior is AWS_REGION wins, falling back to AWS_DEFAULT_REGION: https://github.com/awslabs/aws-sdk-rust/blob/main/sdk/aws-types/src/region.rs#L128-L134
