  • User-specified object checksums will now be available in the R2 get() and head() bindings response. MD5 is included by default for non-multipart uploaded objects.

2022-09-06

  • The S3 CopyObject operation now includes x-amz-version-id and x-amz-copy-source-version-id in the response headers for consistency with other methods.
  • The ETag for multipart files uploaded until shortly after Open Beta uploaded now include the number of parts as a suffix.

2022-08-17

  • The S3 DeleteObjects operation no longer trims the space from around the keys before deleting. This would result in files with leading / trailing spaces not being able to be deleted. Additionally, if there was an object with the trimmed key that existed it would be deleted instead. The S3 DeleteObject operation was not affected by this.
  • Fixed presigned URL support for the S3 ListBuckets and ListObjects operations.

2022-08-06

  • Uploads will automatically infer the Content-Type based on file body if one is not explicitly set in the PutObject request. This functionality will come to multipart operations in the future.

  • List continuation tokens prior to 2022-07-01 are no longer accepted and must be obtained again through a new list operation.
  • The list() binding will now correctly return a smaller limit if too much data would otherwise be returned (previously would return an Internal Error).

2022-07-14

  • Improvements to 500s: we now convert errors, so things that were previously concurrency problems for some operations should now be TooMuchConcurrency instead of InternalError. We've also reduced the rate of 500s through internal improvements.
  • ListMultipartUpload correctly encodes the returned Key if the encoding-type is specified.

2022-07-13

  • S3 XML documents sent to R2 that have an XML declaration are not rejected with 400 Bad Request / MalformedXML.
  • Minor S3 XML compatibility fix impacting Arq Backup on Windows only (not the Mac version). Response now contains XML declaration tag prefix and the xmlns attribute is present on all top-level tags in the response.
  • Beta ListMultipartUploads support.

2022-07-06

  • Support the r2_list_honor_include compat flag coming up in an upcoming runtime release (default behavior as of 2022-07-14 compat date). Without that compat flag/date, list will continue to function implicitly as include: ['httpMetadata', 'customMetadata'] regardless of what you specify.
  • cf-create-bucket-if-missing can be set on a PutObject/CreateMultipartUpload request to implicitly create the bucket if it does not exist.
  • Fix S3 compatibility with MinIO client spec non-compliant XML for publishing multipart uploads. Any leading and trailing quotes in CompleteMultipartUpload are now optional and ignored as it seems to be the actual non-standard behavior AWS implements.

2022-07-01

  • Unsupported search parameters to ListObjects/ListObjectsV2 are now rejected with 501 Not Implemented.
  • Fixes for Listing:
    • Fix listing behavior when the number of files within a folder exceeds the limit (you'd end up seeing a CommonPrefix for that large folder N times where N = number of children within the CommonPrefix / limit).
    • Fix corner case where listing could cause objects with sharing the base name of a "folder" to be skipped.
    • Fix listing over some files that shared a certain common prefix.
  • DeleteObjects can now handle 1000 objects at a time.
  • S3 CreateBucket request can specify x-amz-bucket-object-lock-enabled with a value of false and not have the requested rejected with a NotImplemented error. A value of true will continue to be rejected as R2 does not yet support object locks.

2022-06-17

  • Fixed a regression for some clients when using an empty delimiter.
  • Added support for S3 pre-signed URLs.

2022-06-16

  • Fixed a regression in the S3 API UploadPart operation where TooMuchConcurrency & NoSuchUpload errors were being returned as NoSuchBucket.

2022-06-13

  • Fixed a bug with the S3 API ListObjectsV2 operation not returning empty folder/s as common prefixes when using delimiters.
  • The S3 API ListObjectsV2 KeyCount parameter now correctly returns the sum of keys and common prefixes rather than just the keys.

  • If conditional headers are provided to S3 API UploadObject or CreateMultipartUpload operations, and the object exists, a 412 Precondition Failed status code will be returned if these checks are not met.

2022-05-20

  • Fixed a bug when Accept-Encoding was being used in SignedHeaders when sending requests to the S3 API would result in a SignatureDoesNotMatch response.

2022-05-17

  • Fixed a bug where requests to the S3 API were not handling non-encoded parameters used for the authorization signature.
  • Fixed a bug where requests to the S3 API where number-like keys were being parsed as numbers instead of strings.

2022-05-16

  • Add support for S3 virtual-hosted style paths, such as <BUCKET>.<ACCOUNT_ID>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com instead of path-based routing (<ACCOUNT_ID>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com/<BUCKET>).
  • Implemented GetBucketLocation for compatibility with external tools, this will always return a LocationConstraint of auto.

2022-05-06

  • S3 API GetObject ranges are now inclusive (bytes=0-0 will correctly return the first byte).
  • S3 API GetObject partial reads return the proper 206 Partial Content response code.

  • UploadPart can now be sent a 0-length part.

2022-05-05

  • When using the S3 API, an empty string and us-east-1 will now alias to the auto region for compatibility with external tools.
  • GetBucketEncryption, PutBucketEncryption and DeleteBucketEncrypotion are now supported (the only supported value currently is AES256).

  • S3 API CompleteMultipartUploads requests are now properly escaped.

2022-05-03

  • Pagination cursors are no longer returned when the keys in a bucket is the same as the MaxKeys argument.
