Using DigitalOcean Spaces or Amazon S3 for file storage in XF 2.1+ 2.4.0

This "add-on" is no longer required for XenForo 2.3 and should be uninstalled​

XenForo 2.3 ships with a subset of the Amazon S3 SDK for PHP. This is all this add-on does - it makes available the Amazon S3 SDK. There may be conflicts if you upgrade to XF 2.3 while this add-on installed so plan your upgrade carefully and ensure this add-on is removed.

Today's update is for the benefit of customers still running XenForo 2.2.

It ships an updated version of the Amazon S3 SDK that should be PHP 8.3 compatible.

This update is a very minor maintenance release.

As well as including the latest version of the Amazon AWS SDK (3.231.7) this is now a much smaller subset of the behemoth that is the full SDK that only includes the necessary files to access Amazon S3 services.

There is no real need to install this version if everything is working as expected.

Updates Amazon AWS SDK to version 3.209.16

The last update to this add-on updated the Amazon AWS SDK to version 3.204.2 but it implied this may not be required due to it only adding support for PHP 8.1.

We are further updating the AWS library today to version 3.209.16.

While there are still no significant changes in the behaviour of this add-on itself we do recommend updating to ensure you're using a more recent version of the library.
