[ANN] tools.deps.alpha 0.5.460 and clj 1.9.0.397

[Alex Miller]

tools.deps.alpha 0.5.460 and clj 1.9.0.397 are now available.

The only change in this version are some dependency updates and clarification on how to best connect to private s3 Maven repos.

The prior directions indicated that this should be done using the standard AWS credential chain (ambient environment variables, ~/.aws/credentials, etc). The problem with this approach is that the credentials are in effect for ALL private s3 Maven repos in the process. 

The new version resolves some issues allowing you to instead specify AWS creds on a per-server basis in the ~/.m2/settings.xml file:

<servers>
  ...
  <server>
    <id>my-private-repo</id>
    <username>AWS_ACCESS_KEY_HERE</username>
    <password>AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_HERE</password>
  </server>
  ...
</servers>

This is now the preferred mechanism (but the other mechanisms also work).
