Unfortunately, 0.8.335 introduced a bug in the iam client. Fortunately, release 0.8.342 fixes it, so use that instead!

David, what's wrong with clojure.xml that pushed cognitect-labs/aws-api to try another library, and is there a Jira issue for it?

[Alex Miller]

clojure.xml is a ns built into Clojure core that dates from very early days of Clojure. At a later point, it almost certainly would have been in clojure-contrib or a separate library. It is not a good choice for anything more than one-off code. In particular, it will cause reflection/illegal access warnings because it has an api that truly is reflective (in passing through objects of many possible types).

org.clojure/data.xml is a full xml library, using modern jdk conveniences and providing many more features. As such, it’s a much better choice to build on.

[David Chelimsky]

Unfortunately, 0.8.335 introduced two bugs! One in the iam client, and one in pretty much everything because the pom.xml didn't get updated with the new deps.

Please use 0.8.345, which fixes both issues.
