Ruby/Amazon

In methods that use the 'keywords' parameter, it was being URL-encoded too early, which could lead to format-specifier-related exceptions. This is another manifestation of the bug that was believed fixed in 0.9.1. When using shopping carts, the purchase URL now works within the 'uk' locale. Previously, only the 'us' locale worked. In all likelihood, the other locales can now use it too.

The library will now follow HTTP redirections a maximum of Amazon::Search::MAX_REDIRECTS times before aborting a search. A bug that caused reassignment of a request object's locale to not trigger the establishment of an HTTP connection to the new locale's server was fixed along with a bug in multiple search methods, whereby the 'keywords' parameter was not URL-escaped. Multiple methods have undergone minor changes to comply with changes made by Amazon to AWSv3 in March 2006. Problems with third-party searches could cause an attempt to raise an exception in the wrong namespace.

The international properties amazon.ca and amazon.fr are
now supported. This includes geolocation for these areas.
#actor_search, #director_search, #manufacturer_search,
and #text_stream_search were all broken. These have been
fixed.

Power searches were not working. This has been fixed.

Geolocation was not working properly. This has been fixed. nil is now
returned instead of throwing an Amazon::AttributeError exception when
calling a non-existent property. This effectively removes the need for
the Amazon::AttributeError exception class. @catalogue is now allowed as
a synonym of @catalog when calling this item property.
