mod_pubsub_feeds: Don't skip publishing items after an existing one I encountered a feed which was backwards, such that older entries were considered first and then it would skip newer entries. This may however run into trouble if the feed contains more items than what's persisted in pubsub.

# Introduction

This module adds support for reading AWS IAM access credentials from EC2 instance metadata,
to allow Prosody modules to gain role-based access to AWS services.

# Configuring

``` {.lua}
modules_enabled = {
    "aws_profile";
}
```

There is no other configuration.

# Usage in other modules

Other modules can import the credentials as a shared table:

``` {.lua}
local aws_credentials = module:shared("/*/aws_profile/credentials");
do_something(aws_credentials.access_key, aws_credentials.secret_key);
```

Note that credentials are time-limited, and will change periodically. The
shared table will automatically be updated. If you need to know when this
happens, you can also hook the `'aws_profile/credentials-refreshed'` event:

``` {.lua}
module:hook_global("aws_profile/credentials-refreshed", function (new_credentials)
  -- do something with new_credentials.access_key/secret_key
end);
```

# Compatibility

Meant for use with Prosody 0.11.x, may work in older versions.
