Starting today, manual forecast overrides (i.e. adjustments) made by a demand planner are automatically saved and reapplied from one planning cycle to the next. Demand planners commonly adjust system-generated baseline forecasts for known demand variations. These adjustments, or forecast overrides, reflect seasonality fluctuations, promotions, or other variable that affects the forecast. These adjustments were always entered manually during the new planning cycle. With this release, overrides are remembered and then applied to the re-calibrated system generated baseline forecast. Demand planners can now view and manage forecast overrides across planning cycles in one unified view.

Amazon SNS FIFO topics now support message delivery to Amazon SQS Standard queues
You can now subscribe Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) Standard queues to Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) First-In-First-Out (FIFO) topics. Thus, from a single SNS FIFO topic, you can now deliver messages to SQS Standard queues, which offer best-effort ordering and at-least-once delivery, as well as to SQS FIFO queues, which support strict ordering and exactly-once delivery. This new capability further decouples message publishers from subscribers, as the SNS topic type no longer dictates the SQS queue type that subscribers ought to use.
