Next version followup

[michaelwittwer]

During the stable release of the next version (mainly aws-sdk v3) I was not able to resolve all issues, here are some things to followup:

• search for // TODO post-v3 in the code
• Check on new attribute type $UnknownAttribute and implement tests
• Switch to new implementation of pagination, see official doc.
• Use middleware stack to implement verbose logging of request / response data
• Check if we still need to implement our custom retry backoff behaviour, since it seems that v3 has some reasonable default behaviour. (see https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3?tab=readme-ov-file#example-pagination-usage)

Are you continuing here, or is maintenance on this project over?

Hi @25000
We don't have an official agreement on how we do maintenance on this project. We are still using this project in our internal application, but can't spend the amount of time this projects deserves.
What of the above list is catching your attention, if you are willing to take time and prepare a PR I am happy to review. In the meantime I hope you saw the latest pre-release v8.0.0-next.7 which contains the latest changes.
