 ### SDK Enhancements
 * `codegen`: Add XXX_Values functions for getting slice of API enums by type.
   * Fixes [#3441](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/issues/3441) by adding a new XXX_Values function for each API enum type that returns a slice of enum values, e.g `DomainStatus_Values`.
+* `aws/request`: Update default retry to retry "use of closed network connection" errors ([#3476](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/pull/3476))
+  * Fixes [#3406](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/issues/3406)
 
 ### SDK Bugs
 * `private/protocol/json/jsonutil`: Fixes a bug that truncated millisecond precision time in API response to seconds. ([#3474](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/pull/3474))
