instance-type page changed

It looks like the instance-type page has changed. Looking at the Asgard logs I see the following:

It looks like Amazon rolled out a new intance types page today at a different location http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/instance-details/.

We've rolled out a temporary change that should work if you build from source now. We'll work on a more permanent fix tomorrow and roll out a new binary release once that's implemented.

Any news here? Tried to install the latest asgard 1.2 but installation gut stuck with the same messages.

It's working for other people, so it's possible that your installation still has a cache of older code somewhere. Try deleting Tomcat's work directory and restarting Tomcat. That fixes problems like this a lot of the time.
