CloudFormation AutoRefresh Extension

This extension adds an automatic refresh button on the Events tab when viewing the details of an AWS CloudFormation stack. Clicking on the \"Auto Refresh\" button will periodically refresh the event list until the \"Stop Refreshing\" button is clicked. This is useful for monitoring the status of stacks that take an extended period of time to deploy or update as there is no automatic refresh capability within the AWS console.
