Changelog

Detailed changelogs are linked from the Quick Links below. Here are some of the highlights:

Event Hubs

  • Namespaces have been reorganized to align types to their functional area. Cross-functional types have been left in the root namespace while specialized types were moved to the Producer, Consumer, or Processor namespaces.

  • The hierarchy of custom exceptions has been flattened, with only the EventHubsException remaining. The well-known failure scenarios that had previously been represented as stand-alone types are now exposed by the Reason property. Please see the Event Hubs README for details.

Key Vault

  • Challenge-based authentication requests are only sent over HTTPS.

Storage

  • Added Exists API to BlobBaseClient and BlobContainerClient
  • Fixed SAS related bugs
  • Fixed progress reporting for parallel uploads
  • Fixed issue where certain query parameters were not being logged for DataLake.

Text Analytics

  • This library supports only the Text Analytics Service v3.0-preview.1 API. The previous Microsoft.Azure.CognitiveServices.Language.TextAnalytics library supported only earlier service versions.
  • The namespace/package name for Azure Text Analytics client library has changed from Microsoft.Azure.CognitiveServices.Language.TextAnalytics to Azure.AI.TextAnalytics
  • Added support for:
    • Subscription key and AAD authentication for both synchronous and asynchronous clients.
    • Detect Language.
    • Separation of Entity Recognition and Entity Linking.
    • Identification of Personally Identifiable Information.
    • Analyze Sentiment APIs including analysis for mixed sentiment.
