## Changelog

Detailed changelogs are linked from the [Quick Links](#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](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/tree/main/sdk/eventhub/Azure.Messaging.EventHubs#event-hubs-exception) 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.
