Changelog

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

Identity Changelog

Breaking Changes

• User authentication and cache configuration APIs added since 1.4.0b1 have been removed (see the full changelog for details). They will return in 1.5.0b1.
• Renamed VSCodeCredential to VisualStudioCodeCredential

Text Analytics Changelog

• Re-released GA version 1.0.0 under new version 5.0.0

Service Bus Changelog

New Features

• This release continues to move towards feature parity with the existing sdk. Recommend reading migration guide and full changelog for details.
• Added properties to Message, PeekMessage and ReceivedMessage such as content_type, label, message_id, dead_letter_error_description and delivery_count. Please refer to the docstring for further information, and service bus changelog for full enumeration.
• Added new supported value types int, float, datetime and timedelta for CorrelationFilter.properties.
• Added new properties parameters and requires_preprocessing to SqlRuleFilter and SqlRuleAction.
• Added an explicit method to fetch the continuous receiving iterator, get_streaming_message_iter() such that max_wait_time can be specified as an override.
• Added support for sending received messages via ServiceBusSender.send_messages.
• Added on_lock_renew_failure as a parameter to AutoLockRenew.register, taking a callback for when the lock is lost non-intentially (e.g. not via settling, shutdown, or autolockrenew duration completion).

Breaking changes

• Removed/Renamed several properties and instance variables on Message, PeekMessage, and ReceivedMessage, such as renaming user_properties -> properties and removing annotations settled and expired. Please refer to the service bus changelog for a full enumeration.
• AutoLockRenew.sleep_time and AutoLockRenew.renew_period have been made internal as _sleep_time and _renew_period respectively, as it is not expected a user will have to interact with them.
• AutoLockRenew.shutdown is now AutoLockRenew.close to normalize with other equivalent behaviors.
• Management objects have been renamed (e.g. QueueDescription -> QueueProperties) and had their method parameters adjusted accordingly, with create_* now taking a name parameter instead of a description object, and update_* explicitly taking a properties object (as obtained from get_*) to guard against partial updates. As before, please refer to the official changelog for a more complete enumeration.
• Renamed idle_timeout in get_<queue/subscription>_receiver() to max_wait_time to normalize with naming elsewhere.
• Updated uAMQP dependency to 1.2.10 such that the receiver does not shut down when generator times out, and can be received from again.

Form Recognizer Changelog

Breaking changes

• Version of this package bumped to 3.0.0b1 and now targets the service's stable v2.0 API
• Values are now capitalized for enums FormContentType, LengthUnit, TrainingStatus, and CustomFormModelStatus
• document_name renamed to name on TrainingDocumentInfo
• Keyword argument include_sub_folders renamed to include_subfolders on begin_training methods

New features

• FormField now has attribute value_type which contains the semantic data type of the field value. The options for value_type are described in the enum FieldValueType

Search Changelog

New Features

• new SearchIndexDocumentBatchingClient

SearchIndexDocumentBatchingClient supports handling document indexing actions in an automatic way. It can trigger the flush method automatically based on pending tasks and idle time.
