Changelog

Detailed change logs are linked to in the Quick Links below. Here are some critical call outs.

App Configuration.

The latest preview of the @azure/app-configuration package now supports credential objects from the azure/identity package.

Storage

The @azure/storage-file-share package has moved from preview to stable stage. Please note that this package replaces the previous @azure/storage-file package.

Event Hubs

The latest preview for the @azure/event-hubs package has built on top of the previous preview with slight API improvements across the board.

• To send events to a particular partition, the partition id is to be passed to the createBatch method instead of sendBatch.
• The interfaces used by the checkpoint store have been updated to remove overlap between PartitionOwnership and Checkpoint. Therefore, if you have been using the @azure/eventhubs-checkpointstore-blob package to take advantage of the load balancing and checkpointing features, you will need to update it to the latest version as well.
• Checkpoint store is now meant to be passed to the constructor of the EventHubConsumerClient class rather than the subscribe() method on it.
