Changelog

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

Event Hubs

• The library has undergone a major redesign where we now have separate clients for sending and receiving events.
  • Use EventHubProducerClient to send events to Azure Event Hubs
  • Use EventHubConsumerClient to receive events from Azure Event Hubs
• The pull model for receiving events has been removed in favor of an unified push model that will work for:
  • Receiving from given single partition
  • Receiving from all partitions
  • Receiving using a load balanced model where multiple instances of your program can share the load of processing partitions.

Key Vault

• API improvements across the three Keyvault libraries for Keys, Secrets & Certificates based on UX studies and internal reviews. More details are in the changelogs linked below.

Storage

• API improvements across the three Storage libraries for Blobs, Queues & Files based on UX studies and internal reviews. More details are in the changelogs linked below.
