Event Hubs

This release contains bug fixes to improve quality.

Key Vault (Certificates, Keys, Secrets)

  • Add support to the 7.1-preview service API version.

  • The clients (Certificates/Keys/Secrets) now support multiple service API versions. The latest supported version (7.1-preview) is used by default.

  • The Certificate client now imports certificates with application/x-pem-file content-type as is, without modifications.

Text Analytics

  • [Breaking] Renamed id to dataSourceEntityId in the LinkedEntity type.
  • Added special handling for the string "none" as the countryHint parameter of the TextAnalyticsClient.detectLanguage. "none" is now treated the same as the empty string, and indicates that the default language detection model should be used.
  • [Breaking] Renamed offset to graphemeOffset and length to graphemeLength in fields of response objects as appropriate in order to make it clear that the offsets and lengths are in units of Unicode graphemes.
  • [Breaking] Renamed sentimentScores on both DocumentSentiment and SentenceSentiment to confidenceScores, and renamed the type SentimentScorePerLabel to SentimentConfidenceScores.
  • [Breaking] Renamed characterCount to graphemeCount in the DocumentStatistics interface, to align with the change to using grapheme in the lengths/offsets of response objects.
  • Initial implementation of the data-plane Cognitive Search Client. The version number starts at 11 to align with client libraries in other languages.
  • This first preview has support for document operations on an index, such as querying and document management.
