Release highlights

Azure AI Search 11.6.0-beta.1 Changelog

Features Added

  • Added all the new types and updated the names as defined in the GA version 11.5.0.

Container Registry 1.1.1 Changelog

Bugs Fixed

  • Fixed an issue where content client DownloadBlobStreaming() method would throw for blobs greater than 2GB in size. (#37113)
  • Fixed an issue in the ACR client to enable redirects due to the change in Azure.Core 1.33.0, which made redirects disabled by default. (#39377)

Content Safety 1.0.0 Changelog

Breaking Changes

Contract change for AnalyzeText, AnalyzeImage, Blocklist management related methods

AnalyzeText
  • AnalyzeTextOptions
  • Renamed BreakByBlocklists to HaltOnBlocklistHit
  • Added AnalyzeTextOutputType
  • AnalyzeTextResult
  • Renamed BlocklistsMatchResults to BlocklistsMatch
  • Replaced TextAnalyzeSeverityResult by TextCategoriesAnalysis
AnalyzeImage
  • AnalyzeImageOptions
  • Replaced ImageData by ContentSafetyImageData
  • Added AnalyzeImageOutputType
  • AnalyzeImageResult
  • Replaced ImageAnalyzeSeverityResult by ImageCategoriesAnalysis
Blocklist management
  • Added BlocklistAsyncClient
  • Renamed AddBlockItemsOptions to AddOrUpdateTextBlocklistItemsOptions
  • Renamed AddBlockItemsResult to AddOrUpdateTextBlocklistItemsResult
  • Renamed RemoveBlockItemsOptions to RemoveTextBlocklistItemsOptions
  • Renamed TextBlockItemInfo to TextBlocklistItem

Features Added

  • Support Microsoft Entra ID Authentication
  • Support 8 severity level for AnalyzeText

Core - Client - Core 1.37.0 Changelog

Bugs Fixed

  • Fixed exponential retry behavior so that delay milliseconds greater than Int32.MaxValue do not trigger an exception.
  • Fixed DelayStrategy behavior to no longer shift the delay to be used over by one attempt. Previously, the first delay would be what should have been used for the second, and the second was what should have been used for the third, etc. Note, this would only be observed when using DelayStrategy outside of a RetryPolicy or RetryOptions.
  • Do not add the error.type attribute twice when tracing is enabled.
  • Do not suppress nested activities when they occur in the context of Consumer/Server activities (e.g. BlobClient.Download is no longer suppressed under EventHubs.Process).

Core Newtonsoft Json 2.0.0 Changelog

Added

  • Update to Newtonsoft.Json 13.0.1

OpenAI Inference 1.0.0-beta.12 Changelog

Features Added

Updates for using streaming tool calls:

  • A new .NET-specific StreamingToolCallUpdate type has been added to better represent streaming tool call updates when using chat tools.
  • This new type includes an explicit ToolCallIndex property, reflecting index in the REST schema, to allow resilient deserialization of parallel function tool calling.
  • A convenience constructor has been added for ChatRequestAssistantMessage that can automatically populate from a prior ChatResponseMessage when using non-streaming chat completions.
  • A public constructor has been added for ChatCompletionsFunctionToolCall to allow more intuitive reconstruction of ChatCompletionsToolCall instances for use in ChatRequestAssistantMessage instances made from streaming responses.

Other additions:

  • To facilitate reuse of user message contents, ChatRequestUserMessage now provides a public Content property (string) as well as a public MultimodalContentItems property (IList<ChatMessageContentItem).
  • Content is the conventional plain-text content and will be populated as non-null when the a ChatRequestUserMessage() constructor accepting a string is used to instantiate the message.
  • MultimodalContentItems is the new compound content type, currently only usable with gpt-4-vision-preview, that allows hybrid use of text and image references. It will be populated when an appropriate ChatRequestUserMessage() constructor accepting a collection of ChatMessageContentItem instances is used.
  • Role is also restored to common visibility to ChatRequestUserMessage.

Breaking Changes

  • The type of ToolCallUpdate on StreamingChatCompletionsUpdate has been changed from the non-streaming ChatCompletionsToolCall to the new StreamingToolCallUpdate type. The conversion is straightforward:
  • ToolCallUpdate.Id remains unchanged.
  • Instead of casting ToolCallUpdate to ChatCompletionsFunctionToolCall, cast it to StreamingToolCallUpdate.
  • Update cast instance use of functionToolCallUpdate.Arguments to accumulate functionToolCallUpdate.ArgumentsUpdate.
  • Removed the parameterized constructor of the ChatCompletionsOptions class that only received the messages as a parameter in favor of the parameterized constructor that receives the deployment name as well. This makes it consistent with the implementation of other Options classes.
  • Removed the setter of the Input property of the EmbeddingsOptions class as per the guidelines for collection properties.
