Release highlights

AI Evaluation 1.6.0 Changelog

Features Added

  • New <evaluator>.binary_aggregate field added to evaluation result metrics. This field contains the aggregated binary evaluation results for each evaluator, providing a summary of the evaluation outcomes.
  • Added support for Azure Open AI evaluation via 4 new ‘grader’ classes, which serve as wrappers around Azure Open AI grader configurations. These new grader objects can be supplied to the main evaluate method as if they were normal callable evaluators. The new classes are:
  • AzureOpenAIGrader (general class for experienced users)
  • AzureOpenAILabelGrader
  • AzureOpenAIStringCheckGrader
  • AzureOpenAITextSimilarityGrader

Breaking Changes

  • In the experimental RedTeam’s scan method, the data_only param has been replaced with skip_evals and if you do not want data to be uploaded, use the skip_upload flag.

Bugs Fixed

  • Fixed error in evaluate where data fields could not contain numeric characters. Previously, a data file with schema: 
    "query1": "some query", "response": "some response"

    throws error when passed into evaluator_config as {"evaluator_name": {"column_mapping": {"query": "${data.query1}", "response": "${data.response}"}},}. Now, users may import data containing fields with numeric characters.

AI Projects 1.0.0b9 Changelog

Breaking Changes

Redesigned automatic function calls because agents retrieved by update_agent and get_agent do not support them. With the new design, the toolset parameter in create_agent no longer executes toolcalls automatically during create_and_process_run or create_stream. To retain this behavior, call enable_auto_function_calls without additional changes.

Features added

  • Utilities to load prompt template strings and Prompty file content
  • Added BingCustomSearchTool class with sample
  • Added list_threads API to agents namespace
  • Added image input support for agents create_message

AI Projects 1.0.0b10 Changelog

Features added

  • Added ConnectedAgentTool class for better connected Agent support.
  • Added Agent tool call tracing for all tool call types when streaming with AgentEventHandler based event handler.
  • Added tracing for listing Agent run steps.
  • Add a max_retry argument to the enable_auto_function_calls function to cancel the run if the maximum number of retries for auto function calls is reached.

Bugs Fixed

App Configuration Provider 2.0.2 Changelog

Other Changes

  • Updates telemetry for JSON usage.

App Configuration Provider 2.1.0 Changelog

Features Added

  • Added AllocationId to the feature flag telemetry metadata when the feature flag has telemetry enabled.

Azure Monitor OpenTelemetry 1.6.8 Changelog

Bugs Fixed

  • Pin OTel before breaking change. (#40529)

Confidential Ledger 1.2.0b1 Changelog

Features Added

  • Add and manage custom roles with the update_user_defined_role, get_user_defined_role and delete_user_defined_role methods
  • Add and manage ledger users with the create_or_update_ledger_user, delete_ledger_user, get_ledger_user and list_ledger_users methods
  • Add and manage programmable endpoints with the create_user_defined_endpoint and get_user_defined_endpoint methods
  • A user can now be associated with more than one role
  • Added user defined functions support for ledger API

Core - Client - Core 1.34.0 Changelog

Features Added

  • Added a set_span_error_status method to the OpenTelemetryTracer class. This method allows users to set the status of a span to ERROR after it has been created. #40703

Cosmos DB 4.11.0b1 Changelog

Features Added

  • Added ability to set throughput_bucket header at the client level and for all requests. See PR 40340.
  • Added ability to use Filters from Logging module on Diagnostics Logging based on Http request/response related attributes. See PR 39897.
  • Added ability to use excluded_locations on client level and document API request level. See PR 40298

Bugs Fixed

  • Fixed bug where change feed requests would not respect the partition key filter. See PR 40677.
  • Fixed how the environment variables in the sdk are parsed. See PR 40303.
  • Fixed health check to check the first write region when it is not specified in the preferred regions. See PR 40588.
  • Fixed response_hook not getting called for aggregate queries. See PR 40696.
  • Fixed bug where writes were being retried for 5xx status codes for patch and replace. See PR 40672.

Event Hubs 5.15.0 Changelog

Bugs Fixed

  • Fixed a bug where service errors were incorrectly required and expected to have info/description fields.
  • Fixed a bug so that the BufferedProducer ThreadPoolExecutor uses one worker per partition. (#38961)

Features Added

  • Added support for geo-replication and disaster recovery-enabled Event Hubs. To learn more about geo-replication, refer to this doc. To enable geo-replication on your Dedicated Event Hubs namespace, refer to this guide.
  • Added a class method from_bytes to EventData to create from a message payload of bytes. (#39711)

Identity 1.22.0 Changelog

Bugs Fixed

  • Fixed an issue with error handling in MSAL-based credentials when the response content is a string rather than a dictionary. (#40281)

Breaking Changes

  • Previously, if a client_id or identity_config was specified in ManagedIdentityCredential for Service Fabric managed identity, which is not supported, the client_id (or resource_id/object_id specified identity_config) would be silently ignored. Now, an exception will be raised during a token request if a client_id or identity_config is specified for Service Fabric managed identity.
