Storage Client Library 8.2.1

Changes in 8.2.1 :

• All: Fixed a bug where empty metadata headers would lead to an infinite loop when trying to list blobs on a container.

Storage Client Library 8.2.0

Changes in 8.2.0

• All: Support for 2017-04-17 REST version. Please see our REST API documentation and blogs for information about the related added features. If you are using the Storage Emulator, please update to Emulator version 5.2.
• Files: Added support for server side encryption.
• PageBlobs: For Premium Accounts only, added support for getting and setting the tier on a page blob. The tier can also be set when creating or copying from an existing page blob.
• Tables (NetCore): Fixed a bug where the empty etag added to the table delete operation would throw exception on Xamarin/Mono.
• All: Fixed a bug where calling OpenWrite with an IfNotExists access condition on an existing block blob only fails when the blob is committed, now it fails with error 409 as soon as OpenWrite is called.
• Files (WinRT/NetCore): Calling CreateIfNotExistsAsync on a root directory no longer throws the error 405. It returns false if the share exists, or throws 404 if not.
• All: Connection string support expanded to allow AccountName to be specified with SharedAccessSignature and DefaultEndpointsProtocol. In this case, SharedAccessSignature is used for credentials, while having both DefaultEndpointsProtocol and AccountName allows the library to infer a set of default endpoints. Additionally, we have added support for BlobSecondaryEndpoint, QueueSecondaryEndpoint, TableSecondaryEndpoint, and FileSecondaryEndpoint. Specifying a secondary endpoint requires the specification of the corresponding primary.
• All: The use of DefaultEndpointsProtocol in a connection string is now optional in the case where endpoints would be automatically generated; if missing, a value of https will be inferred. When the parsed account settings in such a case are used to generate a connection string, the value of DefaultEndpointsProtocol will be explicitly included.
• Tables: Added TableEntityAdapter class to allow writing and reading simple or complex objects to Azure Table Storage without the need to implement ITableEntity interface or inherit from TableEntity class.

Storage Client Library 8.1.4

Changes in 8.1.4 :

• All(Desktop): Fixed a regression in the executor caused by disposing the SendStream during parallel operations.

Storage Client Library 8.1.3

Changes in 8.1.3 :

• Blobs (Desktop) : Fixed a bug where the MaximumExecutionTime was not honored, leading to infinite wait, if due to a failure, e.g., a network failure after receiving the response headers, server stopped sending partial response.
• All(Desktop) : Fixed a memory leak issue where the SendStream was not being disposed during retries, cancellations and Table Operations.

Storage Client Library 8.1.1

Changes in 8.1.1 :

• All (NetStandard/NetCore): Removed Microsoft.Data.Services.Client as a temporary fix to ODataLib dependency incompatibility with NetStandard

Changes in 8.1.0 :

• All: Updated OData references to the latest Netstandard friendly package version 5.8.2.
• Queues (WinRT/NetCore): Fixed a bug where connections were not closed after an add message operation.

Changes in 8.0.1 :

• (NetStandard/Xamarin) : Fix for a break in Xamarin Apps with Streaming APIs caused by NotImplemented IncrementalHash APIs in Xamarin Runtime.

Storage Client Library 8.0.0

Breaking Changes since 7.0

• All: (Desktop) Updated the desktop library to target .Net 4.5.0
• Queues: Add Message now modifies the PopReceipt, Id, NextVisibleTime, InsertionTime, and ExpirationTime properties of its CloudQueueMessage parameter. The message can then be passed to the UpdateMessage and DeleteMessage APIs.

• All: Added logging for the ExtendedErrorInformation 'ErrorMessage' attribute via StorageException ToString() method.
• Files: Changed Exists() calls on CloudFileDirectory objects to now populate metadata. This was already being done for CloudFiles and CloudFileShares.
• Blobs: Change boundary checks for lease duration to be in line with those used in the REST endpoints.

• All: Added Key Rotation support for Client Side Encryption.
• All: Fixed a race condition where calls to CreateIfNotExistsAsync and DeleteIfExistsAsync might never complete when the operation is canceled.
