All:

• Added logging to the library, the name of the logger is 'azure.storage'. User must add handlers to the logger to output logs. Please refer to readme for more info.
• Secondary endpoints may now be specified in connection strings, provided the corresponding primary endpoint is specified. See the connection string documentation for details.
• Fixed an off-by-1 bug in exponential retry interval calculation.
• The library has been split into 5 different packages:
  • azure-storage-common
  • azure-storage-blob
  • azure-storage-file
  • azure-storage-queue
  • azure-storage-nspkg
• azure.storage.table is now releasing under a different namespace: azure-cosmosdb-table. Please refer to github.com/Azure/azure-cosmosdb-python for more info.
• The package azure-storage is now deprecated.
• The classes that were directly under azure.storage, not under azure.storage.*(blob, file, queue), are now under azure.storage.common.
  • Example: azure.storage.retry becomes azure.storage.common.retry
• The methods on the class SharedAccessSignature were moved into corresponding new subclasses in each service package.
  • Example: the methods generate_blob and generate_container were moved to BlobSharedAccessSignature in the blob package. BlobSharedAccessSignature inherits generate_account from SharedAccessSignature in common.
  • Please refer to the reference documentation for more info.

File:

• Added support for creating and deleting share snapshots. See the new 'snapshot_share' method on FileService.
• Most read operations (such as getting properties and metadata) now include an additional snapshot parameter.
