Azure/API-Management release-service-2022-10

Release - API Management service: October, 2022

on GitHub

A regular Azure API Management service update was started on October 31, 2022. It may take several weeks for your API Management service to receive the update.

Feature retirements

1. Support for Azure API Management self-hosted gateway version 0 and version 1 ends 1 October 2023.

New features, fixes, and improvements

1. You can now easily validate Azure Active Directory tokens on incoming requests with the new validate-azure-ad-token policy. Learn more in the documentation or blog post.
2. We fixed an issue, where API Management didn't allow clients to open new WebSocket connections even though they didn't exceed the connections limit.
3. API Management updates are now rolled out to one Availability Zone at a time. Previously, updates were rolled out to multiple Availability Zones, reducing the service capacity by up to 50%.
4. You can now use cors and caching policies (cache-store and cache-lookup) inside policy fragments. Previously the cors policy inside policy fragments didn't correctly apply CORS configuration to the API; caching policies couldn't be configured due to an error.
5. API Management scale-out attempts that fail due to insufficient subnet capacity are now properly logged in Activity Logs.
6. XML schema validation with validate-content policy no longer results in validation errors for elements with type "anyType".
7. The execution time of the send-one-way-request policy is no longer included in the backendTime metric in the diagnostic logs, since it's an asynchronous, non-blocking operation. Previously, it was included in the backendTime metric but excluded from the totalTime metric.
