Breaking changes

• Renamed copy_blob_from_url to start_copy_from_url and changed behaviour to return a dictionary of copy properties rather than a polling object. Status of the copy operation can be retrieved with the get_blob_properties operation.
• Added abort_copy operation to the BlobClient class. This replaces the previous abort operation on the copy status polling operation.
• The behavior of listing operations has been modified:
  • The previous marker parameter has been removed.
  • The iterable response object now supports a by_page function that will return a secondary iterator of batches of results. This function supports a continuation_token parameter to replace the previous marker parameter.
• Some parameters have become keyword only, rather than positional. Some examples include:
  • timeout
  • lease
  • encoding
  • Modification conditions, e.g. if_modified_since, if_match , maxsize_condition, etc

New features

• Added async APIs to subnamespace azure.storage.blob.aio.
• Distributed tracing framework OpenCensus is now supported.

Dependency updates

• Adopted azure-core 1.0.0b2

  • If you later want to revert to azure-storage-blob 12.0.0b1, or another Azure SDK
    library requiring azure-core 1.0.0b1, you must explicitly install azure-core
    1.0.0b1 as well. For example:

  pip install azure-core==1.0.0b1 azure-storage-blob==12.0.0b1

Fixes and improvements

• Fix for SAS URL encoding (#6500)
• General refactor of duplicate and shared code.
