IMPORTANT CHANGE IN BEHAVIOR THAT AFFECTS TABLE STORAGE USERS:
The library now converts any datetime object in an entity to UTC before writing
the value to Azure, and it sets the timezone (tzinfo) to UTC on the entities
it reads from Azure. On a related note, python-dateutil is now an external
dependency.
Note that the 1.0 release will have breaking changes. We encourage you to set your version dependency to a fixed version or less than 1.0 ie. azure==0.9 or azure<1.0.
The other changes in this release are:
- Ability to pass in to management APIs a Session object from the requests
library (or any compatible). This allows more flexibility for authentication,
including oauth. - New service management APIs
- list_role_sizes
- list_subscriptions (oauth only)
