## 2.0.0 (2020-01-12)

**Breaking changes**

  - WebSearchAPI main client has been renamed WebSearchClient

**General Breaking Changes**

This version uses a next-generation code generator that might introduce
breaking changes if from some import. In summary, some modules were
incorrectly visible/importable and have been renamed. This fixed several
issues caused by usage of classes that were not supposed to be used in
the first place. WebSearchClient cannot be imported from
azure.cognitiveservices.search.websearch.web_search_api anymore
(import from azure.cognitiveservices.search.websearch works like before)
WebSearchClientConfiguration import has been moved from
azure.cognitiveservices.search.websearch.web_search_api to
azure.cognitiveservices.search.websearch A model MyClass from a "models"
sub-module cannot be imported anymore using
azure.cognitiveservices.search.websearch.models.my_class (import from
azure.cognitiveservices.search.websearch.models works like before) An
operation class MyClassOperations from an operations sub-module cannot
be imported anymore using
azure.cognitiveservices.search.websearch.operations.my_class_operations
(import from azure.cognitiveservices.search.websearch.operations works
like before) Last but not least, HTTP connection pooling is now enabled
by default. You should always use a client as a context manager, or call
close(), or use no more than one client per process.

## 1.0.0 (2018-05-02)

**Features**

  - Client class can be used as a context manager to keep the underlying
    HTTP session open for performance

**General Breaking changes**

This version uses a next-generation code generator that *might*
introduce breaking changes.

  - Model signatures now use only keyword-argument syntax. All
    positional arguments must be re-written as keyword-arguments. To
    keep auto-completion in most cases, models are now generated for
    Python 2 and Python 3. Python 3 uses the "*" syntax for
    keyword-only arguments.
  - Enum types now use the "str" mixin (class AzureEnum(str, Enum)) to
    improve the behavior when unrecognized enum values are encountered.
    While this is not a breaking change, the distinctions are important,
    and are documented here:
    <https://docs.python.org/3/library/enum.html#others> At a glance:
      - "is" should not be used at all.
      - "format" will return the string value, where "%s" string
        formatting will return `NameOfEnum.stringvalue`. Format syntax
        should be prefered.
  - New Long Running Operation:
      - Return type changes from
        `msrestazure.azure_operation.AzureOperationPoller` to
        `msrest.polling.LROPoller`. External API is the same.
      - Return type is now **always** a `msrest.polling.LROPoller`,
        regardless of the optional parameters used.
      - The behavior has changed when using `raw=True`. Instead of
        returning the initial call result as `ClientRawResponse`,
        without polling, now this returns an LROPoller. After polling,
        the final resource will be returned as a `ClientRawResponse`.
      - New `polling` parameter. The default behavior is
        `Polling=True` which will poll using ARM algorithm. When
        `Polling=False`, the response of the initial call will be
        returned without polling.
      - `polling` parameter accepts instances of subclasses of
        `msrest.polling.PollingMethod`.
      - `add_done_callback` will no longer raise if called after
        polling is finished, but will instead execute the callback right
        away.
