# Release History

## 4.2.0 (2022-03-29)
**Disclaimer**

This package and the `azure.keyvault` namespace does not contain code anymore. This package now installs three sub-packages instead:

* [azure-keyvault-certificates](https://pypi.org/project/azure-keyvault-certificates/)
* [azure-keyvault-keys](https://pypi.org/project/azure-keyvault-keys/)
* [azure-keyvault-secrets](https://pypi.org/project/azure-keyvault-secrets/)

All code needs to be adapted to use the new namespaces. See individual package readmes for details.

## Other Changes
- Python 2.7 is no longer supported. Please use Python version 3.6 or later.

## 4.1.0 (2020-04-10)
**Disclaimer**

This package and the `azure.keyvault` namespace does not contain code anymore. This package now installs three sub-packages instead:

* [azure-keyvault-certificates](https://pypi.org/project/azure-keyvault-certificates/)
* [azure-keyvault-keys](https://pypi.org/project/azure-keyvault-keys/)
* [azure-keyvault-secrets](https://pypi.org/project/azure-keyvault-secrets/)

All code needs to be adapted to use the new namespaces. See individual package readmes for details.

 
## 4.0.0 (2019-10-31)

**Disclaimer**

This package and the `azure.keyvault` namespace does not contain code anymore. This package now installs three sub-packages instead:

* azure-keyvault-keys
* azure-keyvault-secrets

Certificates scenarios are in preview with the additional package `azure-keyvault-certificates`.

All code needs to be adapted to use the new namespaces. See individual package readme for details.

## 1.1.0 (2018-08-07)

* Adding support for multi-api and API profiles

## 1.0.0 (2018-06-27)

* Moving azure-keyvault to stable API version 7.0
* Adding support for EC certificate create and import
* Renaming curve SECP256K1 and algorithm ECDSA256 to P-256K and ES256K respectively

## 1.0.0b1 (2018-04-10)

* Upgraded to autorest 3.0 generated code

**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 preferred.

- 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.
