Java Storage Client Library 4.2.0

• Added support for setting a library-wide proxy. The default proxy can be set on OperationContext.

• Added support in Page Blob for getting ranges of pages.

Java Storage Client Library 4.1.0

• Added support for client side encryption for blobs, queues and tables.
• Since the encryption preview, added functionality where uploading encrypted blobs can be done with just PutBlob, not PutBlock + PutBlockList, if the blob is small enough.
• Since the encryption preview, fixed bugs in the Table Service where APIs such as 'CreateTable' were trying to encrypt their payload. Encryption is only supported on entities.

Java Storage Client Library 4.0.0

• Removed deprecated table AtomPub support.
• Removed deprecated constructors which take service clients in favor of constructors which take credentials.
• Added support for "Add" permissions on Blob SAS.
• Added support for "Create" permissions on Blob and File SAS.
• Added support for IP Restricted SAS and Protocol SAS.
• Added support for Account SAS to all services.
• Added support for Minute and Hour Metrics to FileServiceProperties and added support for File Metrics to CloudAnalyticsClient.
• Removed deprecated startCopyFromBlob() on CloudBlob. Use startCopy() instead.
• Removed deprecated Credentials and StorageKey classes. Please use the appropriate methods on StorageCredentialsAccountAndKey instead.

Java Storage Client Library 4.0-alpha-1 Encryption Preview

Preview support for client side encryption for blobs, queues and tables.

Java Storage Client Library 3.1.0

• Fixed a bug in table where a select on a non-existent field resulted in a null reference exception if the corresponding field in the TableEntity was not nullable.
• Fixed a bug in table where JsonParser was automatically closing the response stream before it was completely drained causing socket exhaustion.
• Fixed a bug in StorageCredentialsAccountAndKey.updateKey(String) which prevented valid keys from being set.
• Added CloudBlobContainer.listBlobs(final String, final boolean) method.
• Fixed a bug in blob where using AccessConditions on block blob uploads larger than 64MB done with the upload* methods or block blob uploads done openOutputStream with would fail if the blob did not already exist.
• Added support for setting a proxy per request. Proxy can be set on an OperationContext instance and will be used when that instance is passed to the request method.

Java Storage Client Library 3.0.0

• Added support for SAS to the Azure File service.
• Added support for Append Blob.
• Added support for Access Control Lists (ACL) to File Shares.
• Added support for getting and setting of CORS rules to File service.
• Added support for ShareStats to File Shares.
• Added support for copying an Azure File to another Azure File or a Block Blob asynchronously, and aborting Azure File copy operations asynchronously.
• Added support for copying a Blob to an Azure File asynchronously.
• Added support for setting a maximum quota property on a File Share.
• Removed deprecated AuthenticationScheme and its getter and setter. In the future only SharedKey will be used.
• Removed deprecated getter/setters for all request option properties on the service clients. Please use the default request options getter/setters instead.
• Removed getSubDirectoryReference() for blob directories and file directories. Use getDirectoryReference() instead.
• Removed getEntityClass() in TableQuery. Please use getClazzType() instead.
• Added client-side verification for lease duration and break periods.
• Deprecated the setters in table for timestamp as this property is only modifiable by the service.
• Deprecated startCopyFromBlob() on CloudBlob. Use startCopy() instead.
• Deprecated the Credentials and StorageKey classes. Please use the appropriate methods on StorageCredentialsAccountAndKey instead.
• Deprecated constructors which take service clients in favor of constructors which take credentials.
• Fixed a bug where the DateBackwardCompatibility flag was not applied if set on the CloudTableClient default request options.
• Changed library behavior to retry all exceptions thrown when parsing a response object.
• Changed behavior to stop removing query parameters passed in with the resource URI if that URI contains a SAS token. Some query parameters such as comp, restype, snapshot and api-version will still be removed.
• Added support for logging StringToSign to SharedKey and SAS.
• Added a connect timeout to prevent hangs when establishing the network connection.
• Made performance enhancements to the BlobOutputStream class.

Java Storage Client Library 2.2.0

• Fixed a bug where maximum execution time was ignored for file, queue, and table services.
• Changed the socket timeout to be set to the service side timeout plus 5 minutes when maximum execution time is not set.
• Changed the socket timeout to default to 5 minutes rather than infinite when neither service side timeout or maximum execution time are set.
• Fixed a bug where MD5 was calculated for commitBlockList even though UseTransactionalMD5 was set to false.
• Fixed a bug where selecting fields that did not exist returned an error rather than an EntityProperty with a null value.
• Fixed a bug where table entities with a single quote in their partition or row key could be inserted but not operated on in any other way.

Java Storage Client Library 2.1.0

• Fixed a bug for all listing API's where next() would sometimes throw an exception if hasNext() had not been called even if there were more elements to iterate on.
• Added sequence number to the blob properties. This is populated for page blobs.
• Creating a page blob sets its length property.
• Added support for page blob sequence numbers and sequence number access conditions.
• Fixed a bug in abort copy where the lease access condition was not sent to the service.
• Fixed an issue in startCopyFromBlob where if the URI of the source blob contained certain non-ASCII characters they would not be encoded appropriately. This would result in Authorization failures.
• Fixed a small performance issue in XML serialization.
• Fixed a bug in BlobOutputStream and FileOutputStream where flush added data to a request pool rather than immediately committing it to the Azure service.
• Refactored to remove the blob, queue, and file package dependency on table in the error handling code.
• Added additional client-side logging for REST requests, responses, and errors.

Java Storage Client Library 2.0.0

• Deprecated getSubDirectoryReference() for blob directories and file directories. Use getDirectoryReference() instead.
• Fixed a bug where maxResults was not verified to be positive for list operations.
• Fixed a bug where high precision Date values stored on Table Entites were forced to fit into milliseconds resulting in inaccuracies. Precision is limited to 1 millisecond by Java.util.Date. If greater precision is required, the String should be used directly.
• Added TableRequestOptions.dateBackwardCompatibility, which supports reading Date values on Table Entities written using versions of this library prior to 2.0.0. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=523753 for more details.
• Deprecated AuthenticationScheme and its getter and setter. In the future only SharedKey will be used.

Java Storage Client Library 1.2.0

• Added the NameValidator class which contains helpers that check to see if resource names are valid.
• Fixed a bug where the RequestUrl of a LogRecord was not correctly HTML4 decoded. Added a dependency on Apache Commons Lang3.
• Made FileRange class and ListFilesAndDirectories method in the CloudFileDirectory class public.
