DISCLAIMER¶
This is a release candidate. However, the core packages, from code quality/completeness perspectives can at this time be considered “stable” - it will be officially labeled as such in September (in sync with other languages).
We are not planning on any further major changes until then.
The following packages are still labeled “preview” but can be considered “stable”:
- azure-mgmt-resource 0.30.0rc6
- azure-mgmt-compute 0.30.0rc6
- azure-mgmt-network 0.30.0rc6
- azure-mgmt-storage 0.30.0rc6
The following packages are already released as “stable” and are officially production ready:
- azure-batch 1.0.0
- azure-mgmt-batch 1.0.0
- azure-servicebus 0.20.3
- azure-servicemanagement-legacy 0.20.4
All other packages are real “preview” packages. Please send us your feedback!
