Breaking Changes in SDK version 1.0.0-beta.1
The Image Analysis SDK was rewritten in version 1.0.0-beta.1 to better align with other Azure SDKs. All APIs have changed. See the updated quickstart, samples and how-to-guides for information on how to use the new SDK.
Major changes:
- The SDK now calls the generally available Computer Vision REST API (2023-10-01), instead of the preview Computer Vision REST API (2023-04-01-preview).
- Support for JavaScript was added.
- C++ is no longer supported.
- Image Analysis with a custom model, and Image Segmentation (background removal) are no longer supported in the SDK, because the Computer Vision REST API (2023-10-01) does not yet support them. To use either feature, call the Computer Vision REST API (2023-04-01-preview) directly (using the
AnalyzeandSegmentoperations respectively).
Supported languages
