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.

• CustomVisionPredictionClient cannot be imported from azure.cognitiveservices.vision.customvision.prediction anymore (import from azure.cognitiveservices.vision.customvision works like before)
• CustomVisionPredictionClientConfiguration import has been moved from azure.cognitiveservices.vision.customvision.prediction to azure.cognitiveservices.vision.customvision.prediction
• A model MyClass from a "models" sub-module cannot be imported anymore using azure.cognitiveservices.vision.customvision.prediction.models.my_class (import from azure.cognitiveservices.vision.customvision.prediction.models works like before)
• An operation class MyClassOperations from an operations sub-module cannot be imported anymore using azure.cognitiveservices.vision.customvision.operations.prediction.my_class_operations (import from azure.cognitiveservices.vision.customvision.prediction.operations works like before)
• CustomVisionTrainingClient cannot be imported from azure.cognitiveservices.vision.customvision.training anymore (import from azure.cognitiveservices.vision.customvision works like before)
• CustomVisionTrainingClientConfiguration import has been moved from azure.cognitiveservices.vision.customvision.training to azure.cognitiveservices.vision.customvision.training
• A model MyClass from a "models" sub-module cannot be imported anymore using azure.cognitiveservices.vision.customvision.training.models.my_class (import from azure.cognitiveservices.vision.customvision.training.models works like before)
• An operation class MyClassOperations from an operations sub-module cannot be imported anymore using azure.cognitiveservices.vision.customvision.operations.training.my_class_operations (import from azure.cognitiveservices.vision.customvision.training.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 (2019-03-22)

This is a stable release of the Cognitive Services Custom Vision SDK.

Training

• Added an advanced training option to set a budget to train longer for improved iteration performance.
• Added additional export options targetting Vision AI Dev Kit and Docker ARM for Raspberry Pi.

Prediction

• PredictImage and PredictImageUrl have been replaced with project type specific calls. ClassifyImage and ClassifyImageUrl for image classification projects. DetectImage and DetectImageUrl for object detection projects .
• Prediction methods now take a name to designate which published iteration to use. Iterations can be published using the Custom Vision Training SDK.

0.4.0 (2018-11-13)

• The API client name was changed from TrainingAPI to CustomVisionTrainingClient, in keeping with other Azure SDKs.
• The way the Azure region is specfied has changed. Specifically, the AzureRegion property was dropped in favor of an Endpoint property. If you were previously specifying an AzureRegion value, you should now specify Endpoint='https://{AzureRegion}.api.cognitive.microsoft.com' instead. This change ensures better global coverage.
• Added ONNX 1.2 as an export option
• Added negative tag support.

0.3.0 (2018-07-12)

Features

• Added ability to create Multilabel or Multiclass image classification projects
• Fixes and improvements to Docker container export and export pipeline to know when a newer version is available

0.2.0 (2018-05-07)

Breaking changes

• Expect many breaking changes. As a preview package, we don't detail, but updated samples are available at: https://github.com/Azure-Samples/cognitive-services-python-sdk-samples

Features

• Adding support for object detection projects and expanded export functionality for image classification projects
• Client class can be used as a context manager to keep the underlying HTTP session open for performance

Bugfixes

• Compatibility of the sdist with wheel 0.31.0

Internal API version moved from 1.2 to 2.0

0.1.0 (2018-04-05)

• Initial Release
