Release history and retirement dates
The Azure SDK for Python repo maintains the release history. For a detailed list of releases, see the changelog file.
Microsoft provides notification at least 12 months in advance of retiring an SDK to smooth the transition to a newer or supported version. New features and functionality and optimizations are only added to the current SDK, so we recommend that you always upgrade to the latest SDK version as early as possible.
Warning
Azure Cosmos DB no longer makes bug fixes or provides support to versions 1.x and 2.x of the Azure Cosmos DB Python SDK for API for NoSQL. If you prefer not to upgrade, the Azure Cosmos DB service continues to serve requests sent from version 1.x and 2.x of the SDK.
FAQ
How will I be notified of the retiring SDK?
Microsoft provides 12 months' advance notice before the end of support for the retiring SDK to help you smoothly transition to a supported SDK. You receive notifications through these communication channels: the Azure portal, Azure updates, and direct communication to assigned service administrators.
Can I author applications by using a to-be-retired Azure Cosmos DB SDK during the 12-month period?
Yes, you can use the to-be-retired Azure Cosmos DB SDK to author, deploy, and modify applications during the 12-month notice period. We recommend that you migrate to a newer supported version of the Azure Cosmos DB SDK during the 12-month notice period, as appropriate.
After the retirement date, what happens to applications that use the unsupported Azure Cosmos DB SDK?
After the retirement date, Azure Cosmos DB no longer makes bug fixes, adds new features, or provides support for the retired SDK versions. If you choose not to upgrade, Azure Cosmos DB continues to serve requests sent from the retired versions of the SDK.
Which SDK versions will have the latest features and updates?
New features and updates are added only to the latest minor version of the latest supported major SDK version. We recommend that you always use the latest version to take advantage of new features, performance improvements, and bug fixes. If you're using an old, non-retired version of the SDK, your requests to Azure Cosmos DB still function, but you don't have access to any new capabilities.
What should I do if I can't update my application before a cutoff date?
We recommend that you upgrade to the latest SDK as early as possible. After an SDK is tagged for retirement, you have 12 months to update your application. If you're not able to update by the retirement date, Azure Cosmos DB continues to serve requests sent from the retired versions of the SDK, so your running applications continue to function. But Azure Cosmos DB no longer makes bug fixes, adds new features, or provides support for the retired SDK versions.
If you have a support plan and require technical support, contact us by filing a support ticket.
How can I request features be added to an SDK or connector?
New features aren't always added to every SDK or connector immediately. If there's a feature that isn't supported that you'd like added, add feedback to our community forum.
