Release Notes

Changes
Added Start Menu Item for Easy Startup
Added Link to Getting Started Document
Added Ability to Persist Subscription Data to Disk
Fixed Get-Deployment to not throw on empty slot
Simplified numerous default values for cmdlets

Breaking Changes:
-SubscriptionName is now mandatory in Set-Subscription.

-DefaultStorageAccountName and -DefaultStorageAccountKey parameters were removed from Set-Subscription. Instead, when adding multiple accounts to a subscription, each one needs to be added with -StorageAccountName and -StorageAccountKey or -ConnectionString. To set a default storage account, use Set-Subscription –DefaultStorageAccount <account name>.

In previous releases, the subscription data was not persisted between PowerShell sessions. When importing subscription settings from a publishsettings file downloaded from the management portal, the Import-Subscription cmdlet optionally saved the subscription information to a file that could then be restored using Set-Subscription thereafter. This behavior has changed. Now, imported subscription data is always persisted to the subscription data file and is immediately available in subsequent sessions. Set-Subscription can be used to update these subscription settings or to create additional subscription data sets.

Renamed -CertificateToDeploy parameter to -CertToDeploy in Add-Certificate.

Reviews for this release

     
Pretty good release, but it is missing functionality for managing certain Azure features (eg. ServiceBus). Also, cmdlet names need additional clarity, such that naming conflicts are avoided. (eg. Get-AzureHostedService instead of Get-HostedService).
