Release Supportability

  • The Azure SDK for Go now requires Go version 1.18 to support generics. This change won’t break customers using old code bases. Customers can upgrade to version 1.18 and still run their current code. They can’t, however, run the Azure SDK for Go libraries with versions 1.17 or earlier.
  • Support of Python 2 ended on January 1, 2020. Upgrade to Python 3 to avoid any issues and potential security vulnerabilities in your applications. The Python Software Foundation (PSF), provides a tool (2to3) to automatically migrate from Python 2 to Python 3 and a migration guide with more detailed information.
