    I do not understand what package is ‘Azure Functions for .NET version 1.0: Initial Release’ ? Do you have a link or documentation about this initial release ?

  • Neil MacMullen 0

    Always amazes me when I see an announcement of a new release for something *without any indication of how to update to it* 😉 If I’m a VS user, I assume this “release” will just turn up as what… ? A Visual Studio update ? A new set of nuget packages ?
