- Fixed an issue that caused the following NotFoundException: The read session is not available for the input session token. This exception occurred in some cases when querying for the read-region of a geo-distributed account.
- Exposed the ResponseStream property in the ResourceResponse class, which enables direct access to the underlying stream from a response.
- Modified the ResourceResponse, FeedResponse, StoredProcedureResponse and MediaResponse classes to implement the corresponding public interface so that they can be mocked for test driven deployment (TDD).
- Fixed an issue that caused a malformed partition key header when using a custom JsonSerializerSettings object for serializing data.
- Fixed an issue that caused long running queries to fail with error: Authorization token is not valid at the current time.
- Fixed an issue that removed the original SqlParameterCollection from cross partition top/order-by queries.
- Added support for parallel queries for partitioned collections.
- Added support for cross partition ORDER BY and TOP queries for partitioned collections.

IndexingPolicy to support Order By
Possible breaking change
If you have existing code that provisions collections with a custom indexing policy, then your existing code needs to be updated to support the new IndexingPolicy class. If you have no custom indexing policy, then this change does not affect you.
-
- Added support for partitioning data by using the new HashPartitionResolver and RangePartitionResolver classes and the IPartitionResolver.
- Added DataContract serialization.

- GA SDK
Microsoft provides notification at least 12 months in advance of retiring an SDK in order to smooth the transition to a newer/supported version.
New features and functionality and optimizations are only added to the current SDK, as such it is recommended that you always upgrade to the latest SDK version as early as possible.
Any requests to Azure Cosmos DB using a retired SDK are rejected by the service.
