Installation

Anyone can start using the v1.1.0-beta2 release by referencing the latest Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.DurableTask NuGet package in their projects.

Visual Studio 2017 (Functions 1.0)

Update your .csproj file with the following package reference:

<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.DurableTask" Version="1.1.0-beta2" />

Azure Functions CLI (Functions 2.0)

Use the following command to install the updated extension into your project:

func extensions install -p Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.DurableTask -v 1.1.0-beta2

Azure Portal

The Azure Portal templates do not currently support installing or updating to v1.1.0-beta2. :( Please consider using the Azure Functions CLI experience instead, and deploying your local changes to Azure.

Breaking Changes

There are both compile time and runtime breaking changes in this release, so it is highly recommended to use this new package version with new function apps.

If you have an existing function app that you would like to migrate to this version, please see the versioning and migration strategies documentations for best practices.
