Storage Client Library 5.0.0

• All: Support for 2015-02-21 REST version. Please see our REST API documentation and blogs for information about the related added features.
• All: Added GA support for Client Side Encryption. For more information about our encryption, please see our documentation and samples.
• All: Deprecated the overload for GetSharedAccessSignature that takes a SAS version because the SAS tokens generated using the current version work fine with old libraries.
• All: Updated the error message for the error that is thrown for having more than 5 shared access policy identifiers to include shares.
• All: Made SyncMemoryStream, a MemoryStream implementation that runs synchronously even when asynchronous overloads are called public.
• All: Updated OData dependencies to v5.6.4 and Newtonsoft.Json dependency to 6.0.8. Removed Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ConfigurationManager dependency.

• Blobs: MultiBufferMemoryStream objects passed as argument to upload methods are not disposed by the client library.
• Blobs: Added CloudAppendBlob class. For more information on this, please refer to the REST API link.
• Blobs: Deprecated StartCopyFromBlob() using the Obsolete attribute. Use StartCopy() instead.
