Background Task Manager

• With this release we have included a "Background Task Manager" which will be responsible for managing long running operations (like blob uploads/downloads etc.). One neat feature we have implemented here is that these background tasks can continue to run even if the main application is closed.

Cosmos DB - Cancel Query

• For Cosmos DB (SQL API), you can now cancel long running queries and make the UI unblocked.

Search Service - Indexers Status

• In this release we have included a feature where you can view the status of all indexers in a single screen. Earlier you had to view the status of each indexer separately.
