azr 0.3.5

CRAN release: 2026-06-26

  • Added azr_dataset(), azr_catalog(), and azr_resolve_dataset() for declaring and resolving Azure Storage datasets across environment tiers.
  • Added azr_logs_client() for running KQL queries against the Azure Log Analytics REST API.
  • Added ManagedIdentityCredential for managed identity authentication via the IMDS endpoint.
  • Added azr_options(), an option registry backing the new azr.* options.
  • Added azure_spark_storage_conf() for generating Spark/Hadoop storage configuration keys, with sovereign-cloud support.
  • Added parse_storage_path() for splitting Azure Storage URIs, including az:///azure:// schemes and sovereign-cloud endpoints.
  • api_client$new() gained a verbose argument that gates request and response logging.
  • azr_graph_client() gained an endpoint argument so the Microsoft Graph host is no longer hardcoded.
  • api_storage_client gained a client_id argument, and list_files() now pages through all results automatically.
  • Breaking: get_credential_provider()’s interactive argument is renamed to allow_interactive, and default_credential_chain() now tries workload identity, managed identity, and Azure CLI ahead of interactive credentials.
  • The base Credential class no longer aborts at construction in non-interactive sessions (deferred to get_token()), and its shared configuration checks moved to a private validate_base() helper.
  • AzureCLICredential’s interactive argument is renamed to auto_login, with login checked lazily in get_token().
  • InteractiveCredential (and AuthCodeCredential/DeviceCodeCredential) renamed its interactive argument to allow_prompt.
  • cached_token_credential_chain() was updated to the renamed allow_prompt/auto_login arguments.
  • Internal: ClientSecretCredential’s $validate() now delegates to the shared validate_base() helper.
  • Internal: RefreshTokenCredential’s $validate() now delegates to the shared validate_base() helper.
  • WorkloadIdentityCredential now performs its required tenant_id/client_id checks in $validate() rather than its constructor body.
  • default_azure_scope() now accepts short service names without the azure_ prefix.
  • Internal azure_services replaces azure_storage_endpoints/azure_scopes, consolidating per-service OAuth hosts and data-plane endpoints.
  • Added internal list_redact_pattern() for redacting named list entries by pattern.
  • Added internal validate_required_string() and deprecated_arg() helpers.
  • Added an .onLoad() hook that registers S7 methods via S7::methods_register().
  • Added namespace imports for the S7 @ operator and rlang’s :=.

azr 0.3.4

CRAN release: 2026-05-09

  • Removed set_azr_defaults() that was announced in 0.3.3 but never shipped. The corresponding getOption() reads in default_azure_host(), default_azure_client_id(), and default_azure_tenant_id() were also not implemented; use environment variables (AZURE_AUTHORITY_HOST, AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_TENANT_ID) instead.
  • WorkloadIdentityCredential now maintains an in-object token cache. Repeated calls to get_token() return the cached token immediately without re-reading the federated token file or exchanging it, until the token expires.
  • AZURE_AUTHORITY_HOST values with an https:// scheme prefix (as recommended by the Azure SDK documentation) are now handled correctly. Previously, setting AZURE_AUTHORITY_HOST=https://login.microsoftonline.com would produce malformed token URLs (#16).

azr 0.3.3

CRAN release: 2026-05-04

  • Added set_azr_defaults() to configure package-level overrides for the authority host, client ID, and tenant ID. These take priority over environment variables in default_azure_host(), default_azure_client_id(), and default_azure_tenant_id().
  • AuthCodeCredential and DeviceCodeCredential now maintain an in-object token cache keyed by scope. Repeated calls to get_token() for the same scope return the cached token immediately without hitting the httr2 cache or refresh token flow.

azr 0.3.2

CRAN release: 2026-03-30

  • is_hosted_session() now detects VS Code (VSCODE_INJECTION, VSCODE_PROXY_URI) and Kubernetes (KUBERNETES_SERVICE_HOST) environments, and supports an azr.hosted option override.
  • Extracted internal try_as_data_table() helper from default_response_handler().

azr 0.3.1

CRAN release: 2026-03-04

  • Interactive credentials (AuthCodeCredential, DeviceCodeCredential) now attempt silent token acquisition via refresh token before prompting the user interactively.

azr 0.3.0

CRAN release: 2026-02-17

  • Added azr_storage_client interface to the Azure Storage API.
  • Added CachedTokenCredential for non-interactive sessions that reuse previously cached tokens from AuthCodeCredential or DeviceCodeCredential without triggering a new authentication flow.
  • Refactored api_client$.fetch(): req_data is now split into separate query and body arguments, req_method is renamed to method, a headers argument was added, and path interpolation now uses rlang::englue() instead of glue::glue().

azr 0.2.1

CRAN release: 2026-01-07

New features

  • Added DefaultCredential for simplified authentication using Azure’s default credential chain.

Bug fixes and improvements

  • Removed dependency on httpuv package.
