2.11.1 (June 10, 2020)

  • This release fixes couple bugs related to Azure Cosmos DB Emulator Data Explorer:
    • Data Explorer fails to connect to the Azure Cosmos DB Emulator endpoint when hosted in some Web browser versions. Emulator users might not be able to create a database or a container through the Web page.
    • Resolved bug that prevented emulator users from creating an item from a JSON file using Data Explorer upload action.

2.11.0

  • This release introduces support for autoscale provisioned throughput. The added features include the option to set a custom maximum provisioned throughput level in request units (RU/s), enable autoscale on existing databases and containers, and API support through Azure Cosmos DB SDK.

2.9.2

  • This release fixes a bug while enabling support for MongoDb endpoint version 3.2. It also adds support for generating trace messages for troubleshooting purposes using Windows Performance Recorder (WPR) instead of logman.

2.9.1

  • This release fixes couple issues in the query API support and restores compatibility with older operating systems such as Windows Server 2012.

2.9.0

  • This release adds the option to set the consistency to consistent prefix and increase the maximum limits for users and permissions.

2.7.2

  • This release adds MongoDB version 3.6 server support to the Azure Cosmos DB Emulator. To start a MongoDB endpoint that target version 3.6 of the service, start the emulator from an Administrator command line with `/EnableMongoDBEndpoint=3.6`` option.

2.7.0

  • This release fixes a regression in the Azure Cosmos DB Emulator that prevented users from executing SQL related queries. This issue impacts emulator users that configured API for NoSQL endpoint and they're using .NET core or x86 .NET based client applications.

2.4.6

  • This release provides parity with the features in the Azure Cosmos DB service as of July 2019, with noted exceptions. It also fixes several bugs related to emulator shut down when invoked via command line and internal IP address overrides for SDK clients using direct mode connectivity.

2.4.3

  • MongoDB service is no longer started by default. By default, the emulator enables the SQL endpoint. The user must start the endpoint manually using the emulator's /EnableMongoDbEndpoint command-line option. Now, it's like all the other service endpoints, such as Gremlin, Cassandra, and Table.
  • Fixes a bug in the emulator when starting with “/AllowNetworkAccess” where the Gremlin, Cassandra, and Table endpoints weren't correctly handling requests from external clients.
  • Add direct connection ports to the Firewall Rules settings.

2.4.0

  • Fixed an issue with emulator failing to start when network monitoring apps, such as Pulse Client, are present on the host computer.
