### Important

The Azure SDK team is pleased to make available the November 2019 client library General Availability (GA) release.

### Client: GA December 2019 Releases
### Client: GA January 2020 Releases

New wave of packages that were released in December 2019 client library as General Availability (GA) and several others that were released in **beta**. These libraries follow the [Azure SDK Design Guidelines for Java](https://azure.github.io/azure-sdk/java/guidelines/) and share a number of core features such as HTTP retries, logging, transport protocols, authentication protocols, etc., so that once you learn how to use these features in one client library, you will know how to use them in other client libraries. You can learn about these shared features [here](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-java/blob/azure-core_1.1.0/sdk/core/azure-core/README.md).
