v1.1.0-rc1

• Added TimeoutAttribute allowing functions to declaratively request function cancellation when a timeout expires. This builds on our existing CancellationToken binding support.
  • The attribute can be applied at the class/method level. A global timeout can also be specified via JobHostConfiguration.FunctionTimeout.
  • To receive the timeout cancellation, a function must include a CancellationToken parameter
  • The function should pass the token along to any sub Tasks that are initiated. If the function is not async, it can poll the token for cancellation (CancellationToken.IsCancellationRequested), or use the other CancellationToken monitoring methods.
  • sample here
• Added DisableAttribute allowing for contitional enable/disable of triggered functions (see sample here).
  • e.g. you can dynamically enable/disable functions based on application settings
• Added a CloudBlobDirectory binding for blobs
• Updates to Singleton

  • added SingletonMode allowing for Listener level singletons
• Change JobHost to start all triggered function listeners in parallel
• WebHook Trigger Updates

  • added ASP.NET WebHooks SDK integration
