Here are the main changes in this release:

• Custom Http Routes - support for custom routes and route templates/constraints
  • ability to specify custom routes for functions, with arbitrarily complex route constraints (e.g. "route": "products/{Category:alpha}/{Id:int}"). Documentation on supported constraint formats can be found here. Basically this is just regular Asp.Net WebApi routing.
  • integrates captured route parameters with our binding data pipeline
  • allow for the default "api" route prefix to be customized or completely removed via host.json
  • see PR for details

  • the v3 APIs are quite different and the move results in quite a few breaking changes
  • see our updated SendGrid templates or the following PR for migration details
  • see PR for details
• Multi-Table Support for Function Logs (breaking)
  • log tables contain a month of logging data, and automatically roll to new tables
  • allows for efficient log purging + history management
  • see core SDK PR
• Cardinality Support for input bindings
  • e.g. we now allow a Node.js EventHub trigger binding to receive an array of events
  • declared via a new cardinality binding property (e.g. cardinality: 'many')
  • addresses #618
