Functions 0.4.10307 (1.0.0-beta1-10307)

Main things in this release are called out below. You can also review the raw commits since the last release.

• Lots of bug fixes (See the issues we closed out in this milestone)
• Function Exclusion : added the ability to exclude functions via new function level “excluded” metadata property
  • set the excluded: true function metadata property to have the host completely ignore a function and not load it. It will not be invokable, even via the portal
  • this differs from the existing disabled: true function property, which tells the host to load the function, just not automatically trigger it, and only make it accessible via the portal (not regular requests)
• Changes to rand-guid binding parameter (Breaking)
  • previously you would use %rand-guid% (e.g. in a blob path mycontainer/%rand-guid%)
  • syntax has changed to {rand-guid} (e.g. in a blob path mycontainer/{rand-guid})
• Support for multiple Function exports
  • added a new function level metadata property entryPoint which allows a function to explicitly declare its entry point
  • if a function has multiple named exports and no entryPoint property is specified, and there is an export named run by convention, it is used. If there is only a single named export, it is used.
  • e.g. this allows a Node function to export multiple functions to aid in testability
  • similarly, for C# the function code can include multiple functions (same logic as above)
• Large refactoring of the binding pipeline for extensibility
