• New Similar Terms example
• /text-embedding endpoint changed to /semantics/vector
• /text-embedding example changed to /semantics/vector example

1.12.1 (December 11, 2018)

• No functional changes. Infrastructure related.

1.11.0 (August 27, 2018)

• The TextEmbeddingResponse class now allows users to request per-token embeddings from the /text-embedding endpoint. This can be enabled by setting perToken to true.
• The TextEmbeddingResponse class embedding field has been renamed to documentEmbedding. Additionally, two fields, tokens and tokenEmbeddings, have been added to the class in order to reflect the /text-embedding endpoint's new support for per-token embeddings.

1.9.1 (Develop)

1.9.0

• Multilingual language identification example
• User Agent includes runtime version

1.8.1

• Changed some internal plumbing to reduce the chance of concurrency collisions if the concurrency count is updated during a run

1.8.0

• New Topics endpoint
• New Topics example
• Client property changed to read-only. The http client is set during class instantiation, either externally or internally. The Client property is available to allow the use of the existing instance in other instances.
• Concurrency property changed to read-only. Since concurrency requires a reset of the http client, and the internal client self-adjusts to the maximum allowable concurrency as set by the Rosette API plan, there is no need to change it during a run.
• URLString property changed to read-only. The url string is the base url, e.g. https://api.rosette.com, and should not be changed during the lifetime of the http client. If a different url string is desired, instantiate a new class.

1.7.3

• Removed dependency on System.Web.Script.Serialization in order to offer compatibility with .Net Core
• Added methods for setting, getting and clearing Url Parameters to be used for Uri query string

1.7.2

• Fixed a nuspec problem that was causing issues with Nuget install/upgrade

1.7.0

• new NameDeduplication endpoint
• new Transliteration endpoint
• new examples for each
• confidence for entities and sentiment

1.4.1

• SyntaxDependenciesResponse restructured: The new format is List Sentences and List Tokens. This new format was introduced because the old format of List Dependencies and List Tokens did not account for input with more than one sentence.

1.4.0

• Strongly type response objects for each endpoint have been added to reduce the impact of changes from the server
• RosetteResponse deprecated
• syntax dependencies endpoint added

1.3.1

• Bug fixed. One way of calling the new TextEmbedding endpoint returned a RelationshipResponse; this has been fixed to return a TextEmbeddingResponse.

1.3.0

• Content property of the RosetteResponse class deprecated and substituted by the strongly typed properties in the Response classes (e.g. MorphologyResponse) that inherit from RosetteResponse.

1.2.0

• Binding reflects unification of /entities and /entities/linked endpoints; /entities returns a new response model which includes QIDs by default
• EntitiesLinked object and resolveEntities parameter are not available anymore (use Entity instead)
• linkEntities option is available to turn off QIDs through EntitiesCAPI.SetOption("linkEntities", false);
• Max Concurrency can be obtained from the response header on any call

1.1.2

• Added api.SetOption(name, value), api.GetOption(name) and api.ClearOptions() to allow a user to set options directly. Setting an option to null removes it from the option dictionary.

1.1.0

• Nothing to write home about

1.0.0

• Optional ContentType argument in endpoint calls currently does nothing. The contentType parameter was removed, but the argument is being kept in the event of a change. RosetteFile does accept ContentType for defining the file contents, but the other methods use "application/json" as the Content-Type.
• Return type Dictionary<string, object> replaced with RosetteResponse, which provides properties for the Headers as IDictionary<string, string>, Content as IDictionary<string, object>, and ContentAsJSON as JSON.
• Morphology endpoint feature variable updated to be an enum instead of a string, so that Intellisense can aid in choosing the desired feature.
• Methods and classes deprecated: The /matched-name and /translated-name endpoints have been renamed to /name-similarity and /name-translation in the Rosette API, so the C# binding reflects those changes by adding new methods and classes reflecting those new endpoint names. Functions matchedName and translatedName and their corresponding classes have been deprecated.

Internal Changes

These changes should not require modifications to your bindings calls, but represent major internal changes, often correlating to Rosette API functional changes indicated here.

1.8.2 (Develop)

1.8.1

• Wrapped SetupClient in a lock in order to prevent collisions during concurrent runs
• Clean up of deprecated calls in unit test mocks

1.8.0

• TopicsResponse.cs, Concept.cs and KeyPhrase.cs created to support Topics
• Topics unit tests added
• Changed to read-only: Client, Concurrency, URLString
• Internal http client set to class level variable
• Runtime http client changes moved to the Property that causes the change
• Removed SetupClient() call from each endpoint process. SetupClient() is called on startup and if the Concurrency changes.

1.7.3

• Code cleanup per Analysis. Should be no outward facing changes.

1.7.0

• Unit tests added for name deduplication and transliteration
• minor code cleanup (removed unnecessary using)

1.4.1

• Fixed duplicate key bug that occurred when multiple relationships were returned in a RelationshipResponse.

1.3.0

• Strongly-typed, endpoint-specific classes that inherit from RosetteResponse added
• A new RosetteEntity class has constants for soft coding entity types returned by the RosetteAPI and, among other properties, an ID property of type EntityID. The EntityID class has a GetWikipediaURL() method that returns the link to Wikipedia if the ID is a QID and successfully gets a response from Wikipedia or null in any other case.
• Added TextEmbedding endpoint. The Text Embedding endpoint returns a single vector of floating point numbers for your input, known as a text embedding. Among other uses, a text embedding enables you to calculate the similarity between two documents or two words.

1.2.0

• Modified 429 retry timeout default to 5000ms
• Modified HttpClient Timeout default to null (let the server dictate the timeout)

1.1.0

• Retooled unit testing to provide better coverage
• Internal code changes per unit test and functional test discoveries
• Added a retry feature when encountering 429 (too many requests) errors. The user may specify the number of retries, default 5, and the number of milliseconds between retries, default 500000, to reduce the number of 429s.

1.0.0

• Changed file handling from base64 encoding to multipart
• Code was refactored into 1:1 class to file
• Unit tests revamped to use MockHttp and provide better coverage
