@sadasant The phrasing of "changes on" sounds strange to me, and I think we should replace it with "in" in the section headers. ("changes on @azure/[email protected]" -> "changes in @azure/[email protected]"). I'll fill out my notes according to the template here, but this is just some extra feedback.

@witemple-msft @chradek @ljian3377 Thank you! I have pushed an update here: ce3ac4b Please review again!

The updates for synapse are very small. I coordinated this with Jonathan!

Do we need the changelog link at this level? Wouldnt the changelog link a few lines above suffice?

We generally point to the exact version in the changelog above. In this case we have two, so I thought on separating them.

+- Fixed Azure Stack support for the NodeJS version of the `InteractiveBrowserCredential`.
+- The 'keytar' dependency has been updated to the latest version.


A dependency update is not a release highlight unless it solved a major problem for the customer. I recall the user did have some trouble which required us to do this update. Mentioning that here would help

This is the original issue: Azure/azure-sdk-for-js#13531

That issue is still open and the real solution is not trivial. This update helps but it's very minor. I'll remove the highlight entry.

+- Fixed Azure Stack support for the NodeJS version of the `InteractiveBrowserCredential`.


Can we talk about what the problem before was? If I am an Azure Stack user, I wouldnt know whether this line would apply to me or not

Thoughts on this?

Fixed a bug that appeared while using InteractiveBrowserCredential to authenticate against Azure Stack from NodeJS (for local apps that would ask for authentication using a browser window). Azure Stack has specific authentication requirements that were missed on our previous InteractiveBrowserCredential release.

+
+- Backup and restore operations will now return a `BackupResult` and `RestoreResult` as appropriate.


What was it returning before? Does the user have to change their code? If this is not a breaking change or highly impacting, perhaps we can skip mentioning it?

The points under Major Fixes on @azure/[email protected] do not seem to be developer impacting changes either. They do not need to react to these changes. I would recommend removing both the Major Fixes and this current section here and have say just this line

The beta releases has bug fixes to improve quality and support for custom role definitions.

See What is a developer impacting change?

cc @maorleger

It's a breaking change, but from one beta to another, since this client hasn't been GAd.

BackupResult and RestoreResult from backup/restore long running operations now contain additional information about the operation, we can say that 🤔

@ramya-rao-a

Regarding the missing highlights:

Synapse (& Monitor) was left out because the update didn't seem relevant enough for a highlight when Jonathan and I reviewed the changes.
Communications: I have contacted Dominik. to see if they can provide some highlights (Edit: highlights are already in this PR).
Digital twins: I have contacted Zoltan.
Quantum: I have contacted Victor. (Edit: No highlights needed).
Attestation: I have contacted Larry.

ramya-rao-a

Please follow up with the missing highlights in a separate PR. We can merge this for now
