Several breaking changes were introduced with the v1.0.0 release:

v1is nowv1-experimental - Visual Recognition
v1is nowv1-beta
- Concept Expansion
- Speech to Text gained a new
createRecognizeStream()method replacing the existing live streaming methods with a simpler Read/Write stream. The older methods are still available in v1.0 but each log a deprecation warning (unless{silent: true}is passed in) and will be removed from a future release. The affected methods are:recognizeLive()observeResult()getRecognizeStatus()
- The Document Conversion API has been reduced to a single
convert()method; it no longer offers batch conversion or cloud storage of files. - Several deprecated services have been removed:
