Whoops, sorry we broke you

We made a breaking change between versions 0.6.0 and 0.6.1 of the Windows Azure command-line tool for Mac and Linux. You can get the tool from http://windowsazure.com or via the azure package on npm. The tool lets you create and manage Azure websites and Virtual Machines from any platform.

If you imported your publish settings file using version 0.6.0 and then updated the tool, you might be greeted by the following message:

PS C:\Users\yavorg> azure site list
info:    Executing command site list
+ Enumerating locations
error:   Host is not reachable. This may be due to lost internet connectivity. Please check your connection.
info:    Error information has been recorded to azure_error

This is because we made a change to the way we internally store your publish settings information, and the old format doesn’t work with the updated tool. Fortunately here is an easy fix: just clear your old publish settings and import them again:

PS C:\Users\yavorg> azure account clear
PS C:\Users\yavorg> azure account import '.\node.publishsettings'

Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience!
