**Image Classification General Availability (GA) release**
Some notes about the GA release:
* Cloud AutoML Vision and AutoML Vision Edge are now in General Availability (GA). The [Service Level Agreement](https://cloud.google.com/vision/sla) has been published.
* We've introduced a new version (v1) of the [Cloud AutoML API](https://cloud.google.com/vision/automl/docs/reference/rest/). The current version (v1beta1) is deprecated and is scheduled for deletion within **six months**. As a result, you will need to migrate your applications from the v1beta1 version to the v1 version. If you have integrated with the Create Dataset API, you will also need to change your code to reflect changes with v1 version integration.
* [Creating dataset](https://cloud.google.com/automl/docs/reference/rest/v1/projects.locations.datasets/create) will now return an Operation, whose status must be requested to detect completion.
* Both [dataset](https://cloud.google.com/automl/docs/reference/rest/v1/projects.locations.datasets) and [model](https://cloud.google.com/automl/docs/reference/rest/v1/projects.locations.models) can be updated using patch, with a field mask that can include labels and displayName for both, and description only for dataset.
* In [ModelEvaluation](https://cloud.google.com/automl/docs/reference/rest/v1/projects.locations.models.modelEvaluations#resource-modelevaluation), baseAuPrc has been deprecated. This is the Area Under Precision-Recall Curve metric _based on priors_.
* Specifying an [Image](https://cloud.google.com/automl/docs/reference/rest/v1/projects.locations.models/predict#image) is the only option for ExamplePayload of online prediction. The inputConfig option was not supported and has been deleted.
* The maximum supported lifespan for custom models created in Cloud AutoML Vision and AutoML Vision Edge has changed from two years to 18 months.
* The new pricing for Image Classification is effective November 21, 2019 at 12 AM Pacific Time. For further information, including pricing examples, please refer to our [pricing page](https://cloud.google.com/vision/automl/pricing).
* Image Classification models trained prior to the [Beta Refresh release](https://cloud.google.com/vision/automl/docs/release-notes#October%5F09%5F2019) of October 9, 2019, will serve online predictions under the old pricing structure until you redeploy. Online predictions from these models will stop on February 21, 2020, [unless you redeploy](https://cloud.google.com/vision/automl/docs/deploy).
