Notable Changes

  • In our ongoing effort to achieve parity with dotnet, we have phased out the Basic, Action, and Stepwise planners. This update leaves the Sequential and Function Calling Stepwise planners as the available options.
  • We’ve made strides in aligning the Python tool call behavior with that of dotnet. You can now adjust the tool call behavior directly in the prompt execution settings, eliminating the need to specify tool_choice = "auto", tools = get_tool_call_object(...), and so on. For more details, refer to the FunctionCallBehavior implementation. There are several methods to adjust the tool call behavior, such as:
filter = {"excluded_plugins": ["ChatBot"]}
req_settings.function_call_behavior = FunctionCallBehavior.EnableFunctions(auto_invoke=True, filters=filter)

or

req_settings.function_call_behavior = FunctionCallBehavior.AutoInvokeKernelFunctions()

Our Auto Function Calling concept samples implement this new behavior.

Notable Changes

  • Python Version Support Update: Dropping Support for Python 3.8 and 3.9
    • Python 3.8 will reach its end-of-life in October 2024. As a result, we will no longer support Python 3.8 and 3.9.
      • Reasoning: Python 3.10 introduces a new typing system crucial for KernelFunctionFromMethod. Maintaining backward compatibility with older versions adds significant complexity and limits our ability to innovate. Thus, support for Python 3.9 will also be discontinued.
  • Enhanced Function Calling Support for ChatMessages. You may view this ADR for more information.
    • New Content Types:
      • FunctionCallContent
      • FunctionResultContent
    • Chat Role Changes:
      • ChatRole has been renamed to AuthorRole.
    • Content Adaptation:
      • ChatMessageContent now supports one or more content types, such as TextContent and the new function calling content types.
    • OpenAI Classes Changes:
      • Removed OpenAIChatMessageContent and AzureChatMessageContent.
      • Enhanced the OpenAI classes to create and parse FunctionCallContent and other new content types.
  • Improved Sample Organization: Reorganized Sample Folders:
    • Moved all notebooks to samples/getting_started.
    • Reorganized previous kernel syntax examples by topic in samples/concepts.
    • New Prompt Template Samples Folder:
      • Renamed the previous root-level prompt template samples in samples/plugins to a root-level folder called prompt_template_samples.

Notable Changes

  • We've redesigned how plugins and functions integrate with the kernel to simplify their addition and minimize confusion. Now, use kernel.add_plugin() or kernel.add_plugins() to add plugins and kernel.add_function() or kernel.add_functions for functions. You can add an OpenAPI plugin via kernel.add_plugin_from_openapi() and an OpenAI plugin via kernel.add_plugin_from_openai(). You can add a plugin in three ways:
    • Directly as a KernelPlugin instance—other parameters will be ignored.
    • As a custom class with methods decorated by kernel_function.
    • As a dictionary where one or more methods are decorated with kernel_function.
    • See the add_plugin and add_function kernel code for implementation details.
  • To enhance load performance, only the Kernel is loaded in the root init, with all other components moved to sub-packages. SK imports use full paths for clarity and modularity. Init files are generally positioned at the root+1 level (e.g., semantic_kernel.functions) to provide developers with necessary components, except in the connectors and utils directories where deeper navigation is required. For instance, OpenAI and Azure OpenAI specific functionalities are accessed via from semantic_kernel.connectors.ai.open_ai import .... In contrast, sample code employs abbreviated paths to streamline the import process.
