python-1.2.2
Agent Framework releases 1.2.2 with new Azure AI Content Understanding support, hosted Durable Workflow enhancements, and a breaking orchestration output standardization. It also preserves shared workflow state, improves streaming observability, and fixes OpenAI file search history issues.
[1.2.2] - 2026-04-29
Added
- agent-framework-azure-contentunderstanding: New alpha package — Azure AI Content Understanding context provider that auto-analyzes file attachments (documents, images, audio, video) and injects structured results into the LLM context, with multi-document session state, configurable timeout, output filtering via AnalysisSection, and auto-registered list_documents / get_analyzed_document tools (#4829)
- agent-framework-foundry-hosting: Add hosted Durable Workflow support — propagate full conversation history to workflow agents and wire Workflow.as_agent() end-to-end via the foundry hosting layer (#5531)
Changed
- agent-framework-orchestrations: [BREAKING] Standardize orchestration terminal outputs as AgentResponse so Workflow.as_agent() returns the final answer only; aligns sequential-approval (with_request_info) and concurrent (intermediate_outputs=True) flows on the same output contract (#5301)
- agent-framework-core, agent-framework-declarative: Preserve Workflow.run() shared state across calls so multi-turn WorkflowAgent invocations retain context, accept list[Message] input in the declarative start executor, and coerce Enum values when serializing PowerFx symbols (#5531)
- dependencies: Update workspace package dependencies and preserve mcp[ws] / uvicorn[standard] extras through override-dependencies in /python (#5555)
Fixed
- agent-framework-core: Fix observability spans not being correctly nested when using streaming (#5552)
- agent-framework-openai: Fix file_search citations breaking the assistant-message history roundtrip — skip hosted_file content in the assistant role so the Responses API no longer rejects input_file (#5557)
