Notable Changes

We are excited to announce the release of Semantic Kernel version 1.0.0rc1! This release includes several new features and improvements to enhance the development experience.

Filters

We have introduced a powerful new feature: filters. These filters enable developers to hook into pre- and post-function hooks, providing greater control and flexibility over the function execution process.

  • Pre-function Hooks: Allow you to define actions or checks that must be performed before a function executes.
  • Post-function Hooks: Enable actions or processes that should occur after the function has executed.
    With these filters, you can now easily add logging, validation, authentication, and other custom behaviors around your function calls, making your development process more efficient and modular.
  • You can find concept examples here.

Notable Changes

  • New Interaction with Secrets and Keys via Pydantic Settings:
    • We've introduced a new method to handle secrets, keys, and other configurations using Pydantic Settings.
    • Pydantic Settings can now read environment variables or fall back to a provided .env file path.
    • If you prefer to manage keys manually, you can still supply the key, deployment_name, endpoint, or api_version as optional parameters to the Text, Chat, or Embedding classes.
  • Enhanced OpenAPI Plugin Usage:
    • We've improved the usage of OpenAPI plugins by correctly forming the parameters specific to each OpenAPI operation.
    • This enhancement ensures that the model will send the required operation parameters during automatic function calling.

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.
