python-1.0.0rc1

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.
