Agent Framework 1.0.0

This release migrates Module 5 from this workshop from Semantic Kernel to Microsoft Agent Framework, modernizing the AI orchestration implementation. The changes include updating infrastructure deployment, refactoring .NET code to use the new Agent Framework APIs and updating all documentation to reflect the new framework.

Key Changes:

• Migrated from Semantic Kernel to Microsoft Agent Framework across all lesson code in Module 5
• Updated Azure infrastructure to use AI Foundry instead of separate Cognitive Services resources
• Refactored all workshop lessons (1-5) with new Agent Framework patterns
• Updated package dependencies from Semantic Kernel to Agent Framework libraries

Semantic Kernel release 1.0

Version of the workshop that uses Semantic Kernel (prior to Agent Framework refactoring). This version was used at the AI Tour in DC in May 2025.

Semantic Kernel Agent with Bing Search

This release uses Semantic Kernel Agent with Bing Search in the Semantic Kernel workshop. We are moving away from that and instead using Azure AI Agent with Grounding with Bing because there is a restriction for creating Bing Search resources.
