python-v0.5.7

What's New

AzureAISearchTool Improvements

The Azure AI Search Tool API now features unified methods:

• create_full_text_search() (supporting "simple", "full", and "semantic" query types)
• create_vector_search() and
• create_hybrid_search()
  We also added support for client-side embeddings, while defaults to service embeddings when client embeddings aren't provided.

If you have been using create_keyword_search(), update your code to use create_full_text_search() with "simple" query type.

SelectorGroupChat Improvements

To support long context for the model-based selector in SelectorGroupChat, you can pass in a model context object through the new model_context parameter to customize the messages sent to the model client when selecting the next speaker.

• Add model_context to SelectorGroupChat for enhanced speaker selection by @Ethan0456 in #6330
