Summary

This release introduces full serialization support for AgentChat configurations and states, enabling persistent and portable agent sessions. It also adds a new Azure AI inference client for broader model support and a rich UI for the Magentic One CLI.

Migration Steps

  1. To persist agent sessions, use group_chat.dump_component() to save configuration and group_chat.save_state() to save the current execution state.
  2. To restore sessions, use Team.load_component(config) followed by await group_chat.load_state(state).
  3. For Azure/GitHub models, switch to AzureAIChatCompletionClient and provide the appropriate endpoint and AzureKeyCredential.

✨ New Features

  • Introduced declarative serializable configuration for AgentChat, allowing agents and teams to be converted to/from JSON.
  • Added support for serializing and deserializing the state of agents and teams via save_state and load_state.
  • Added AzureAIChatCompletionClient to support Azure and GitHub-hosted models like Phi-4, Mistral, and Cohere.
  • Introduced RichConsole UI for Magentic One (m1) CLI for pretty-printed output using the --rich flag.
  • Implemented a default in-memory store for ChatCompletionCache.
  • Added description support in dump_component for improved component configuration.
