Release highlights

AI Agents 1.1.0 Changelog

Breaking Changes

  • Version Lineage Change: This stable release is based on 1.0.2 and does not include the experimental features that were introduced in the beta versions 1.1.0b1 through 1.1.0b5. This means that any beta-specific functionality you may have been using is not available in this stable release.
  • Migration Path: If you need to continue using the experimental features from the beta releases, please upgrade to 1.2.0b1 which continues the beta feature development line.

Bugs Fixed

  • _AgentsClientOperationsMixin is now private.

AI Agents 1.2.0b1 Changelog

Features Added

  • Support tool_resources for run async operations.

Breaking Changes

  • Version Lineage Change: This beta release continues the experimental feature development from 1.1.0b4, adding new functionality and improvements.
  • Important Version Context: The stable release 1.1.0 is based on 1.0.2 and does not include beta features. This 1.2.0b1 beta release preserves and extends all experimental features from the 1.1.0b1-1.1.0b4 beta series.

Bugs Fixed

  • AgentsResponseFormatOption, MessageInputContent, MessageAttachmentToolDefinition, AgentsToolChoiceOption are now public.
  • Fixed issues where the runs.create_and_process API call did not correctly handle the AzureAISearchTool, FileSearchTool, and CodeInterpreterTool when specified in the toolset parameter.
  • Fixed update_agent to execute with body as a keyword parameter.

AI Evaluation 1.10.0 Changelog

Breaking Changes

  • Added evaluate_query parameter to all RAI service evaluators that can be passed as a keyword argument. This parameter controls whether queries are included in evaluation data when evaluating query-response pairs. Previously, queries were always included in evaluations. When set to True, both query and response will be evaluated; when set to False (default), only the response will be evaluated. This parameter is available across all RAI service evaluators including ContentSafetyEvaluator, ViolenceEvaluator, SexualEvaluator, SelfHarmEvaluator, HateUnfairnessEvaluator, ProtectedMaterialEvaluator, IndirectAttackEvaluator, CodeVulnerabilityEvaluator, UngroundedAttributesEvaluator, GroundednessProEvaluator, and EciEvaluator. Existing code that relies on queries being evaluated will need to explicitly set evaluate_query=True to maintain the previous behavior.

Bugs Fixed

  • Fixed red team scan output_path issue where individual evaluation results were overwriting each other instead of being preserved as separate files. Individual evaluations now create unique files while the user’s output_path is reserved for final aggregated results.
  • Significant improvements to TaskAdherence evaluator. New version has less variance, is much faster and consumes fewer tokens.
  • Significant improvements to Relevance evaluator. New version has more concrete rubrics and has less variance, is much faster and consumes fewer tokens.

Features Added

  • Added support for Azure OpenAI Python grader via AzureOpenAIPythonGrader class, which serves as a wrapper around Azure Open AI Python grader configurations. This new grader object can be supplied to the main evaluate method as if it were a normal callable evaluator.
  • Added attack_success_thresholds parameter to RedTeam class for configuring custom thresholds that determine attack success. This allows users to set specific threshold values for each risk category, with scores greater than the threshold considered successful attacks (i.e. higher threshold means higher tolerance for harmful responses).
  • Enhanced threshold reporting in RedTeam results to include default threshold values when custom thresholds aren’t specified, providing better transparency about the evaluation criteria used.

AI Projects 1.0.0 Changelog

Breaking changes

  • Features that are still in preview were removed from this stable release. This includes:
  • Evaluation operations (property .evaluations)
  • Red-Team operations (property .red_teams)
  • Class PromptTemplate.
  • Package function enable_telemetry()
  • Classes were renamed:
  • Class Sku was renamed ModelDeploymentSku
  • Class SasCredential was renamed BlobReferenceSasCredential
  • Class AssetCredentialResponse was renamed DatasetCredential
  • Method .inference.get_azure_openai_client() was renamed .get_openai_client(). The .inference property was removed. The method is documented as returning an object of type OpenAI, but it still returns an object of the derived type AzureOpenAI. The function implementation has not changed.
  • Method .telemetry.get_connection_string() was renamed .telemetry.get_application_insights_connection_string()

AI Projects 1.1.0b1 Changelog

Features added

  • Added methods cancel and delete to Evaluations.

AI Projects 1.1.0b2 Changelog

Bugs Fixed

Fix regression in Red-Team operations, in the definition of the class AzureOpenAIModelConfiguration.

  • Added support for JSON comments in the load method, when a configuration setting has the json content type.

Identity Broker 1.3.0 Changelog

Features Added

  • Allow silent authentication attempts on all platforms. Previously, use_default_broker_account=True in InteractiveBrowserBrokerCredential only applied to Windows/WSL. (#42375)

Monitor Query 2.0.0 Changelog

Bugs Fixed

  • Fixed an issue where the package version in operation user agent strings was always set to “unknown” instead of the actual package version. (#39866)

Breaking Changes

  • MetricsClient and MetricsQueryClient have been removed from the azure-monitor-query package. This is part of the migration to split logs and metrics functionality into separate packages. (#42205)
  • The MetricsClient has been moved to the new azure-monitor-querymetrics package.
  • Functionality provided by MetricsQueryClient can be access through the azure-mgmt-monitor package.
  • For more details, see the migration guide.

Monitor Query Metrics 1.0.0 Changelog

Features Added

  • Initial release of azure-monitor-querymetrics package with core Azure Monitor metrics querying functionality.
  • Includes the MetricsClient for querying metrics from Azure Monitor resources.

Migration from azure-monitor-query

This package extracts the metrics functionality from the azure-monitor-query package to provide a focused solution for metrics querying.

For existing users of MetricsClient:

  • Migration is straightforward - only import paths need to be updated.
  • The API surface remains unchanged.
  • Before: from azure.monitor.query import MetricsClient
  • After: from azure.monitor.querymetrics import MetricsClient

For users of MetricsQueryClient:

  • This functionality is not included in this package.
  • Recommended alternative: Use MonitorManagementClient from the azure-mgmt-monitor package.
  • The management client provides comprehensive Azure Monitor resource management capabilities.

For more details, see the migration guide.
