Giles Odigwe 7a2b8038cc [BREAKING] Python: Bump package versions for 1.15.0 release (#7812)
* Bump Python package versions for 1.15.0 release

Prepare the CHANGELOG-selected Python packages for the 1.15.0 release. Root and core move to 1.15.0; changed stable extensions receive package-specific minor or patch bumps; changed beta packages receive the 260821 stamp; no beta cohort bump is applied. Core dependency floors use the conservative policy for co-released packages. Release validation also adds the six dependency required by the supported Azure Cosmos SDK floor and retains cross-platform-compatible development-tool pins.

* Remove hook-only formatting changes

Keep the Python 1.15.0 release commit scoped to package metadata, release notes, dependency floors, and the lockfile.

* Minimize release lockfile changes

Restore the upstream PyPI-backed lockfile and retain only package versions and dependency metadata changed by the Python 1.15.0 release. Also preserve the development-tool upgrades already present on main.

* Retain OpenAI core compatibility floor

Keep agent-framework-openai 1.13.1 compatible with core 1.13 because its streaming tool-call index fix uses the existing additional_properties API and does not require core 1.15.

* Raise OpenAI version and core floor

Bump agent-framework-openai to 1.14.0 and require core 1.15.0 so the new dependency requirement is signaled as a minor release.

Get Started with Microsoft Agent Framework Declarative

Please install this package via pip:

pip install agent-framework-declarative

Release stage

This package ships at two different stability levels:

  • Declarative workflows (WorkflowFactory, executors, handlers, and the _workflows surface) are stable.
  • Declarative agents (AgentFactory and the YAML agent loading/parsing path: DeclarativeLoaderError, ProviderLookupError, ProviderTypeMapping) are experimental and may change or be removed in future versions without notice. Using any of these symbols emits an ExperimentalWarning on first use.

Declarative features

The declarative packages provides support for building agents based on a declarative yaml specification.
