Evan Mattson 0b69d7fd15 Python: Bump Python package versions for 1.2.0 release (#5468)
* Bump Python package versions for 1.2.0 release

Released tier bumps 1.1.1 -> 1.2.0 (core, openai, foundry, root) to
reflect additive public APIs landed since 1.1.0: functional workflow API
(#4238) and FunctionTool SKIP_PARSING sentinel (#5424). All beta packages
stamped 1.0.0b260424, alpha packages 1.0.0a260424. All 26 non-core
agent-framework-core floors raised to >=1.2.0,<2. CHANGELOG consolidates
the never-tagged 1.1.1 entries with the post-merge additions into [1.2.0].

* Update CHANGELOG footer links for 1.2.0

Advance [Unreleased] comparison base from python-1.1.0 to python-1.2.0
and add a [1.2.0] reference link comparing python-1.1.0...python-1.2.0
so the heading links resolve correctly.

* Fix CHANGELOG: restore [1.1.1] section and add proper [1.2.0]

Previous commit incorrectly renamed the [1.1.1] header to [1.2.0], which
wiped the historical 1.1.1 entries and wrongly attributed them to 1.2.0.
This restores [1.1.1] to its origin/main content and adds a new [1.2.0]
section above containing only the commits in python-1.1.1..HEAD:

- #4238 functional workflow API
- #5142 GitHub Copilot OpenTelemetry
- #2403 A2A bridge support
- #5070 oauth_consent_request events in Foundry clients
- #5447 FoundryAgent hosted agent sessions
- #5459 hosting server dependency upgrade + types
- #5389 AG-UI reasoning/multimodal parsing fix
- #5440 stop [TOOLBOXES] warning spam
- #5455 user agent prefix fix

Also corrects the [1.2.0] compare base to python-1.1.1 (not 1.1.0) and
adds the missing [1.1.1] reference link.

Get Started with Microsoft Agent Framework Gemini

Install the provider package:

pip install agent-framework-gemini --pre

Gemini Integration

The Gemini integration enables Microsoft Agent Framework applications to call Google Gemini models with familiar chat abstractions, including streaming, tool/function calling, and structured output.

Authentication

The connector supports both google-genai authentication modes.

Gemini Developer API

Obtain an API key from Google AI Studio and set either the package-prefixed or SDK-standard environment variable:

export GEMINI_API_KEY="your-api-key"
# or: export GOOGLE_API_KEY="your-api-key"
export GEMINI_MODEL="gemini-2.5-flash-lite"
# or: export GOOGLE_MODEL="gemini-2.5-flash-lite"

Vertex AI

Set the standard Vertex AI environment variables used by google-genai:

export GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_VERTEXAI=true
export GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT="your-project-id"
export GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION="global"
export GOOGLE_MODEL="gemini-2.5-flash-lite"

Examples

See the Google Gemini samples for runnable end-to-end scripts covering:

  • Basic agent with tool calling and streaming
  • Extended thinking with ThinkingConfig
  • Google Search grounding
  • Google Maps grounding
  • Built-in code execution
