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.

agent-framework-openai

OpenAI integration for Microsoft Agent Framework.

This package provides:

OpenAIChatClient for the OpenAI Responses API
OpenAIChatCompletionClient for the Chat Completions API
OpenAIEmbeddingClient for embeddings

Installation

pip install agent-framework-openai

Which chat client should I use?

Use OpenAIChatClient for new work unless you specifically need the Chat Completions API.

OpenAIChatClient uses the Responses API and is the preferred general-purpose chat client.
OpenAIChatCompletionClient uses the Chat Completions API and is mainly for compatibility with existing Chat Completions-based integrations.

The previous deprecated Responses alias has been removed. Use OpenAIChatClient directly.

Environment variables

OpenAI

These variables are used when the client is configured for OpenAI:

Variable	Purpose
`OPENAI_API_KEY`	OpenAI API key
`OPENAI_ORG_ID`	OpenAI organization ID
`OPENAI_BASE_URL`	Custom OpenAI-compatible base URL
`OPENAI_MODEL`	Generic fallback model
`OPENAI_CHAT_MODEL`	Preferred model for `OpenAIChatClient`
`OPENAI_CHAT_COMPLETION_MODEL`	Preferred model for `OpenAIChatCompletionClient`
`OPENAI_EMBEDDING_MODEL`	Preferred model for `OpenAIEmbeddingClient`

Model lookup order:

OpenAIChatClient: OPENAI_CHAT_MODEL -> OPENAI_MODEL
OpenAIChatCompletionClient: OPENAI_CHAT_COMPLETION_MODEL -> OPENAI_MODEL
OpenAIEmbeddingClient: OPENAI_EMBEDDING_MODEL -> OPENAI_MODEL

These model variables are only consulted when you do not pass model= directly. In other words, OpenAIChatClient(model="...") ignores OPENAI_CHAT_MODEL, and OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="...") ignores OPENAI_CHAT_COMPLETION_MODEL.

Azure OpenAI

These variables are used when the client is configured for Azure OpenAI:

Variable	Purpose
`AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT`	Azure OpenAI resource endpoint
`AZURE_OPENAI_BASE_URL`	Full Azure OpenAI base URL (`.../openai/v1`)
`AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY`	Azure OpenAI API key
`AZURE_OPENAI_API_VERSION`	Azure OpenAI API version
`AZURE_OPENAI_MODEL`	Generic fallback deployment
`AZURE_OPENAI_CHAT_MODEL`	Preferred deployment for `OpenAIChatClient`
`AZURE_OPENAI_CHAT_COMPLETION_MODEL`	Preferred deployment for `OpenAIChatCompletionClient`
`AZURE_OPENAI_EMBEDDING_MODEL`	Preferred deployment for `OpenAIEmbeddingClient`

Deployment lookup order:

OpenAIChatClient: AZURE_OPENAI_CHAT_MODEL -> AZURE_OPENAI_MODEL
OpenAIChatCompletionClient: AZURE_OPENAI_CHAT_COMPLETION_MODEL -> AZURE_OPENAI_MODEL
OpenAIEmbeddingClient: AZURE_OPENAI_EMBEDDING_MODEL -> AZURE_OPENAI_MODEL

For Azure routing, the same rule applies: the client-specific deployment variable is checked first, then the generic AZURE_OPENAI_MODEL fallback. Passing model= overrides both environment variables.

When both OpenAI and Azure environment variables are present, the generic clients prefer OpenAI when OPENAI_API_KEY is configured. To use Azure explicitly, pass azure_endpoint or credential.

OpenAI example

from agent_framework.openai import OpenAIChatClient

client = OpenAIChatClient(model="gpt-4.1")

Azure OpenAI example

from azure.identity.aio import AzureCliCredential

from agent_framework.openai import OpenAIChatClient

client = OpenAIChatClient(
    model="my-responses-deployment",
    azure_endpoint="https://my-resource.openai.azure.com",
    credential=AzureCliCredential(),
)

ChatClient vs ChatCompletionClient

Use OpenAIChatClient when you want the Responses API as your default chat surface.

Use OpenAIChatCompletionClient when you specifically need the Chat Completions API:

from agent_framework.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient

client = OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o-mini")
