About Semantic Kernel
Semantic Kernel ships steady .NET/Python point releases while pointing users to its successor framework.
Microsoft's Semantic Kernel releases as parallel per-language package trains (.NET and Python), each a mix of dependency bumps, security hardening, and occasional real capability work. Recent notes add HTTP-redirect disabling and file-path validation hardening on .NET, OpenAPI parsing and server-URL validation changes, and Assistant-agent function-choice support on Python. Several release notes carry a documented callout naming the Microsoft Agent Framework as SK's successor.
