Released July 10, joining .NET and Python, with providers for Foundry, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, A2A, plus MCP support, human-in-the-loop approvals, checkpointed multi-agent workflows, and OpenTelemetry tracing (Microsoft Go Blog). For Go teams running services and cloud-native workers, this closes a real gap: production agent orchestration without dropping to Python. The same framework's python-1.11.0 also stabilized its Skills API and added Progressive MCP Disclosure for on-demand tool schema loading.
