About AutoGen
AutoGen has gone quiet — last release was September 2025, with no public update for nearly eight months.
AutoGen's most recent release is python-v0.7.5 on 2025-09-30. The last sustained activity came in a Q3 2025 cluster: v0.7.0 through v0.7.5, with v0.7.1 introducing nested Teams as group-chat participants, RedisMemory, latest MCP version, and OpenAIAgent built-in tools. v0.7.2 made DockerCommandLineCodeExecutor the default for MagenticOne and added an approval_func to CodeExecutorAgent. After that, the cadence stops cold — eight months of public silence as of May 2026.
