Beta release featuring the YAML-driven agent system, multi-scenario orchestration, and Azure VoiceLive SDK integration. This release represents a complete architectural evolution from v1.x.

Added

  • Unified Agent Framework — YAML-driven agent definitions (agent.yaml) with Jinja2 prompt templating and hot-reload
  • Scenario Orchestration — Multi-agent scenarios with orchestration.yaml defining agent graphs, handoffs, and routing
  • Azure VoiceLive SDK — Native integration with gpt-4o-realtime for ~200ms voice-to-voice latency
  • Industry Scenarios — Banking (concierge, fraud, investment) and Insurance (FNOL, policy advisor, auth) ready-to-use
  • 15+ Business Tools — Authentication, fraud detection, knowledge search, account lookup, card recommendations
  • Streaming Mode Selector — Frontend toggle between SpeechCascade and VoiceLive orchestrators
  • Profile Details Panel — Real-time caller context display with tool execution visualization
  • Demo Scenarios Widget — One-click scenario switching for demos and testing

Enhanced

  • Package Management — Migrated to uv for 10x faster installs with reproducible uv.lock
  • OpenTelemetry — Full distributed tracing across LLM, Speech, and ACS with latency metrics
  • Phrase Biasing — Dynamic per-agent phrase lists for improved domain-specific recognition
  • Agent Handoffs — Seamless context preservation during multi-agent transfers
  • Devcontainer — ARM64/x86 multi-arch support with optimized startup

Fixed

  • VoiceLive "already has active response" conflicts during rapid handoffs
  • LLM streaming timeouts (now 90s overall, 5s per-chunk with graceful cancellation)
  • Tool call index validation filtering malformed responses
  • Docker build optimization removing unnecessary apt upgrades
