Highlights

Two major upgrades of conversation programming (experimental features under active development):

• Finite state machine (FSM) based group chat: allow more fine-grained control of speaker order transition in group chat.
• Multiple sequential chats: program a sequence of chats and carry previous chat results to new chats.

AutoGen Studio updates:

• Workflow export.
• Skill editing.
• CSV support.
• Windows testing.

Other improvements:

• Allow timeout for code execution in windows.
• Make every agent receive the termination message in group chat.
• Improvement in documentation.
• Fix an import issue.
