Welcome to the October 2022 release of the Bot Framework Python SDK. This is a maintenance release to address security issues and notify of Python SDK retirement.
The Bot Framework Python SDK is being retired with final long-term support ending in November 2023, after which this repository will be archived. There will be no further feature development, with only critical security and bug fixes within this repository being undertaken. Existing bots built with this SDK will continue to function. For all new bot development we recommend that you adopt Power Virtual Agents or use the Bot Framework C# or Bot Framework JavaScript SDKs.
For more information about the recommended approach to, and future of, bot building, please see https://powervirtualagents.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/the-future-of-bot-building/
