v4.7.0

Welcome to the 4.7.0 release of the Bot Framework SDK for Python!

Bot Framework SDK for Python (GA)
We are happy to announce the Bot Framework Python SDK is generally available and no longer a preview release.

Bot Framework SDK for Microsoft Teams (GA)
The Bot Framework SDK v4.7.0 release fully integrates support for building Teams bots allowing users to use them in channel or group chat conversations. By adding a bot to a team or chat, all users of the conversation can take advantage of the bot functionality right in the conversation.
