v0.3.1

Overview

Enhances the agent communication system by adding support for multi-agent messaging, allowing an agent to send messages to multiple recipients simultaneously. It also includes several improvements to error handling and message formatting.

Key Changes

• Added support for sending messages to multiple agents at once via talk_to method
• Enhanced error handling for agent communication with better error messages
• Improved message formatting for both single and multi-agent conversations
• Added reminder in prompt template to close XML tags
• Fixed return type annotations for ask and talk_to methods
• Bumped version from 0.3.0 to 0.3.1

Implementation Details

• Modified Interaction class to store receivers as a list of agents
• Updated AgentInteractionManager to handle multiple receivers
• Added support for "all" keyword to broadcast messages to all agents
• Enhanced error messages for invalid agent IDs
• Improved string representation of interactions for better readability

Testing

• Added new test cases for multi-agent communication
• Updated existing tests to accommodate the new receiver list format
• Added tests for manual and automatic action execution

Breaking Changes

None. All changes are backward compatible as single-agent communication continues to work as before.

Migration Guide

Creating custom actions

# Old way
agent.add_new_action(
    {
        "format": "[ACTION][param]",
        "prompt": "Description",
        "example": "[ACTION][value]"
    },
    action_function
)

# New way
agent.add_action(
    Action(
        name="action",
        description="Description",
        parameters=["param"],
        function=action_function
    )
)

Calling custom actions

# Old way
action_function(agent, "param_value")

# New way
agent.execute_action("action", "param_value")
