The Azure AI Search team recently announced improvements to the agentic retrieval API. We've upgraded the repo to use the latest API, which brings the benefit that the retrieved data now includes all the searchable fields, improving the compatibility of the agentic retrieval feature with other repo features (multimodal, ACLs). Our repo does not currently use the multi-index query planning or answer synthesis, but you may consider those in your forks.
This release also includes a bug fix for user login on Container Apps and fixes for the recent multimodal feature.
