New Features
- Added support for the VectorCollection (Beta) data structure which enables similarity (nearest-neighbor) search over vector embeddings. You can find an example here.
Breaking Changes
- We have ended support for .NET 6, following Microsoft’s official end of support on November 12, 2024.
- If you run the netstandard2.0 target on .NET 10, you may encounter conflicts with the transient Microsoft.Bcl.Memory dependency. Override it in your project or upgrade to netstandard2.1 or later. For more information see #1007
