1.2.41 Nuget release

[MattB-msft]

POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE FOR SOME DEVELOPERS:

Update ChannelID to support the fully qualified channel when working with Channels that include subChannels.

• This update converts ChanneID to a class that contains the primary channel id and the subchannel id when sent.
  • The updated channel id will be formatted as : <channelid>:<subschannelid> see spec change request: Introduce ProductInfo Node to entities to identify the internal channel / product of a channelID Agents#77
  • An example of this is M365 Copilot. Which will appear as msteams:copilot
• Existing code using string compare will continue to function, however the comparisons will need to be updated if you want to apply the same or differing treatment to the subchannel
  • If your are using code such as this:

if (turnContext.Activity.ChannelId.Equals(Channels.Msteams))
{
  /// do work for teams 
}

you will need to update it as such:

if (turnContext.Activity.ChannelId.Equals(Channels.Msteams))
{
    // do stuff only for Teams channel
}

if (turnContext.Activity.ChannelId.IsParentChannel(Channels.Msteams))
{
    // do stuff for Teams channel and all sub-channels of teams
}

if (turnContext.Activity.ChannelId.Equals(Channels.M365Copilot))
{
    // do stuff for M365 Copilot channel which will appear as "msteams:copilot"
}
