Full Release Notes

# Changelog

## **New Features**

- **AdvisorTools**: Added `AdvisorTools` for asking advisor models for feedback.
- **OpenRouteService Toolkit**: Added `OpenRouteService` toolkit for accurate routing.
- **StudioTools**: Added component-aware schedule tools and history parameters.
- **FileSystemTools**: Allow overriding the `FileSystemTools` toolkit name.

## **Bug Fixes**

- **Persisted Components**: Fixed toolkit-qualified tool rehydration for persisted components.
- **Cohere:** Stop dropping zero-valued sampling params (temperature, top_k, seed, frequency_penalty, presence_penalty now respect an explicit 0).
- **HITL**: Propagate top-level confirmation to `tool_execution` on requirement deserialization.
- **Team.load**: Fixed crash on SQLite with unexpected keyword argument `label`.
- **Audio Tools**: More robust audio tool-result handling (and switched the Smallest AI cookbook to Gemini).
- **Dependencies**: Exclude `nltk 3.10.1`, which breaks the `unstructured` import chain.
