Highlights

• Nested chats are made easier by register_nested_chats. Nested chats allow AutoGen agents to use other agents as their inner monologue before replying to other agents. Example of using nested chat to compose a super-agent based on multi-agent conversation.
• Blog for FSM-based group chat with user-specified agent transitions.
• Docker-based jupyter executor.
• Support removing function calls in ConversableAgent.
• Improvement in hook methods.
• Bug fix for DALLE agent.
• Improvement in doc & test.
