What’s Modified
Python
All packages have been upgraded from Pydantic 1 to Pydantic 2 internally, totally supporting the usage of Pydantic 2 in person code with out the necessity for bridges like langchain_core.pydantic_v1 or pydantic.v1. Pydantic 1, which reached its end-of-life in June 2024, will not be supported. Moreover, Python 3.8 help can be discontinued as its end-of-life is scheduled for October 2024.
JavaScript
All LangChain packages now record @langchain/core as a peer dependency as an alternative of a direct dependency to keep away from sort errors associated to core model conflicts. Customers should explicitly set up @langchain/core somewhat than counting on an internally resolved model from different packages. Different modifications embrace making callbacks backgrounded and non-blocking by default, and the removing of deprecated doc loader and self-query entrypoints from langchain in favor of entrypoints in @langchain/neighborhood and integration packages. Deprecated Google PaLM entrypoints have additionally been eliminated in favor of entrypoints in @langchain/google-vertexai and @langchain/google-genai.

LangChain v0.3 introduces a number of new options and enhancements:
- Extra integrations have been moved from
langchain-communityto their very ownlangchain-{identify}packages, permitting higher dependency administration, testing, and versioning. The legacy implementations stay inlangchain-communityhowever are marked as deprecated. - Revamped integration docs and API references.
- Simplified software definition and utilization.
- New utilities for interacting with chat fashions, together with a common mannequin constructor, message trimming, filtering and merging utilities, and a fee limiter.
- Skill to dispatch customized occasions.
The way to Replace Your Code
To help customers in migrating to LangChain v0.3, detailed how-to guides for each Python and JavaScript can be found.
Documentation
LangChain documentation is versioned, and former variations will stay accessible at their respective URLs.
LangGraph
LangGraph is a library for constructing stateful, multi-actor functions with LLMs. As of LangChain v0.2, LangGraph is the really helpful strategy to construct brokers. It features a pre-built LangGraph object equal to the LangChain AgentExecutor, simplifying the usage of out-of-the-box agent options.
What’s Coming
The LangChain group is planning additional enhancements to LangChain’s multi-modal capabilities and continues to work on enhancing documentation and integration reliability.
