> Microsoft released Semantic Kernel dotnet-1.82.0 on November 7, 2026. The release notes list ".Net: [BREAKING] Consolidate file access (#14679)", remove the migrated .NET Milvus connector (#14682) and Chroma connector (#14579), and add validated HTTP address binding (#14719) plus hardened structured-data mutation (#14718).

## What changed

- BREAKING: the changelog lists ".Net: [BREAKING] Consolidate file access (#14679)" as a labelled breaking change for .NET file access paths.
- Connectors removed: ".Net: Remove migrated .NET Milvus connector (#14682)" and ".Net: Remove migrated .NET Chroma connector (#14579)" drop those migrated connectors from the .NET package.
- HTTP hardening: ".Net: Bind validated HTTP addresses to connections (#14719)" tightens how HTTP addresses are bound on connections.
- Structured data: ".Net: Harden structured data mutation boundaries (#14718)" strengthens mutation boundaries for structured data.
- Package cut: ".Net: Bump package version to 1.82.0 (#14721)" ships the .NET 1.82.0 package; Python items in the same notes are out of scope for this brief.
