### 🚀 Notable Features and Improvements
* [ADK Support](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo-Agent-Toolkit/blob/release/1.3/docs/source/reference/frameworks-overview.md): Supports Google Agent Development Kit (ADK). Adds tool calling, core observability, and LLM integration in this release.
* [Control-Flow Agents](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo-Agent-Toolkit/blob/release/1.3/docs/source/workflows/about/index.md): [Sequential Executor](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo-Agent-Toolkit/blob/release/1.3/docs/source/workflows/about/sequential-executor.md) (Linear Agent) and [Router Agent](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo-Agent-Toolkit/blob/release/1.3/docs/source/workflows/about/router-agent.md) now control flow patterns of tool calls and sub-agents.
* [Function Groups](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo-Agent-Toolkit/blob/release/1.3/docs/source/workflows/function-groups.md): Packages multiple related functions together so they share configuration, context, and resources.
* [Hyperparameter Agent Optimizer](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo-Agent-Toolkit/blob/release/1.3/docs/source/reference/optimizer.md): Automates hyperparameter tuning and prompt engineering for workflows.
* [Introductory Notebook Improvements](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo-Agent-Toolkit/blob/release/1.3/examples/notebooks/README.md): Reorganizes getting started notebooks and adds Open in Colab links.
