 ## [2.0.0](https://github.com/googleapis/python-aiplatform/compare/v1.165.1...v2.0.0) (2026-08-27)
 
 
+### ⚠ BREAKING CHANGES
+
+* **agentplatform:** `agent_engines` module renamed to `runtimes`.
+* **agentplatform:** `a2a tasks` module is removed.
+* **agentplatform:** `sessions` and `sandboxes` moved to top-level modules.
+* **agentplatform:** Removed global initializer dependency. Agent frameworks now read project and location from environment variables.
