November 2021 (version 4.13.8)

This release introduces a global flag called "Templates.EnableFromFile" that indicates whether the Adaptive Expression fromFile function is allowed in LG templates. If an application had previously made use of this function, it is now required to add the line "Templates.EnableFromFile = true;" to the Startup.cs code.

Version 4.13.2

Includes the following bug fixes:

Version 4.13.1

Includes the following bug fixes:

  • Runtime: IBotTelemetryClient should be replaceable · Issue #5511
  • Runtime: IBot should be registered through TryAddSingleton · Issue #5493

April 2021 (version 4.13.0)

Welcome to the April 2021 release of the DotNet Bot Framework SDK. Orchestrator, a replacement for the Dispatch tool shipped in prior versions, is now generally available. BotComponent Registration has been improved with the introduction of BotComponent and automatic discovery of package components within a new Adaptive Runtime. New activity types Command and CommandResult are introduced in support of the Telephony channel and further protocol extensibility. See also Other improvements. Refer to the change log and General SDK release notes for more SDK related updates.

Orchestrator (GA)

Orchestrator recognizer has been released to General Availability! Since PREVIEW 3 release we have:

  • Improved performance.
  • Fully integrated with Composer via the packages subsystem
  • Integrated in user experience for skill routing
  • Promoted BF CLI Orchestrator from plugin to embedded command
  • Updated documentation & samples https://aka.ms/bf-orchestrator

Teams

  • Introduction of Single Sign On Middleware for Microsoft Teams
  • Teams Adaptive Component package includes triggers and actions for interacting with Microsoft Teams specific features

New Activity Types

  • Command activities communicate a request to perform a specific action. They are identified by a type value of command and specific values of the name field. specification
  • CommandResult activities communicate the result of a command activity. specification

BotComponent Registration

Adaptive Component registration has been updated to include BotComponent and auto-discovery with the new Adaptive Runtime

Instructions for upgrading from the deprecated method to BotComponent:

ComponentRegistration (deprecated method):

The deprecated method of component registration was accomplished through code in startup, and returning DeclarativeTypes from GetDeclarativeTypes of a custom ComponentRegistration implementation.

Code: AdaptiveComponentRegistration:

public class AdaptiveComponentRegistration : ComponentRegistration, IComponentDeclarativeTypes
{
     ...
        public virtual IEnumerable<DeclarativeType> GetDeclarativeTypes(ResourceExplorer resourceExplorer)
        {
                yield return new DeclarativeType<OnBeginDialog>(OnBeginDialog.Kind);
     ...
        }
}

BotComponent (new method):

BotComponent implementations will be loaded into the type system either

    1. automatically by the runtime when the referencing project contains an entry in the 'components' array within appsettings.json, or
    1. directly from startup.cs by calling new MyBotComponent().ConfigureServices(services, configuration);

Code: AdaptiveBotComponent

    public class AdaptiveBotComponent : BotComponent
    {
        public override void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services, IConfiguration configuration)
        {
                services.AddSingleton<DeclarativeType>(sp => new DeclarativeType<OnBeginDialog>(OnBeginDialog.Kind));
        }
   }

Other improvements

  • Extended DialogExtensions.RunAsync so it fully supports AdaptiveDialogs
  • Consolidated the implementation of DialogManager so it uses DialogExtensions.RunAsync
  • Introduced AdaptiveDialogBot an IBot implementation for running AdaptiveDialogs, follows the pattern established with DialogBot<T> used across the samples and uses DialogExtensions.RunAsync to execute the Dialog. It implements IBot directly rather than deriving from ActivityHandler. Significantly the implementation captures the TurnState dependencies that an AdaptiveDialog has.
  • The adaptive runtime moves from Preview to GA. This introduces a new package called Microsoft.Bot.Builder.Dialogs.Adaptive.Runtime. In the process the core ServiceCollectionExtensions.AddBotRuntime was re-implemented to use the new AdaptiveDialogBot class. It also now injects most of the key dependencies for the AdaptiveDialog (now explicitly modeled in the AdaptiveDialogBots constructor) with TryAddSingleton so they act as replace-able defaults.
  • Various Skill classes have been updated so they now aligns with the fully parameterizable Auth abstractions introduced in 4.12.0 with CloudAdapter.
