Added

Changed

    • track bot talking state -> tracking bot talking state (core.co)
    • track user talking state -> tracking user talking state (core.co)

    • track visual choice selection state -> track visual choice selection state (avatars.co)
    • track user utterance state -> tracking user talking state (core.co)
    • track bot utterance state -> No replacement yet (copy to your bot script)
    • interruption handling bot talking -> handling bot talking interruption (avatars.co)

[2.0-alpha] - 2024-02-28

Colang 2.0 represents a complete overhaul of both the language and runtime. Key enhancements include:

Added

  • A more powerful flows engine supporting multiple parallel flows and advanced pattern matching over the stream of events.
  • A standard library to simplify bot development.
  • Smaller set of core abstractions: flows, events, and actions.
  • Explicit entry point through the main flow and explicit activation of flows.
  • Asynchronous actions execution.
  • Adoption of terminology and syntax akin to Python to reduce the learning curve for new developers.
