Bot Framework for Java SDK 4.14.3

Welcome to the October 2022 release of the Bot Framework Java SDK. This is a maintenance release to address security issues and notify of Java SDK retirement.

The Bot Framework Java SDK is being retired with final long-term support ending in November 2023, after which this repository will be archived. There will be no further feature development, with only critical security and bug fixes within this repository being undertaken. Existing bots built with this SDK will continue to function. For all new bot development we recommend that you adopt Power Virtual Agents or use the Bot Framework C# or Bot Framework JavaScript SDKs.

For more information about the recommended approach to, and future of, bot building, please see https://powervirtualagents.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/the-future-of-bot-building/

Insiders: Want to try new features as soon as possible? You can download the nightly Insiders build [C#] [JS] [Python] [CLI] and try the latest updates as soon as they are available. And for the latest Bot Framework news, updates, and content, follow us on Twitter @msbotframework!

Microsoft Teams

Continued improvements enabling features for creating bots and apps in Teams.

• Get Participant Meeting API
• CacheInfo support on Invoke responses
• OAuthInput fix
• Meeting specific notification support
• Add on_teams_team_renamed (python only)

Skills

To reduce development friction, you can now run and test skills locally with the Emulator without needing an AppId and password.

Quality for skills is critical, and we're making large invements in automated testing. That work is (mostly) still in the design phase, and feedback is very welcome:

• Functional Testing Spec
• Test Runner Spec

We're also continuing to bring features to skills to enable additional scenarios:

• Interruptions are enabled in BeginSkill.
• Update and Delete activities from a skill.

Overall SDK Improvements

Code quality and testing infrastructure have continued to be a focus for the this SDK release.

• The default branch on all repositories has been renamed to 'main'.
• We have improved typing and transcript logger middleware behavior and error handling.
• Dotnet SDK tests have been ported to xunit.
• Configurable Adaptive Dialog cycle detection.
• Form Dialog preview

Documentation

Updates and improvements to existing documentation have continued.

• Updated and expanded documentation for adaptive dialogs.
• Updated and reorganized the security and authentication topics.
• Updated information about: .lg custom functions, adaptive expressions, and memory scopes.

Cloud Adapter (not yet feature complete, dotnet only)

The Cloud Adapter introduces an enriched configuration model and enables hosting a bot in any cloud environment.

• Supports the Bot Framework protocol and auth model.
• All the constants defining the auth model are configurable.
• Note: 4.11.0 does not have full feature parity with BotFrameworkAdapter
  • Streaming support, OAuthPrompt support and full Skill support are coming soon.
  • Preview: The recommendation is to continue using BotFrameworkAapter in the 4.11.0 release unless the environment requires configurable auth constants.

Orchestrator Preview

Orchestrator is a Language Understanding arbitration (“dispatch”) technology to route incoming user utterances to an appropriate skill or to subsequent language processing service such as LUIS or QnA Maker.

• It is a transformer based solution that is optimized for conversational AI applications.
• It is built to run locally in your bot.
• It is written in C++ and is available as a library in C#, Node.js and soon Python and Java.
• The current release is designed to be used only for intent detection. Entity recognition is on the roadmap.
• Orchestrator can be used in code-first solutions or directly in Composer.
  This is a preview release with improved documentation and language models.

CLI

• The CLI will now download an merge dialog assets.
• Ordering of names while merging.
• Expose import resolver interface for cross-train/luis:build/qnamaker:build
• Region support in lg translate

Virtual Assistant

• Skills improvements
• Core runtime design updates

Composer

• Please see the detailed Bot Framework Composer release notes

HealthBot

The Health Bot Service is a cloud platform for virtual health assistants and health bots, Health Bot uses Bot Framework under the hood. With the latest upgrade to the Bot Framework SDK V4 foundation, Health Bot can be called as a Bot Framework skill or call subsequent custom Bot Framework skills. See more here: Health Bot Overview.

Power Virtual Agents

Power Virtual Agents (PVA) is part of Microsoft Power Platform. In PVA, chatbots can be created with a guided, no-code graphical interface - and without the need for data scientists or developers. In the latest integration with Bot Framework SDK, PVA can be extended to create custom solutions.

• Use Bot Framework Composer to create and connect to Bot Framework skills.
• Publish directly from Bot Framework Composer to PVA portal into PVA Topics runtime (coming soon).
