BIG UPDATE:
Botkit now works on the web! The new web connector supports websocket and webhook connections for sending and receiving messages. The brand new Botkit Anywhere starter kit includes a customizable web chat client, and a built-in chat server. Of course, this works with the existing stack of Botkit tools and plugins!
New for Botkit Studio:
Developers using Botkit Studio to create and manage script content can now utilize a new message action in their conditional statements, or at the end of any thread.
It is now possible to direct your bot to seamlessly transition to a different Botkit Studio script. This allows for new patterns like interconnected menus, loops and branching conversations.
New core features:
Developers can now exclude specific types of events from being included in conversations using
controller.excludeFromConversations(event_name).This has been applied to the Facebook connector, which will now exclude certain events automatically. Docs
The tick interval used for driving conversations can now be adjusted using
controller.setTickDelay(ms). DocsMerged pull requests:
Our community of Botkit Core developers is more than 150 people strong! Thank you to all of the contributors who spent their precious time improving Botkit for everyone. There are more than a dozen pull requests included in this release!!

New platform support:
Microsoft Teams is now officially supported with its own connector, including new features in Botkit Studio like authoring of Teams-specific attachments, an app package builder and configuration manager, and a new starter kit.
Read the full docs for Botkit for Microsoft Teams
Major changes to message handling code:
Introducing the Botkit Message Pipeline, a formalized process for Botkit's handling of incoming and outgoing messages. All of the platform connectors have been refactored to use this new series of middleware functions, and are now implemented in a uniform way.
Developers who make use of Botkit's middleware system should take time to read this update. Most current middleware functions will continue to work as expected, but mild changes may be desirable to update these functions to use Botkit's latest features.
In addition, developers who use third party middleware plugins should carefully retest their applications after upgrading to version 0.6, as these plugins may need to be updated for full compatibility.
Upgrade Guide:
This version of Botkit deprecates the
receive_via_postbackandinteractive_repliesoptionsthat caused button clicks to be treated as typed messages. These and other small changes to the way Botkit emits events may require minor updates to some Botkit apps.
Upgrading from Botkit 0.5 or lower? Read this guide!
