Bot Framework SDK for Python v4.5b5

v4.5b5

Welcome to the 4.5b5 release of the Bot Framework SDK for Python!

This version of the SDK breaks backwards compatibility at the storage layer to fix some broken edge-case scenarios. If a current bot uses the previous botbuilder-azure Cosmos or Blob storage classes this update might break read/write scenarios if the data model is class based. We recommend backing-up current stored data and have a migration strategy moving into this new version.

Changelog:

• Initial template for echo bot. [PR 351] Fixes #350.
• Fixed black formatting. [PR 347]
• Updated recognizers versions. [PR 346]
• Fixed empty name error message typo in bot_state.py. [PR 345]
• Update for erialization in blob storage. [PR 344]

Bot Framework SDK for Python v4.5

v4.5.0

Welcome to the official release of the Bot Framework SDK for Python, v4.5!

Today, we are happy to announce Bot Framework support for Python. This brings Bot Framework parity to Python developers (min requirement of Python 3.6) as well as bringing support for Emulator Channel Testing. This enables developers to debug and test your Bot Framework SDK v4 bots on channels like Microsoft Teams, Slack, Cortana, Facebook Messenger, Skype, etc. As you have the conversation, messages will be mirrored to the Bot Framework Emulator where you can inspect the message data that the bot received. Additionally, a snapshot of the bot state for any given turn between the channel and the bot is rendered as well.

As with any release, we fixed a number of bugs.
