1.3.0

What's new December 2020

Bot Framework Composer, a visual authoring tool for building Conversational AI applications, has seen strong uptake from customers and positive feedback since entering general availability at Microsoft BUILD 2020. We continue to invest in ensuring Composer provides the best possible experience for our customers.

Welcome to the December 2020 release of Bot Framework Composer. This article summarizes key new features and improvements in Bot Framework Composer 1.3 stable release. There are a number of updates in this version that we hope you will like. Some of the key highlights include:

  • Bot project

    A multi-bot authoring and management experience. Composers Bot project feature supports a high-level authoring experience to create, manage, test, and publish a multi-bot family consisting of a dominant root bot and several skills (local or remote). Both the root bot and the skills are reusable components that can be exported, consumed, and shared among other users.

  • In-app Azure login and provision

    Support login Azure and provision resources through Composer. This feature enables users to login to Azure, provision Azure resources, and publish bots, all within the Composer environment.

  • Localization

    Multilingual support of Composer user interface. Users can view and experience the Composer application in a different language than English. Check the Application Language settings section of Composer's Application Settings page and select your preferred language to display Composer's user interface.

  • Telemetry

    Enabled a telemetry workstream to collect usage information. The telemetry information will help the Composer team to better understand how the tool is being used and how to improve it. To help us provide the usage data, you can enable the telemetry feature from the Data Collection section of the Application Settings page.

  • Form dialogs (Preview)

    A feature to automatically generate a dialog by defining properties in a form. Using Bot Framework SDK's dialog generation API, Composers Form dialogs feature provides customers with a more straightforward approach to create dialog assets that include the conversation logic, language understanding models, and bot responses.

  • Orchestrator (Preview)

    A top-level recognizer added in Composer. Orchestrator is an alternative approach to consume language understanding (LU). Orchestrator will help arbitrate between multiple LUIS and QnA Maker applications to route user input to an appropriate skill or to subsequent language processing services.

  • Package manager (Preview)

    An extensible authoring interface for conversational assets. Using the native package management tools of NuGet and NPM, Composer's Package manager allows users to find and install packages of prebuilt features such as customizable dialogs, LG templates, and custom actions. Installed packages will add new components to the bot and for users to customize in Composer. Users can view, update, and remove installed packages.

  • Conversational core template (Preview)

    A component model for developing bots with reusable building blocks. With this preview feature enabled, users can build a conversational core template that consists of a configurable adaptive runtime and can be extended by importing packages of functionality or connecting to other bots such as skills.
