The first versioned release of the webchat.
Every breaking change, bug fix or improvement will be referenced here.
TL;DR: Improve the way buttons and quickReplies are handled by the webchat.
A button or a quickReply is composed of:
- a title, displayed in the webchat (ex: "Let's the show begin!")
- a value, sent to the Bot Connector when the button is clicked (ex: "RANDOM_BORING_INTERNAL_VALUE")
Previously, the value was sent as a text message, and appeared as such in the webchat as a reply from the user. This mean that when clicking on "Let's the show beging", a user message would appear in the webchat with the content "RANDOM_BORING_INTERNAL_VALUE".
Now, when clicking on a button, both the value and the title are sent. This way, the Bot Connector still receive the value, but the webchat can display the more user-friendly title.
Patch preventing the apparition of "null" in the webchat's input on Edge
Before version 1.2.0, the placeholder text displayed in the user's input was 'Write a reply'.
In versions 1.2.0 and above, it's now configurable.
Available as userInputPlaceholder (string) in the preferences object fetched via getChannelPreferences().
