Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file. This project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

Fixed

• the ansible playbook now creates a valid credentials.yml file for Rasa Core

[0.18.0] - 2019-04-30

This is a major update, please read the migration instructions in the Migration Guide.

Added

• API endpoint to bulk upload and replace bot responses at PUT /responses

[0.18.0b1] - 2019-03-29

Added

• API endpoint to retrieve NLU training examples by the MD5 hash of their text field at GET /projects/<project_id>/data/<md5_hash>

[0.17.0] - 2018-12-04

This is a major new version which adds support for Rasa Core 0.12. The Rasa Core and NLU containers are now the open source ones available from docker hub. Since the docker-compose.yml and .env files have changed, we recommend you update by fetching and running the latest version of the install script (see platform installation docs). important Since there is a major version change in Rasa Core, you should re-train your model with Rasa Core 0.12 and upload it

Added

• User analytics endpoints at /analytics
• query parameters start, until, policies, minimumUserMessages, policies, maximumConfidence at GET /conversations endpoint
• Endpoints to fetch conversation metadata on unique actions, intents, entities and policies. These are /conversationActions, /conversationIntents, /conversationEntities, /conversationPolicies
• support for emojis in training data
• add endpoint to flag user conversations
• Migrations for conversations metadata which did not yet include fields like intents, and actions
• Conversation filtering UI

Changed

• Change in docker-compose.yml
• Use open source Docker containers for Rasa Core and Rasa NLU
• Bump rasa_core to v0.12
• Bump rasa_core_sdk to v0.12
• Bump demobot to v0.17
• no-root Dockerfiles
• UI improvements
• Update nginx configurations. Workers set to auto, more connections per worker, tuned connections timeouts.

Removed

Fixed

This is a major update, please read the migration instructions in the Migration Guide.

Added

• major version change to support Rasa Core 0.11.4+ and Rasa NLU 0.13.3+.
• ability to configure the name of the authenticationDatabase used by mongo using MONGO_AUTHDB env var
• core and NLU model APIs at /models/<project>/core and /models/<project>/nlu. See the full API docs at Models API
• Endpoint that delegates user messages to a specific Rasa Core environment POST /conversations/<user_id>/messages, with a query parameter environment (default value: production). Example: POST /conversations/myid/messages?environment=development.

Changed

• POST /stories endpoint accepts plain text (<STORY>) instead of a {'story': <STORY>} object
• GET /api/version endpoint no longer requires auth
• Rasa NLU model training can now be initiated at POST /models/<project>/nlu/jobs

• Consistent Core and NLU tagging scheme. The endpoints are (examples given for

  core, replace base with /models/<project>/nlu for NLU endpoints):

• add tag: PUT /models/<project>/core/<model_name>/tags/<mytag>
• delete tag: DELETE /models/<project>/core/<model_name>/tags/<mytag>
• get model for tag GET /models/<project>/core/tags/<mytag>
• get model by name GET /models/<project>/core/<model_name>

• GET /conversations returns a list of conversation metadata containing the fields sender_id, latest_event_time and latest_input_channel

Example request:

$ curl platform-server.com/api/conversations?api_token=<TOKEN> | python -m json.tool

Example response:

[
  {
    "sender_id": "user_1",
    "latest_event_time": 1537345401.394812,
    "latest_input_channel": "rasa"
  },
  {
    "sender_id": "8a513b01b4924c4986f424686771a501",
    "latest_event_time": 1537345428.457986,

  }
]

Removed

• support for until_time and history query parameter at GET /statistics endpoint

Fixed

[0.15.5] - 2018-08-28

Added

• URL field queries to include or exclude fields from query result

User can specify which fields they want to include in the returned object, using one or more fields query parameters. A story object has a name key, which means that GET /stories?fields[name]=true would return only the name s of the stories.

To query nested attributes, use syntax similar to python dictionaries. For example, a log object has the following structure: {"user_input": {"intent": {"name": "greet",...}}}. So to find all the unique intent values in the data, query: ?fields[user_input][intent][name]=true. By default this only returns distinct values for the requested field. This can be turned off by passing distinct=false as an extra query parameter. - supported by endpoints /responses, /stories, /logs, /data

Changed
