v4.5.0

Welcome to the 4.5 release of the Bot Framework SDK for Javascript!

Today, we are happy to announce the Bot Framework support for Emulator Channel Testing is generally available. 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.

We also added capabilities for Unit Testing your bots. The Microsoft.Bot.Builder.Testing package simplifies the process of unit testing dialogs in your bot.

As with any release, we fixed a number of bugs, continue to improve LUIS and QnA integration and further clean our engineering practices. There were additional updates across other areas like Language, Prompts, Dialogs, State and Storage.
