2025-06-23 - Error message after bypass timeout

Resolved a bug in the Aura Conversational experience on STB (Brazil, ES) where, after a bypass timeout period (240 seconds) during a Custom Recommendation dialog, the subsequent user messages (e.g., greetings) triggered a generic error response instead of the appropriate intent-based reply. After this bypass timeout, the system incorrectly attempted to access the topIntent property from an undefined object, resulting in an unhandled exception in the tv-custom-recommendation dialog flow.

This has been fixed through an improved session management logic to correctly handle post-timeout interactions. If a session has expired, the bot now properly reinitializes context and safely processes the next user message (e.g., COMMON.GREETINGS) instead of throwing an internal error.

2025-06-17 - Fixed metrics to be aggregated by path in Prometheus metrics

13.1.2 - Atria Model Gateway changelog

Atria Model Gateway changelog

Changelog of Atria Model Gateway for Nodoubt Aura Platform release

Added

2025-03-05 - New AI-driven model available: OpenAI o3-mini

Changed

2025-03-05 - Updated tiktoken library version

  • In atria-model-gateway, the tiktoken library has been updated to 0.9.0 version.

2025-03-05 - Launch an exception when config loading fails

  • If the configuration load fails when starting the atria-model-gateway pods, then an exception is launched and the process stops.
  • If the configuration load fails when the /refresh endpoint is called, then the exception is caught and we continue with the previously loaded configuration.

2025-03-05 - Session id logs

  • Requests from atria-rag-server to atria-model-gateway now have the original session id plus the suffix -rag. This helps tracking a request in Elastic.

Fixed

2025-03-05 - Set context window of RAG requests to 0

  • Bug fixing in atria-model-gateway: Until now, requests from atria-rag-server to atria-model-gateway had internally configured the same window in the preset. This could lead to wrong responses. This happened because the preset context-window was applied to both the user session and the requests from atria-rag-server to atria-model-gateway. To resolve it, now the context-window is set to 0 in requests from the atria-rag-server, while in the user session this parameter will be the one defined in the preset.

  • If the size of a log is too large, we prevent it from being recorded.

2025-03-05 - Allowed logging prompts

2025-03-05 - Cleaned operational logs

  • Removed operational logs from /status and /metrics endpoints

2025-03-05 - Rename chunkSizeLoad by loadChunkSize

26.1.2 - Aura Authentication API changelog

Aura Authentication API changelog

Changelog of Aura Authentication API component for Dire Straits Aura Platform release

Changed

2024-03-25 - Modified the close method in aura-kpi-handler to prevent datasets loss

  • Update the aura-kpi-handler to close KPIWriterManager and avoid the loss of datasets from aura-bot: The close method of aura-kpi-handler now includes a call to all components with a purpose: that during the gracefulShutdown period, which is executed if the kubernetes cluster has to remove a pod, they are forced to upload to Azure Storage all the CSV fields included in the pod memory. Doing so, all the KPIs files are saved when the process is finished.

2024-03-13 - Add retries to calls between internal components

  • 503 error between aura-groot and aura-bot consisting of the duplication of handover sessions was already fixed through the removal of blockages caused by the simultaneous upload of KPI files to Azure Storage.
  • Now, this behavior has been optimized by making retries between Aura internal components that contains a specific environment variable, AURA_INTERNAL_RETRIES, that specifies the number of retries for internal calls (by default: 1).
  • This affects to retries for callback calls to aura-bridge with superagent when the ECONNRESET error is received as a response.

2024-03-11 - Add retries to calls between internal components

  • 503 error between aura-groot and aura-bot consisting of the duplication of handover sessions was already fixed through the removal of blockages caused by the simultaneous upload of KPI files to Azure Storage.
  • Now, this behavior has been optimized by making retries between Aura internal components that contains a specific environment variable, AURA_INTERNAL_RETRIES, that specifies the number of retries for internal calls (by default: 1).
  • This affects to retries between calls of internal components like aura-configuration-api, aura-authentication-api or aura-nlp.

Changed

2024-03-25 - Modified the close method in aura-kpi-handler to prevent datasets loss

  • Update the aura-kpi-handler to close KPIWriterManager and avoid the loss of datasets from aura-bot: The close method of aura-kpi-handler now includes a call to all components with a purpose: that during the gracefulShutdown period, which is executed if the kubernetes cluster has to remove a pod, they are forced to upload to Azure Storage all the CSV fields included in the pod memory. Doing so, all the KPIs files are saved when the process is finished.

2024-03-11 - Update Aura Bot docker image to the latest node 18 version

  • Update to nodejs 18.19.1 version.
  • Updated aura-bot, aura-minibot and aura-configuration-updater docker images.

Fixed

2024-04-19 - Fixed errors during the deployment of local use cases

  • In certain scenarios, during the deployment of local use cases, the user received an error message as the aura-bot pod was removed. The error was caused if, during an update, aura-bot detected any context created with the previous version of the dialogs.
  • This behavior has been corrected, as now the DialogEvents.versionChanged events are managed in the main dialog and are logged to prevent a subsequent error from occurring.

2024-04-10 - Update locales in aura-bot

  • All aura-bot locales have been updated to the latest version in POEditor Aura-Bot project.

32.1.2 - Aura Authentication API changelog

Aura Authentication API changelog

Changelog of Aura Authentication API component for Youngblood Aura Platform release

Updated

2023-11-02 - Update Aura Authentication docker image to the latest node 18 version

Fixed

2023-11-13 - Status that are not HTTP status codes should not logged as status

  • Elastic parsers are configured to handle and index the status field of logs, but it only works properly if status is an integer value or if it is a string parseable to integer. As we were logging some status that were not integer values, Elastic parsing was broken.
  • In Terms and Conditions API, within service, we are logging the status of the consent in the database, that is a string not parseable to integer, as status has been changed to tac.status.

2023-11-13 - Use correct drt value in logs

  • The field drt should be an integer value containing the number of milliseconds that the request took to be processed, but in some cases it was a float value.
  • This fix ensures that the drt field is always an integer value.

32.1.3 - Aura Bot changelog

Aura bot changelog

Changelog of Aura Bot component for Youngblood Aura Platform release

Updated

2023-11-02 - Update Aura Bot docker image to the latest node 18 version

  • Update to nodejs 18.18.2 version.
  • Updated aura-bot, aura-mini-bot and aura-configuration-updater docker images.

Fixed

2023-11-13 - Fix correlator value in several aura-bot logs

  • aura-storage-file-manager now uses aura-system as correlator value in the logs.
  • aura-session-manager now uses the correlator of the request in the logs.
  • channel-data-utils now uses the correlator of the request in the logs.
  • aura-cache-management now uses the correlator of the request in the logs.
  • aura-authentication now uses the correlator of the request in the logs.
  • aura-cache-management now uses the correlator of the request in the logs.

2023-11-13 - Remove by default settings of aura-bot-common-library

  • By default, dialog-config.json file assured that all smalltalk intents were available in all channels, unless a different configuration was specified in the dialog-config file specific for a country.
  • Currently, this default behavior is no longer needed, so the default configuration has been removed from aura-bot-common-library. Now, if a country does not specify a configuration for smalltalk intents, they will not be available in the channels.

2023-11-13 - Status that are not HTTP status codes should not logged as status

  • Elastic parsers are configured to handle and index the status field of logs, but it only works properly if status is an integer value or if it is a string parseable to integer. As we were logging some status that were not integer values, Elastic parsing was broken.
  • In channel-data-utils we are logging the status of the response, that is an object, as status has been changed to activityStatus.

2023-11-13 - Aura Bot was blocked for a long time when aura-bot-mocks-library configuration was refreshed

  • aura-bot-mocks-library configuration is stored in Azure Storage and was downloaded every 2 minutes to assure that the mock dialog sent the right answer.
  • As the files are quite big, the download process could take a long time, and during that time, the bot was blocked and could not answer any request. Moreover, some of the requests being processed were stuck and not answered until the download process had finished.
  • Besides, the responses of the mock are never changed, so the download process is not needed. We have changed the default configuration to once a day to avoid the download process and the bot blocking.

2023-11-13 - isCached field has now a correct value for anonymous users in Aura Bot KPI USER entity files

  • isCached field is used to know if the information of a user has been read from the users’ cache or not. But for anonymous users, the value of this field was always false, even if the user was cached.

2023-11-13 - Avoid skipping T&C for recently logged users

  • With shared caches for anonymous and authenticated users, in some cases T&C could be skipped in recently authenticated users.

32.1.4 - Aura Bridge changelog

Aura bridge changelog

Changelog of Aura bridge component for Youngblood Aura Platform release

Updated

2023-11-02 - Update Aura Bridge docker image to the latest node 18 version

Added

2023-11-16 - Updated environment variables information

  • A new column is added in aura-bridge environment variables documentation to mark if the value of each variable in the config-map of the inbound and outbound aura-bridge must be the same or not, taking into account that they both work together and require a consistent configuration.
  • Remember that the inbound and outbound aura-bridge are the very same component, but they are deployed separately. In the deployment aura-bridge handles the requests coming to Aura and aura-bridge-outbound handles the responses produced by Aura.
  • Affected documents:

2023-11-07 - Unify the conversationId regardless of the phone number format in BR

  • aura-bridge now unifies the conversationId regardless of the phone number format in BR. This change applied to the aurapush-incoming-processor and whatsapp-incoming-processor plugins. Both plugins now use the getUnifiedConversationId method to obtain the conversationId.
  • New environment variables AURA_PHONE_COUNTRY_CODE_NU and AURA_WHATSAPP_BR_UNIFIED_CONVID are added to aura-bridge.
  • Affected documents:

Fixed

2023-11-13 - Sibling messages are no longer sent when a non-retriable error is received

  • Until this fix, when a non-retriable error was received, the sibling messages were sent to the user, although a previous message within the response had already failed.
  • Now, when a non-retriable error is received, the sibling messages are not sent to the user, as was specified for aura-bridge.

2023-11-13 - Fix extra delay when multiple bubbles are returned

  • Until this fix, when multiple bubbles were returned within a response, an extra delay was added between each bubble.

2023-11-13 - Status that are not HTTP status codes should not logged as status

  • Elastic parsers are configured to handle and index the status field of logs, but it only works properly if status is an integer value or if it is a string parseable to integer. As we were logging some status that were not integer values, Elastic parsing was broken.
  • In message-sync-manager-redis we are logging the status of the message in the queue, that is a string not parseable to integer, as status has been changed to messageStatus.

2023-11-13 - Avoid delay in the delivery of the messages when the communication between Aura Bridge and Aura Groot fails

  • The common system of handling the flows within aura-bridge, aura-bridge-flow, has been changed so the system is now able to register the information of each message when it is needed and to remove it in the happening of a non-recoverable error.

2023-11-13 - Do not return options list header when the UC returns a message without text

  • Until this fix the options title was being added if any option existed, although those titles were empty.
  • directline-to-whatsapp-converter has been updated so the title is only added if there is information of any of the options, so the titles are not empty.

2023-11-13 - Avoid duplicates in error messages after receiving a retrievable error

  • Until this fix after receiving a retrievable error several times, the error message was being duplicated.

2023-10-31 - Avoid duplicates in outgoing messages (Tequila 8.0.1.)

Modified the execution of aura-bridge queues to avoid duplicating output messages.

In this first version, it only applies a domain, that is the channel that originated the request. This means, that every channel can be led to a different skill, so to a different bot. This component is the first access point to Aura, and thus, in charge of validating the requests and responses.
  • All Aura’s features are kept the same, so neither the channels nor the dialogs need to be modified. All the needed changes have been applied in Aura Bot and Aura Groot, to make the transition transparent to the rest of the components.
  • Affected documents:

2023-07-18 - KPI entities are written

  • Aura Groot writes KPI entities to the same Blob Container of the rest of Aura’s components. It writes already existing entities but also some new ones:
    • GROOTMESSAGE: entity to store all the incoming and outgoing messages handled by Aura Groot.
    • USER: entity to store all the users handled by Aura Groot.
    • RECOGNIZER: entity to store all the recognizers handled by Aura Groot. In this version, only an internal recognizer to match each channel with its skill is used, but it is also stored as a recognizer interaction the eventual IntentResult returned by the skill.

  • Affected documents:

2023-07-07 - Incoming content-type field is sent from aura-bot to file-manager

  • If a user sends a file from a WhatsApp channel to Aura, when it is sent as a document, the extension is not always included in the request, and it must be inferred from the Content-Type sent by WhatsApp in the body of the request. Currently, aura-bot sends the incoming Content-Type in the request to the file-manager, so it can store the file with a proper extension in all the cases.

  • Affected documents:

2023-07-18 - Aura Bot is no longer a single bot but a skill

  • Aura Bot has been converted into a skill to be able to work jointly with Aura Groot. This change implies a lot of modifications regarding who is the first access point to Aura, and thus, in charge of validating the requests and responses. This is now Aura Groot. So, some of the middlewares previously needed by Aura Bot have been moved to Aura Groot.
  • Some of these changes are:
    • Aura Bot is no longer responsible for validating the channelData of the requests and responses.
    • Aura Bridge now communicates with Aura Groot, so Aura Bot does not neeed to handle Aura APIKey header.
  • Affected documents:

2023-07-18 - New version of Aura Mini Bot to work as a skill with Aura Mini Groot

2023-07-18 - Prometheus HTTP request metrics aggregation

  • Add a mechanism based on an environment variable to be able to aggregate HTTP path metrics in Prometheus.
  • A new environment variable has been added to aura-bot to be able to aggregate HTTP path metrics in Prometheus. This variable is called AURA_PROMETHEUS_REGEX. By default, it contains an empty object, but it can be updated in the config-map of aura-bot to include all APIs that are used by all the dialogs. The variable contains a JSON object with the following structure: a key with the aggregation key to be used in Prometheus and a value with the regular expression to be used to match the path.

Rolling Stones release

This section includes key information regarding new features included in Aura Platform for Rolling Stones and main changes in comparison with previous releases

What’s new in Rolling Stones (7.11.0)?

Discover here the new features and modifications at a glance. You can find the technical details in the release changelog and the Release Notes.

Novelties Description
Ported bugfixing in Pink Floyd 7.9.1 version ✔️ Different bugs have been resolved in the Pink Floyd 7.9.1. version related to a wrong execution of Aura minibot, aura-bot blocking in a specific scenario with non-DirectLine channels and a modification of APIs for a Movistar Home use case.
Ported bugfixing in Pink Floyd 7.9.2 version ✔️ Improvements in http-monkey-patcher library: a new environment variable has been added to enable/disable logging of HTTP requests using got library, and fixed a continuous overwrite issue in socket._write that provokes a MAXIMUM CALL STACK SIZE EXCEEDED error.
Ported bugfixing in Queen 7.10.1 version: Convert Aura entity files to Azure Block Blob ✔️ To keep Aura entity files compatible with Aura DataSet Importer, running on Kernel, Blobs must be of type Block. Now, Aura KPIs Uploader converts them from Append to Block before uploading them to Kernel Azure Storage. Thus, Aura DataSet Importer is able to convert them to Avro.
Deleted support for Google Assistant (GOA) ✔️ Aura has suppressed the support for Google Assistant channel. As a result, GOA training, GOA locales, dialogs config, dialog wakeup have been removed. Additionally, Google bridge (aog-bridge, which was used for connections from actions on Google) has been deprecated.
TV display use case ✔️ The TV display global use case is integrated into channelData v3 and, for the current release, includes basic features for displaying a channel requested by a user
TV display CLF plugin ✔️ Added the Complex Logic Framework plugin for TV display use case
Update canons, aliases and new commands for STB sections ✔️ New catalogs, and training for intent.navigation.section_show.
Review STB navigation.section_show configuration ✔️ Now it uses the new channel setting, settings.swapEntityCanonValue, that allows selecting the field of the entity to be returned as value in the response of Aura Bot. By default, value field is returned. However, if the entity is configured, then the canon field is returned instead.
Aura NLP bugfixing: changed Grafana dashboard units ✔️ The Grafana dashboard Aura HTTP inbound previously displayed nlp metrics in milliseconds, causing latency errors metrics in Aura NLP. However, this issue has been resolved, and the current results are displayed in seconds.
Improved Aura Platform documentation ✔️ Aura Technical documentation website is progressively adapted to an improved architecture and structure
✔️ Documents are continuously updated, reviewed and corrected in order to achieve, release after release, a better quality in Aura Platform documentation.
