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.
