## [4.15.3] - 2022-08-10

### Breaking changes

- Suggested actions is now a [`role="toolbar"`](https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/toolbar/) and adopted roving tab index
   - <kbd>TAB</kbd> key will now land on the container, instead of individual button
   - While the focus is on the container, <kbd>LEFT</kbd>/<kbd>RIGHT</kbd> arrow keys are used to select different buttons (<kbd>UP</kbd>/<kbd>DOWN</kbd> for stacked layout)
   - Visual focus indicator is now two tiered. The default styling is same as the one we use in chat history
      - New style options added `suggestedActionsVisualKeyboardIndicatorColor`, `suggestedActionsVisualKeyboardIndicatorStyle`, `suggestedActionsVisualKeyboardIndicatorWidth`
   - Suggested actions container will be unmounted when there are no suggested action button to display
   - Suggested actions container is not longer a live region. The suggested action buttons will now be narrated by the chat history live region
- Published NPM packages will now include `/dist`, `/lib`, and `/src` folders
   - The `/dist` folder was previously missing from our NPM packages
- The `activity.channelData.state` property is being deprecated in favor of the updated [`activity.channelData['webchat:send-status']`](https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/blob/main/packages/core/src/types/WebChatActivity.ts) property. Main differences include:
   - Previously, we would set the `state` property to `"send failed"` when the chat adapter failed to send the activity, or after passing a timeout as defined in `styleOptions.sendTimeout`
   - The new `'webchat:send-status'` property will be set to `"send failed"` when the chat adapter fails to send the activity or after passing a hardcoded timeout of 5 minutes
   - See PR [#4362](https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/pull/4362) for details

### Changed

- Resolves [#4301](https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/issues/4301). Updated `Dockerfile` to support secure container supply chain, by [@compulim](https://github.com/compulim) in PR [#4303](https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/pull/4303)
- Resolves [#4317](https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/issues/4317). Updated `package.json` to allowlist `/dist`, `/lib`, `/src`, by [@compulim](https://github.com/compulim) in PR [#4318](https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/pull/4318)
- Resolves [#4322](https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/issues/4322). Improved error messages for sending activities, by [@compulim](https://github.com/compulim) in PR [#4362](https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/pull/4362)
- Resolves [#4211](https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/issues/4211). Added new `useSendStatusByActivityKey` hook to check the UI send status of an outgoing activity, by [@compulim](https://github.com/compulim) in PR [#4362](https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/pull/4362)
   - The send status returned by this hook is designed to display different UIs that reflect the "sending", "send failed" or "sent" status of the activity
   - When modifying `styleOptions.sendTimeout` prop, the send status returned by this hook may transition from `"send failed"` to `"sending"`, and vice versa
   - This is different from the send status provided by the chat adapter, namely `activity.channelData['webchat:send-status']`

### Fixed

- Fixes [#4293](https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/issues/4293) and [#4296](https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/issues/4296).

- Fixes [#3949](https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/issues/3949). For accessibility reasons, buttons in Adaptive Cards should be `role="button"` instead of `role="menubar"`/`role="menuitem"`, by [@compulim](https://github.com/compulim), in PR [#4263](https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/issues/4263)
- Fixes [#4211](https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/issues/4211). Screen reader should read when an activity was failed to send, by [@compulim](https://github.com/compulim), in PR [#4362](https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/pull/4362), also fixed:
   - The "send failed" status on the activity should show up as soon as the chat adapter failed to send the activity
- Fixes [#4312](https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/issues/4312). `groupActivityMiddleware` returning invalid value should not throw exceptions, by [@compulim](https://github.com/compulim), in PR [#4378](https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/pull/4378).

## [4.15.2] - 2022-05-09

### Breaking changes

- A new `type WebChatActivity` is introduced in the `botframework-webchat-core` package
   - If you are previously using the `type DirectLineActivity`, you may need to move to this new type
   - All Web Chat APIs will use the newer `type WebChatActivity`
   - The new `type WebChatActivity` is a well-defined type for handling activities inside Web Chat
   - The existing `type DirectLineActivity` will be used solely for communicating with `type DirectLineJSBotConnection`, a.k.a. `botframework-directlinejs` package

### Added

### Breaking changes

- A new style option `scrollToEndButtonBehavior` is introduced to control when the scroll to end button should show (formerly "new messages" button):

## [4.11.0] - 2020-11-04

### Added

- Resolves [#3281](https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/issues/3281). Added documentation on speech permissions for Cordova apps on Android, by [@corinagum](https://github.com/corinagum), in PR [#3508](https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/pull/3508)
- Resolves [#3316](https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/issues/3316). Refactored platform-neutral APIs into the new `api` package, to be reused on React Native component, in PR [#3543](https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/pull/3543) by [@compulim](https://github.com/compulim)
   - The new layering is `core` -> `api` -> `component` (HTML-only) -> `bundle`
   - Includes composition mode, platform-neutral React hooks, and localization resources
   - Most hooks are available in the new `api` package. Some hooks are only available on the existing `component` package, due to their platform dependency or coupling with visual components. For example, Web Worker, 2D canvas, `useMicrophoneButton*` are not available on the `api` package
   - Most implementations of middleware are only available in `component` package due to their coupling with visual components or platform features. Some implementations, (e.g. card action middleware and activity grouping middleware) are available on `api` package. For example:
      - Carousel layout and stacked layout is only available on `component` package due to their coupling with their respective visual components
      - For card action middleware, `imBack`, `messageBack` and `postBack` actions are available on `api` package, but `call`, `openUrl` and other platform-dependent actions are only available on `component` package
   - `activityMiddleware`, `attachmentMiddleware`, etc, now support arrays for multiple middleware

## [4.10.0] - 2020-08-18

### Breaking changes

- Due to the complexity, we are no longer exposing `<CarouselLayout>` and `<StackedLayout>`. Please use `<BasicTranscript>` to render the transcript instead.
- With the new activity grouping feature:
   - Customized avatar cannot be wider than `styleOptions.avatarSize`. If you want to show a wider avatar, please increase `styleOptions.avatarSize`.
   - If customized avatar is rendering `false`, bubble will still be padded to leave a gutter for the empty customized avatar. To hide gutter, please set `styleOptions.botAvatarInitials` and `styleOptions.userAvatarInitials` to falsy.
- Default bubble nub offset is set to `0`, previously `"bottom"` (or `-0`)
   - Previously, we put the bubble nub at the bottom while keeping the avatar on top. This is not consistent in the new layout.
- By default, we will group avatar per status group.
   - If you want to switch back to previous behaviors, please set `styleOptions.showAvatarInGroup` to `true`.
- Default `botAvatarInitials` and `userAvatarInitials` is changed to `undefined`, from `""` (empty string)
   - When the initials is `undefined`, no gutter space will be reserved for the avatar.
   - When the initials is `""` (empty string), gutter space will be reserved, but not avatar will be shown.
- [`useRenderActivity`](https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/tree/main/docs/HOOKS.md#userenderactivity) hook is being deprecated, in favor of the new [`useCreateActivityRenderer`](https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/tree/main/docs/HOOKS.md#usecreateactivityrenderer) hook.
- [`useRenderActivityStatus`](https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/tree/main/docs/HOOKS.md#userenderactivitystatus) hook is being deprecated, in favor of the new [`useCreateActivityStatusRenderer`](https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/tree/main/docs/HOOKS.md#usecreateactivitystatusrenderer) hook.
- [`useRenderAvatar`](https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/tree/main/docs/HOOKS.md#userenderavatar) hook is being deprecated, in favor of the new [`useCreateAvatarRenderer`](https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/tree/main/docs/HOOKS.md#usecreateavatarrenderer) hook.

#### Change in general middleware design

> This change will impact middleware which use downstream result.

Previously, when a middleware is called, they are passed with a single argument.

Starting from 4.10.0, multiple arguments could be passed to the middleware. All middleware should pass all arguments to the downstream middleware. This change enables future extension to the middleware pattern.

For example, a passthrough middleware was:

<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->
```js
() => next => card => next(card)
```
<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->

It should become:

<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->
```js
() => next => (...args) => next(...args)
```
<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->

This also applies to the render function returned by activity middleware. The previous signature was:

<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->
```js
() => next => card => children => next(card)(children)
```
<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->

It should become:

<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->
```js
() => next => (...setupArgs) => (...renderArgs) => next(...setupArgs)(...renderArgs)
```
<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->

> Note: Please read the following section for another change in the activity middleware signature for decorators.

#### Change in activity middleware

> This change will impact activity middleware used for decoration.

Previously, when an activity middleware hid a specific activity from view, it returned a function, `() => false`.

Starting in 4.10.0, if an activity needs to be hidden from the view, the middleware should return `false` instead of `() => false`. This change allows transcript to correctly group activities and ignore activities that are not in view.

To avoid the `TypeError: x is not a function` error, all middleware should be aware that downstream middleware may return `false` instead of a function.

For example, when an event activity is hidden from the view, the terminator middleware will now return `false`. All decoration middleware should check if the downstream result is `false` (or falsy value), and return the value as-is to upstream middleware.

Previously, a simple decorator was:

<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->
```js
() => next => (...setupArgs) => (...renderArgs) => {
  const render = next(...setupArgs);
  const element = render(...renderArgs);

  return element && <div>{element}</div>;
}
```
<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->

It should check the result from downstream middleware. If it is falsy, it should return as-is to the upstream middleware:

<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->
```js
() => next => (...setupArgs) => {
  const render = next(...setupArgs);

  return render && (...renderArgs) => {
    const element = render(...renderArgs);

    return element && <div>{element}</div>;
  };
}
```
<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->

## [4.8.0] - 2020-03-05

### Breaking changes

- Localization
   - `locale` prop: `zh-YUE` has been renamed to `yue` to conform with Unicode standard. `zh-YUE` will continue to work with warnings
   - Most strings have been validated and retranslated by the Microsoft localization team, with the exception of English (US), Egyptian Arabic, Jordan Arabic, and Chinese Yue
      - If the new strings are undesirable, please use the [`overideLocalizedStrings` prop](https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/tree/main/docs/LOCALIZATION.md#overriding-localization-strings) for customization
      - String IDs have been refreshed and now use a standard format
   - `useLocalize` and `useLocalizeDate` is deprecated. Please use `useLocalizer` and `useDateFormatter` instead
- Customizable typing indicator: data and hook related to typing indicator are being revamped in PR [#2912](https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/pull/2912)
   - `lastTypingAt` reducer is deprecated, use `typing` instead. The newer reducer contains typing indicator from the user
   - `useLastTypingAt()` hook is deprecated, use `useActiveTyping(duration?: number)` instead. For all typing information, pass `Infinity` to `duration` argument
- Customizable activity status: new `nextVisibleActivity` to control activity status visibility
   - Previously, we use `timestampClassName` to control if the activity should show or hide timestamp. The `timestampClassName` was added as a `class` attribute the DOM element which contains the timestamp
   - Today, `activity` and `nextVisibleActivity` are passed to the middleware, so the `activityRendererMiddleware` can decide whether the timestamp should be shown or not. For example, developers can group timestamp based on activity type

- Resolve [#1344](https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/issues/1344), by updating `README.md` and adding validation logic for `userID` props, in [#1447](https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/pull/1447)
   - If `userID` props present and also embedded in Direct Line token, will use the one from Direct Line token
   - If `userID` props present, they must be string and not prefixed with `dl_`, to avoid confusion between `userID` props and Direct Line embedded user ID (which is forgery-proof)
   - If `userID` props does not pass the validation test or not specified, Web Chat will use `default-user` instead
