Release Notes
The transition from Botpress to Botpress X was a huge game changer, and the latest one from Botpress X to Botpress Server (v11) is even bigger.
Note: Botpress Server is in public beta and is not ready for production usage just yet. We are working hard to stabalize the API and performances before the end of the year.
What's new in Botpress Server
There are 4 major differences between Botpress X (10.x) and Botpress Server (11.x).
- v11 is not an NPM library anymore – it is a standalone application. We distribute binaries of v11 for OSX, Windows, Linux and Docker on a daily basis.
- v11 now supports multiple bots natively – thus the naming of Botpress Server.
- v11 is a complete backend rewrite to TypeScript. We have made significant architectural changes that are not backward-compatible.
- We introduced our first version of Botpress Native NLU
With Botpress Server, we went back to the roots and completely rewrote the engine from scratch using Typescript. Multi-bot support was added natively. We are giving a much bigger place to modules, which can do a lot more than before. We expose a new SDK that makes it very easy to develop for Botpress.
