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.
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.
