Studio Change Log

All notable changes to Rasa Studio will be documented in this page.

[1.2.0] - 2024-04-18#

Features#

• Conversation View: Helps users identify ways to improve their NLU and CALM assistants by reading real user conversations. With Conversation View, users can browse user conversations, apply filters to help surface conversations in need of analysis and then see a turn-by-turn breakdown of the conversation, along with relevant session and event data.

  

• NLU Triggers: Enable users to create intents in Modern assistants and use them as a method for triggering flows. Start node is used to provide a comprehensive view of what can initiate or hinder the start of a flow: CALM, NLU Triggers, or Links.

  

• NLU page in Modern mode: Bring NLU page into Modern assistants for managing intents, setting a precedent for future primitives management. Users can now create, edit, and delete intents in the NLU page.

  

Bugfixes#

• Fixed issue where the users were unable to export else node when it is in the end of the flow

• Fixed issues related to inconsistent state of Manage Slots modal

• Fixed issue where navigating back from a flow takes the user to the 1st page in the list of flow

• Other minor bug fixes

Improvements#

• Added an optional "Initial value" field to slots: Let users specify an initial value for any slot, just as they can already do in Rasa Pro.

  

• Users no longer have to type utter_ prefix when creating a message node

• Users no longer have to type action_ prefix when a creating a custom action node

• Other minor application improvements

[1.1.2] - 2024-03-27#

Bugfixes#

• Fixed issue where users were unable to update a slot under certain conditions

[1.1.1] - 2024-03-26#

Bugfixes#

• Removed the alphabetical sort of categories in the "Manage slots" modal
• Fixed issue where "Open the flow in a new tab" did not open the selected flow
• "Show variations" button in a message node is only displayed if there are message variations present
• Fixed issue which caused the creation of orphan nodes in flow builder
• Else condition nodes now do not allow assigning conditions to them
• Fixed issue where the flow builder was not listing all the flows while creating a link node
• Fixed issue related to invalid training data with wrong reference ID
• Studio now displays the affected message name in the error toast when an incorrect slot name is used in a message node
• Other minor bug fixes

[1.1.0] - 2024-03-18#

Features#

• Support the logic operators from the Pypred library that are currently missing in Studio

  • not: Negates a condition
  • =: Equal to
  • !=: Not equal to
  • matches: Uses regular expressions to match strings
  • not matches: Uses regular expressions to negate strings.
  

• Allow flow builders to assign slot values to slots directly in the flow without using custom actions or collecting user input. By doing so they can dictate the logic independently from user input. Slots can either be precomputed with a value or reset.

  

Improvements#

• Enable users to select or unselect flows for training directly from the flow list

  

• Other minor application improvements

Bugfixes#

• Annotator user is now prohibited from viewing options for editing NLU
• Chat history is now not shared between all assistants and user logins
• Fixed issue related to a race condition when changing categorical slots
• Improved error message when training is initiated with an invalid slot value and invalid config yaml
• Other minor bug fixes

• Users can now search flows by flow description

Improvements#

• Improved security of Studio container images. Studio now uses non-root user for running the application
• Simplified deployment time variables in the latest 0.4.0 Helm chart release
• Other minor application improvements

Bugfixes#

• Fixed issues connected to rasa studio download cli failure due to absence of slots and empty flows
• Other minor bug fixes

[1.0.3] - 2024-01-22#

Features#

• Users can now search for primitives by typing in the search bar

• Users can now use Azure OpenAI API with Studio to train their assistants. A new RASA_CONFIG_FILE environment variable can now be passed to the backend service to define the config.yaml file used for training the assistant

  Please note that the contents of the config.yaml file needs to be base64 encoded and passed to the new environment variable. The Studio backend service will decode the variable value and use it for training the assistant. Users can pass the Azure OpenAI API key to the existing OPENAI_API_KEY_SECRET_KEY environment variable

  The RASA_CONFIG_FILE values overrides the Advanced configuration options defined in the Create assistant Project model in the Studio web client

  Sample config.yaml file:

  Copy

  recipe: default.v1

  language: en

  pipeline:

  - name: LLMCommandGenerator
