Rasa Enterprise Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file. This project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[1.1.3] - 2022-06-30

Bugfixes

  • #BT-8: Fixed migration migration_2021_07_07_ensure_existing_users_have_a_default__1a0c7b2d9ad2 which was failing on oracle.
  • #BT-3: Render a checkbox for any query that a user is entering into any intent filter, unless it fully matches the name of an existing checkbox.

[1.1.2] - 2022-06-09

Bugfixes

  • #SB-106: Use default role from UI for new SSO users if no SAML_DEFAULT_ROLE environment is set.

    Previously, "tester"" was always assigned as the default role if the environment variable was not set. This behaviour changed now, defaulting to the default role set in the UI.

    The environment variable SAML_DEFAULT_ROLE, if present, will continue to overwrite any default role set in the UI.

  • #SB-113: Allow SSO username to match Rasa username during initial username setting.

  • #SB-114: Assign permissions for action creation to domain permissions. Ensured action creation is only shown if permissions are available.

  • #SB-115: Prevent defaults slots from getting added to the domain file when stories are created.

  • #SB-118: Fixed failing user deletion if user is owning ressources.

  • #SB-90: Ensure the default action to extract slots is called in interactive learning mode of the UI.

    This resolves an inconsistency, where this action was called in interactive learning on the CLI but was not executed in the UI.

[1.1.1] - 2022-05-18

Bugfixes

  • #SB-95: Sanic throws Error when processing a SSO authentication. Fixed regression after updating sanic dependency.

[1.0.1] - 2021-12-17

Bugfixes

  • #6648: Fix very long messages cannot be inserted into the database.

[1.0.0] - 2021-12-02

Deprecations and Removals

  • #4919: Drop native windows support for Rasa Enterprise (local mode). Use Docker to run local mode instead.
  • #5628: Data tags contained in the following endpoints will now no longer include the conversations and message_logs properties:
    • POST /projects/<project_id>/logs/<log_id:int>/tags
    • POST /conversations/<conversation_id:string>/tags
    • GET /conversations/<conversation_id:string>/tags
    • GET /data_tags
  • #6756: The scope of the public Rasa X and Rasa Enterprise APIs have been reduced in order to ensure consistency and quality of documentation across all endpoints. New endpoints will be added to the public API in the future as product development advances. The documentation for the currently available endpoints can be found at https://rasa.com/docs/rasa-x/pages/http-api.

Features

  • #4804: Added functionality to responses 'Save' button which is disabled now when input is empty.

  • #4876: Modified the way the initial administrator user is created on server startup.

    When Rasa X starts, it will attempt to create an initial administrator user. The username of this user is admin by default. This value can be controlled via the RASA_X_USERNAME environment variable. In Server mode, if one or more users already exist in the database, Rasa X will not attempt to create the initial administrator user.

    When Rasa X starts, it will also attempt to ensure that the initial administrator user has a password assigned to it. Assuming that the user exists, Rasa X will do this in different ways, depending on the context:

    • On Local mode, the initial administrator user's password will always get reset to a randomly-generated one, unless the user specifies a value via the RASA_X_PASSWORD environment variable.
    • On Server mode, and if Enterprise is not activated, Rasa X will assign the user a randomly-generated one (or one specified via the mentioned environment variable) only and only if the user has no password set previously.
    • On Server mode, and if Enterprise is activated, Rasa X will assign the user the password specified by the mentioned environment variable, only and only if the user has no password set previously. If the environment variable is not present, and the user does not have a password, no password assignment will be done and a warning will be shown on the logs.

    The me user will no longer be created during startup, and users are expected to use admin instead. However, existing me users in databases will not be modified or deleted by this update.

  • #3696: Users may be deleted while the Talk to your Bot conversations created by that user can remain. Removed the created_by foreign key constraint in the conversations table to achieve this.

    Added a new boolean query parameter deleteCreatedConversations (default: false) to the Rasa X HTTP API endpoint for deleting users (DELETE /api/users/<username>). The parameter controls whether conversations created by the user that is being deleted in the Talk to your Bot screen should be deleted as well.

    Added a new optional command-line argument to the rasa_x_commands.py script called --delete-created-conversations. If set, the conversations created in the Talk to your Bot screen by the user that is being deleted will be deleted as well.

    The full command for deleting users and their associated Talk to your Bot conversations is

[0.29.0] - 2020-06-08

Deprecations and Removals

  • #2671: Deprecated the distinct query parameter for the GET /projects/<project_id>/logs API endpoint. Rasa X already de-duplicates the message logs which has the same effect as using the distinct parameter.

Improvements

  • #2394: Changed the behaviour of two parameters (filters) for GET /conversations endpoint:

    • maximumNluConfidence and maximumConfidence now return conversations with ANY (i.e. at least one) intent/action that has a confidence <= specified value. In other words, minimumConfidence (param) <= minimumConfidence (of conversation) <= maximumConfidence (param).

    This change makes these filters much more useful for reviewing failed conversations than before.

  • #2608: Update roles and permissions to make it possible for annotator and tester to use Rasa Enterprise and have conversations.

    Add UI permission checks to show certain UI components only if the user has access to them.

  • #2638: Added coverage for Rasa UI and moved Alert component into Rasa UI

  • #2655: Moved Heading component into Rasa UI Improve consistency between Rasa UI components Improve useMediaQuery hook

  • #2671: Improved the performance of the NLU inbox.

  • #2672: Improved the performance of the GET /projects/<project_id>/git_repositories/<repository_id>/status endpoint.

  • #2758: Un-deprecate the GET /conversation/{id} endpoint and add format query parameter to it. The previously suggested /tracker endpoint is blocked by AdBlockers. From the users perspective that would looks like conversation is not updated (is empty), because the polling was blocked. Now the only possible (and default) value of format is full_conversation, which returns a conversation tracker in exactly the same format as /tracker endpoint.

  • #2782: Added sort_by and sort_order parameters to the GET /projects/<project_id>/logs endpoint.

  • #2802: Clicking on a message in the conversations screen will now open and close the conversation inspector. Close button added to the conversation inspector. Re-introduce the annotate highlighter button beside a user message on the conversations screen.

  • #2602: Fix a bug which caused response names to be dumped to the intents section of the domain file.

  • #2685: Update conversation fetching to support cases when created_by is not specified.

  • #2724: Fixed a bug which caused that releases of the Quick-Installation were overwritten by older minor releases of Rasa X.

  • #2727: Fix guest conversation screen flickering.

  • #2776: Fix a bug where message logs would always reference the oldest model in the Rasa X database. Message logs no longer reference a model by ID, as models can be deleted. Instead, message logs now reference the model contained in the message’s parse_data. If this is unavailable, the model that’s currently marked as ‘production’ is used. To achieve this, a new column model is added to the message_log table. The previous column model_id and a foreign key constraint to the model table are removed.

    Existing message logs were not associated with the model that was actually used. A model named ‘unavailable’ is assigned to existing logs in the migration.

    The suggestions returned from GET /projects/<project_id>/logs/<log_hash> and GET /projects/<project_id>/logs no longer contain the project_id and team keys.

  • #2787: Fixed a problem where Rasa X displayed and used an old version of the Domain file. This could e.g. lead to failing model trainings.

  • #2875: Fixed a problem which occurred when using Integrated Version Control and switching from an invalid project layout to a valid one. When changes are discarded Rasa X will now no longer try to inject the old (invalid) state, but will instead switch to the latest state of the connected remote branch.

  • #2903: Fix for “Talk to your bot” conversations not being shown up on “Conversations” screen.

Miscellaneous internal changes

  • #2850: Make CI support branch names that contain /

  • #2795: Fix the PUT /projects/<project_id>/git_repositories/<repository_id>/branches/<branch_name> endpoint to only return once the injection of repository data into the Rasa X database has been completed. This fixes a bug in Integrated Version Control where the new state of the database wasn’t immediately reflected in the UI after discarding changes.

  • #2800: Fixed a bug that allowed adding duplicated responses.

  • #2803: The PUT /api/chatToken endpoint now returns 400 instead of 500 when the bot_name or description fields have an invalid length. The maximum length for both fields is 255 characters.

Miscellaneous internal changes

  • #2801: Merge the migrations from the 0.24.x role-based access control port.

[0.28.3] - 2020-05-12

Bugfixes

  • #2704: Fix a JWT security issue and move the generation of conversation_id for guest conversations to the backend side. This security fix is important, so we recommend all clients to upgrade as soon as possible.

  • #2726: Don’t show the ‘power user’ toast after the user closes it with the X icon.

Miscellaneous internal changes

  • #2646: Telemetry tracking can now be enabled for Rasa Enterprise by setting the environment variable METRICS_CONSENT to true. Note that an external EventService has to be restarted for changes to take effect.

[0.28.2] - 2020-05-07

Improvements

  • #2692: Make the check for finished migrations at the startup of the event service more reliable.

Bugfixes

  • #2703: Add a missing permission check to allow guest conversations.

[0.28.1] - 2020-05-05

Improvements

  • #2608: Update roles and permissions to make it possible for annotator and tester to use Rasa Enterprise and have conversations.

    Add UI permission checks to show certain UI components only if the user has access to them.

Bugfixes

  • #2662: Fixes bug where label text was not readable in the Manage Tags menu.

  • #2669: Fixed a problem during the injection of Rasa training data in Rasa X 0.28. This happened when using Integrated Version Control or when using the Rasa X PyPI package.

  • #2670: Fixed a bug that was preventing the Users view and table to load properly

  • #2685: Update conversation fetching to support cases when created_by is not specified.

[0.28.0] - 2020-04-30

Deprecations and Removals

  • #2489: The endpoints /templates and /templates/<response_id> got renamed to /responses and /responses/<response_id>. The old endpoints are deprecated and will be removed in a future version of Rasa X.

Improvements

  • #1530: Removed the environment variable LOCAL_MODE. The config variable LOCAL_MODE is now set dependent on a start via local.main (in general, this corresponds to a pip installation) or server.main (in general, this corresponds to a Docker Compose or Kubernetes installation).

  • #1945: In Rasa Open Source, templates in the domain were renamed to responses. To follow these changes, template is now renamed to response everywhere in Rasa X.

    This has the following implications for API requests:

    • For PUT /domain: new request parameter store_responses to replace store_templates.

    • For GET /responseGroups: new request parameter response_name to replace template.

    • For GET /templates: new request parameter response_name to replace template. Also, the field name for a fields query changed accordingly.

    For each of these, the old parameters are deprecated and will be removed in a future version of Rasa X.

    Also, all API requests previously returning a template including a field template now return a response including a field response_name.

  • #2322: Make it possible to train models while using retrieval actions.

    This feature requires Rasa 1.10 or higher.

  • #2332: The usage of sudo in the Quick-Installation was reduced. This means that any interaction with the Kubernetes clusters after the installation (e.g. through kubectl or helm) don’t require the usage of sudo anymore.

  • #2374: Reduced the amount of database commits when saving new conversation events. This increases the throughput from Rasa Open Source to Rasa X.

    Revisited the error handling when saving conversation events to the database in Rasa X. Errors are now handled centrally which avoids storing events partially.

  • #2435: Update POST /models endpoint to return the uploaded model metadata and status code 201 in the case of success, and codes 400 or 409 in the case of failure.

  • #2438: Models can now be uploaded from the UI

  • #2519: Attachment file names are now displayed in a separate conversation bubble.

  • #2520: All Rasa X Docker images are now using Python 3.7 instead of Python 3.6.

    Replaced Duckling image with version 0.1.6.3 which has a much smaller image size and fixes security issues.

  • #2605: Added a prompt to gather feedback from power users.

  • #2509: Bisected frontend codebase into Rasa UI and Rasa Frontend.

  • #2634: Upgrade tippyjs/react to v4 and this tippy.js to v6. Abstracted it away entirely so that tippy is only imported in a single file. All popups are now opened declaratively rather than being non-controlled.

Bugfixes

  • #1875: Fix the way new data gets fetched and combined with the already existing data to avoid duplicated entries in tables.

  • #2342: Removed “unknown intent” warnings for intents that are present in the domain. Previously, such warnings always occured when starting Rasa X and when adding, updating or saving stories.

  • #2437: Show all interactive conversations in addition to guest conversations on “Conversations” screen.

  • #2523: Rasa Enterprise: Add missing permissions for tester and annotator user roles to allow users with these roles to fetch models, responses, and stories.

  • #2565: Fix an issue with a currently active model being not loaded on “Interactive Learning” screen when there are more than one model available and the active one is not the first one.

Improved Documentation

  • #2272: Added section to Connect an Existing Deployment on how to expose the RabbitMQ port: Exposing the RabbitMQ Port.

  • #2332: Clarified that customizations to deployments with the Quick-Installation can be applied to both, new and existing, deployments by (re)running the script.

  • #2380: Describe the additional steps required to run Rasa X on Windows and MacOS with the server quick-install installation.

  • #2499:

Miscellaneous internal changes

  • #2386: Ensure telemetry events are being sent asynchronously in the event service as well.

    Fix Task was destroyed but it is pending! warning message appearing when exiting Rasa X using Ctrl-C (local mode).

  • #2526: Update license location and make it match the printed location.

  • #2571: Update the CI to fail if poetry.lock is not up-to-date.

  • #2582: Added user_groups property to the GET /api/telemetry endpoint.

  • #2583: Show a warning instead of an error if unable to get conversation tests.

  • #2584: Replaced template with response in the UI to follow the renaming we did everywhere else in Rasa X.

  • #2601: The nginx container no longer forwards requests to /app to the custom action server. Note that the communication between Rasa Open Source and the action server is not affected by this and will continue to work as usual.

  • #2606: Lower log level to debug when retrieving the used Rasa Open Source version. This avoids misleading errors when Rasa Open Source hasn’t finished its initialization phase.

[0.27.8] - 2020-05-13

Bugfixes

  • #2704: Fix a JWT security issue and move the generation of conversation_id for guest conversations to the backend side. This security fix is important, so we recommend all clients to upgrade as soon as possible.

[0.27.7] - 2020-04-23

Improvements

  • #2592: Improved performance of the /api/health endpoint.

[0.27.6] - 2020-04-20

Improvements

[0.27.5] - 2020-04-14

Bugfixes

  • #2473: Fixed failing database migrations on Oracle DB. Connections to Oracle databases are now established with the exclude_tablespaces=[] SQLAlchemy option. Previously, Oracle tables that were created by the SYSTEM or SYSAUX users would not be retrieved, leading to errors during database migration such as

    sqlalchemy.exc.DatabaseError: (cx_Oracle.DatabaseError) ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
  • #2479: Fixed wrong annotation states of the Integrated Version Control when uploading a model to Rasa X. Uploading models won’t affect the status of Integrated Version Control anymore.

Improved Documentation

[0.27.4] - 2020-04-02

Improvements

  • #2403: Support for PostgreSQL schemas. Rasa X accesses schemas defined by the POSTGRESQL_SCHEMA environment variable.

    In order to use a non-public schema for both the Rasa X and the Rasa tracker store database connections, the POSTGRESQL_SCHEMA environment variable has to be set on the rasa-x, event-service and rasa-production services.

    The schema is added to the connection string option’s -csearch_path key, i.e. -options=-csearch_path=<SCHEMA_NAME> (see https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/contrib-dblink-connect.html for more details). As before, if no POSTGRESQL_SCHEMA environment variable is defined, Rasa X uses the database’s default schema (public).

    The schema has to exist in the database before connecting, i.e. it needs to have been created with

    CREATE SCHEMA schema_name;

Bugfixes

  • #2437: Show all interactive conversations in addition to guest conversations on “Conversations” screen.

[0.27.3] - 2020-03-31

Bugfixes

  • #2422: Fixed bug where duplicate responses could be added using the POST /templates and PUT /templates endpoints. This was previously fixed in version 0.25.0 but re-introduced in version 0.27.0.

[0.27.2] - 2020-03-30

Improvements

  • #2416: The POST /conversations endpoint returns a ConversationCreationFailed error (code 422: Unprocessable Entity) if the tracker for the requested conversation ID cannot be fetched from the Rasa server. Previously this resulted in a 500: Internal Server Error.

Bugfixes

  • #2393: Fixes “Correct this” button on “Interactive Learning” screen.

  • #2412: Fix conversation fetching to get all conversations instead of only non-interactive ones.

Miscellaneous internal changes

  • #2410: Fix an issue with frontend build not being included to PyPi builds.

[0.27.1] - 2020-03-27

Improvements

  • #2332: The usage of sudo in the Quick-Installation was reduced. This means that any interaction with the Kubernetes clusters after the installation (e.g. through kubectl or helm) don’t require the usage of sudo anymore.

Improved Documentation

  • #2332: Clarified that customizations to deployments with the Quick-Installation can be applied to both, new and existing, deployments by (re)running the script.

[0.27.0] - 2020-03-26

Features

  • #2054: Added possibility to filter conversations by NLU (intents) and Core (actions) confidences.

    • Added parameters minimumConfidence, maximumConfidence, minimumNluConfidence, maximumNluConfidence to the GET /conversations endpoint
  • #2312: Extend GET /version endpoint with information about available Rasa X updates.

    The information about available updates is retrieved from the Rasa X Docker Hub release tags.

  • #2320: Add UI support for split Core and NLU confidence filters.

  • #2363: Added keyboard shortcuts (‘j’, ‘k’, ‘s’ and ‘d’) for navigating rows and handling data in the NLU Inbox table.

Improvements

  • #1431: Make it possible to dynamically add/remove hints and fix the issue with inapplicable hints being shown. Also save the information about shown hints to the database in order to not show them again.

  • #2020: Rasa X now dumps changed training data asynchronously to disk. This means that changes are no longer reflected on disk immediately, but with a delay of at most 60 seconds. This change improves the performance of annotations.

  • #2023: Improved the performance of copying conversations to interactive learning by reducing the number of requests between the UI and the Rasa X backend.

  • #2186: Modified standard 500 internal server response so that it is more consistent with other error responses in the API.

  • #2233: Add a new POST /tests endpoint to save conversation tests to a file. This endpoint requires the tests.create permission, and this permission is granted to all administrators and annotators by default.

    The default file for tests is conversation_tests.md in tests directory but both directory and file names can be modified (DEFAULT_E2E_TESTS_DIR and DEFAULT_E2E_TEST_FILE_PATH are the corresponding environment variables).

  • #2240: Update telemetry for improved model testing:

    • Add num_e2e_tests field to Status telemetry event.

    • Add entity:e2eStory:opened telemetry event.

  • #2245: Notify users when training a model is skipped because no changes were found.

  • #2253: Whether or not a conversation is considered to be in training data is determined based on whether any of its constituent conversation sessions are entirely in training data. A conversation session is considered to be in training data if all of its predicted actions were predicted by a memoization policy ( Memoization Policy or Augmented Memoization Policy).

    In order to store the information based on individual sessions, the conversation_session table receives a new column in_training_data. New entries in the conversation_session table are now created based on incoming session_start events. This was done previously based on a period of user inactivity of 48 hours. This aligns the previous Rasa X concept of a conversation session with the session concept in Rasa Open Source introduced in Rasa 1.7.4.

  • #2264: Index conversation events by flags to improve filter performance

  • #2265: Truncate long filter pills and show full content in associated tooltip.

  • #2279: The guest link generated from Share your bot section has been improved to work better on mobile screens.

  • #2281: Restrict intents returned by the API to only those that appear in the domain

  • #2292: PikaEventConsumer accepts a queues argument to allow supplying multiple queues in endpoints.yml. If this is the case, the first queue will be consumed. The consumer continues to support the queue argument. If queues is supplied, it takes precedences over queue.

  • #2317: Move the “create new sentence” UI to the “training data” screen.

  • #2379: When connecting to external channels on /webhooks/{channel}/webhook, it is no longer required to add the /core/ prefix to the endpoint. Nginx will route http://<HOST>/webhooks/ requests to the rasa-production container.

Bugfixes

  • #2115: Response names are no longer added to the domain’s actions. This is because since Rasa 1.7.0, utterances need not be specified in the domain’s actions.

    The POST /templates, PUT /templates and PUT /templates/<id> endpoints return status code 422 if the supplied response names do not start with the utter_ prefix (rasa.core.constants.UTTER_PREFIX).

  • #2302: Fixed problems with private key permissions that were too open when using Integrated Version Control. Rasa X also re-applies the required permissions in case they were changed over the lifetime of the deployment.

  • #2388: Fix the links in the Conversations screen help tooltips.

Improved Documentation

  • #2287: Remove invalid instructions for running helm init from the Helm Chart Installation documentation. helm init is not longer required since Helm version 3.

Miscellaneous internal changes

  • #2294: Changed SQLAlchemy relationship loading to joined eager loading for the nlu_training_data table’s relationship with the nlu_training_data_entity table.

  • #2307: Update Github Actions to fix the documentation publishing issue.

  • #2381: Bump the minimum required version of Rasa Open Source to 1.9 due to changes in the Rasa Open Source endpoints.

[0.26.4] - 2020-05-13

Bugfixes

  • #2704: Fix a JWT security issue and move the generation of conversation_id for guest conversations to the backend side. This security fix is important, so we recommend all clients to upgrade as soon as possible.

[0.26.3] - 2020-03-24

Bugfixes

  • #2362: Fixed migration error happening with some slot values on PostgreSQL.

[0.26.2] - 2020-03-23

Bugfixes

  • #1951: Responses with quick replies can now be edited from the response screen.

  • #2327: Fixed migration error happening with very large slot values on PostgreSQL. The error message displayed in these cases was similar to:

    sqlalchemy.exc.OperationalError: (psycopg2.errors.ProgramLimitExceeded) index row size 3176 exceeds maximum 2712 for index "conversation_slot_value_index"
  • #5313: Integrated Version Control no longer changes the order of the entity synonyms when dumping them. They are now dumped in the same order as they were inserted.

Miscellaneous internal changes

  • #2266: The API now returns a status code 201 when creating entity synonyms via POST /projects/{project_id}/synonyms.

  • #2339: Lowered the telemetry HTTP request timeout for blocking contexts.

[0.26.1] - 2020-03-13

Improved Documentation

  • #2287: Remove invalid instructions for running helm init from the Helm Chart Installation documentation. helm init is no longer required since Helm version 3.

[0.26.0] - 2020-03-06

Deprecations and Removals

  • #1832: Deprecated GET /conversations/{conversation_id} to avoid ambiguity in the naming, since it actually returns Rasa OSS tracker of a conversation

    Introduced GET /conversations/{conversation_id}/tracker as an alternative to the endpoint mentioned above

Features

  • #1634: Added UI for creating and managing conversation tags

  • #1636: Added more endpoints for conversation tags:

    • Added GET /conversations/<id>/tags endpoint

    • Added DELETE /conversations/<id>/tags/<id> endpoint

  • #1831: Introduced DELETE /conversations/<id> endpoint

    Now users can completely remove conversations with specified IDs using the REST API.

  • #2000: Add endpoint GET /projects/{project_id}/git_repositories/public_ssh_key to retrieve a public SSH key generated by Rasa X.

    When connecting a Git repository to Rasa X, it’s now possible to specify a field use_generated_ssh_keys instead of providing an SSH key. Integrated Version Control will then use a generated SSH key to authenticate with the Git server. To make this work you have to store the public SSH key from the /projects/{project_id}/git_repositories/public_ssh_key endpoint at your Git server.

  • #2034: Added a new Quick-Installation to deploy Rasa X on a single Linux machine using an embedded Kubernetes cluster or with an existing Kubernetes cluster.

  • #2051: Added new GET /conversations/inputChannels endpoint.

    Added new input_channels parameter to the GET /conversations endpoint.

  • #2086: Added a new slots parameter to GET /conversations. This parameter allows users to filter conversations by slot values.

    Added new GET /conversations/slotNames and GET /conversations/slotValues endpoints.

  • #2119: Users can now set up Integrated version control from the UI by adding a generated ssh key as a deploy key in their repository.

  • #2155: Add the ability to filter by whether or not a Conversation’s story appeared in the training data at the time it was predicted Restore the ability to filter Conversations by maximum NLU confidence

  • #2163: Create tab in conversations filter panel for filtering by slots.

  • #2188: Add UI support for filtering Conversations by input channel (including the logged in user’s own Tester and Interactive Learning conversations)

Improvements

  • #1716: Return HTTP status code 201 at endpoint POST /projects/<project_id>/models/jobs if no new model was trained because a model with the same training data and configuration already exists.

  • #1764: Handle cases when EventService fails to add events to the database — keep these events in memory and try saving them again after a successful attempt to save another incoming event to the database.

    The limit of pending events is set to 1000 to avoid excessive memory usage.

  • #2009: Added a composite unique constraint on the conversation_id, timestamp and type_name columns of the conversation_event table. This is to ensure that events that are exported repeatedly using rasa export are not duplicated in the database.

    note

    Duplicate events in the converation_event table are deleted as part of the migration. Duplicate events are determined based on having more than one entry with the same conversation_id, timestamp and type_name values.

  • #2072: The validation of the Rasa X domain is skipped when uploading stories. This prevents Rasa X from refusing to save stories when the domain is problematic.

  • #2145: Improve rendering performance on the “Annotate new data” tab

  • #2146: The required Rasa Open Source version was updated to 1.8.0 or greater. This release is no longer compatible with Rasa Open Source 1.7 or older.

  • #2166: Sort intents in the filter and intent dropdowns on the training data tab

  • #2172: Re-introduce conditional rendering of text editor on NLU Training screens for performance benefits.

  • #2217: Remove checkboxes from multi-select as they do not function as expected.

Bugfixes

  • #1969: Add a check if files exist when doing synchronisation.

  • #2047: Fixed ValueError that occurred when importing data with synonyms where a mapping value was equal to the entity’s synonym value.

  • #2058: Fix a bug in Integrated Version Control where uploaded lookup tables were referenced with their absolute path by the NLU training files. This led to problems when training a Rasa Open Source model in the project directory since the lookup table files could not be found.

  • #2085: Prevent UI allowing user to enter an already existing sentence into the training data using the enter key.

  • #2087: Prevent ShareYourBot from overwriting an existing Rasa X login session Prevent the main Rasa X UI from allowing login with a ShareYourBot session

  • #2090: Fix padding and text styling in conversation sidebar.

  • #2092: Fix the entity annotation of e2e stories when a line contains two or more entities.

  • #2216: Fix an error when running the Docker Compose Install Script from within the Rasa X directory. Earlier the task backwards compatible credentials failed when doing this.

Improved Documentation

  • #1798: Extend and improve the documentation for the usage of the Rasa X Helm chart.

  • #2070: New docs section in ‘Connecting a Rasa deployment’ explaining how to use rasa export to migrate conversations from Rasa to Rasa X. See 1. Import Existing Conversations from Rasa Open Source. This section now includes the existing section ‘Connect a Live Rasa Deployment’.

    note

    rasa export requires rasa>=1.8.0.

Miscellaneous internal changes

  • #2024: Move the Rasa X CI from Travis to GitHub actions.

  • #2027: Removed script to migrate Rasa X databases from MongoDB to SQL.

  • #2032: Remove setuptools_scm to manage versions manually.

  • #2063: Add telemetry event Conversation Tagged that is sent when a conversation is tagged.

  • #2125: Add telemetry event Conversations Imported for conversations that are imported originating from a rasa export call.

  • #2170: Apply flake8 linting to the project.

[0.25.3] - 2020-05-14

[0.25.2] - 2020-02-14

Features

  • #1907: Added support for multi-line text blocks on Annotate new data and Training Data screen

  • #1987: Added the ability to filter Conversations by Tags in the UI

Bugfixes

  • #1969: Add a check if files exist when doing syncronisation.

  • #2012: Fixed an error happening while loading conversations containing conversation events with an empty metadata field. This problem led to conversations not being loaded.

Improved Documentation

  • #2005: Added documentation on custom database setups, including Oracle.

[0.25.1] - 2020-02-07

Features

  • #1976: Added environment variable SANIC_REQUEST_MAX_SIZE_IN_BYTES to set max allowable request size for requests sent to Rasa X server. Default set to 800 MB, up from sanic’s default of 100MB.

Bugfixes

  • #1983: Fixed issue with two DB migration that were skipped in 0.25.0 upgrade.

    This includes two empty migration for those who upgrade from 0.24.x, and two new migrations on top for those upgrading Rasa X from 0.25.0

Miscellaneous internal changes

  • #1978: Set default docker-compose values for RASA_X_USERNAME and RASA_X_PASSWORD to empty strings to eliminate the warning of these variables not being set.

[0.25.0] - 2020-02-05

Deprecations and Removals

  • #1815: Login button for enterprise ID removed from Community Edition.

  • #1826: GET /conversations no longer returns unflagged_messages or flagged_messages. GET /conversations/<id> no longer returns flagged_messages.

Features

  • #1636: Added support for conversation tags endpoints:

    • GET /conversations now returns list of assigned tags

    • Added tags_any parameter to GET /conversations

    • Added POST /conversations/<id>/tags endpoint

    • Added DELETE /conversations/<id>/tags/<id> endpoint

    • Added GET /conversations/tags endpoint

    Now users can assign/delete arbitrary tags to conversations via REST API.

  • #1750: Allow users to specify RASA_X_USERNAME and RASA_X_PASSWORD to create admin user after Rasa X is started for the first time.

  • #1826: GET /conversations/<id> now includes a has_flagged_messages field, replacing the flagged_messages list.

  • #1870: Updated Conversations filter UI to new, extensible design

  • #1898: End-to-end stories can now be generated from the conversations screen.

  • #1953: Added ability to view Conversation Tags to ConversationInfo and Client components

Improvements

  • #1859: Whenever NLU training data is changed, Rasa X will now only dump the updated files instead of dumping the whole training data.

Bugfixes

  • #1765: Make it possible to use any branch names including the ones containing slashes (“/”).

  • #1808: Make sure users are unable to create duplicated responses.

  • #1906: Fixed bugs in the quick installation script pertaining to python3-distutils and distutils.util on Ubuntu 16.04 and Debian 9.

  • #1965: Fixed bug where Integrated Version Control pushed to the target branch and to a different branch at the same time.

    Fixed bug where Integrated Version Control could not push changes due the lack of a configured Git identity. Commits by Rasa X will now use the author name Rasa X and the email rasa-x@rasa.com.

Improved Documentation

  • #1833: Made runtime telemetry configuration local to telemetry.py.

    Made runtime telemetry configuration safe to read and write from different processes.

  • #1851: Removed Helm chart from repository and switch CI to use open-sourced Helm chart from https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa-x-helm.

  • #1869: Rasa X now always uses the default multiprocessing context to start new processes.

  • #1889: Made main process and event service share the same telemetry configuration.

  • #1930: Pin the Ansible version to <2.9 in the Rasa X installation script to avoid an error when installing Docker as part of this script.

[0.24.8] - 2020-05-15

Bugfixes

  • #2704: Fix a JWT security issue and move the generation of conversation_id for guest conversations to the backend side. This security fix is important, so we recommend all clients to upgrade as soon as possible.

Miscellaneous internal changes

  • #1897: Stop tracking Git changes pushed events which were caused as part of probing if we have the right permissions for the given repository.

  • #1924: Use SQLEventBroker instead of deprecated SQLProducer when running the Rasa X PyPI package.

  • #1931: Pin the Ansible version to <2.9 in the Rasa X installation script to avoid an error when installing Docker as part of this script.

[0.24.6] - 2020-01-27

Bugfixes

  • #1888: Fixed bug which prevented discarding the Rasa model configuration when using Integrated Version Control.

Miscellaneous internal changes

  • #1888: Fix wrong calculation of lookup table entries in the telemetry status events.

[0.24.5] - 2020-01-27

Miscellaneous internal changes

  • #1880: Add server uptime to the Status telemetry event.

  • #1883: Improved messages logged while waiting for migrations to finish; they should now more accurately describe the process.

[0.24.4] - 2020-01-23

Bugfixes

  • #1872: Sequences on tables entity_synonym and entity_synonym_value are missing. An explicit declaration of sequences is required for Oracle DB.

    The event_service when forked as a subprocess now waits for migrations to finish before accessing the database.

[0.24.3] - 2020-01-22

Bugfixes

  • #1857: The index name nlu_train_data_ent_orig_val_idx on table nlu_training_data_entity exceeds the length of 30 characters allowed by Oracle DB 11.2. The index was renamed to nlu_train_dat_ent_orig_val_idx.

Improved Documentation

[0.24.2] - 2020-01-21

Bugfixes

  • #1793: Rasa X no longer serves models to Rasa servers which once were compatible but now are incompatible.

Improved Documentation

  • #1796: Added missing documentation for the tracker debug dumps that can be requested from the GET /conversations/<id> endpoint. A JSON dump of the tracker is returned as a file attachment if the Accept: application/json header is specified. A debug story dump of the tracker is returned as a file attachment if the Accept: text/markdown header is specified.

    Removed outdated documentation for the GET /conversations/<id>/events endpoint.

  • #1817: Added documentation on connecting an existing Rasa deployment to Rasa X for viewing conversations

Miscellaneous internal changes

  • #1824: Use towncrier for changelog management.

[0.24.1] - 2020-01-09

Bugfixes

  • Updated default value of RASA_X_DEMO_VERSION in .env to 0.24.0.

[0.24.0] - 2020-01-07

Features

  • Synonyms can now be managed from the UI under the Training.

  • API endpoint to check if telemetry is enabled or not: GET /telemetry.

  • API endpoint to disable telemetry in server mode: DELETE /telemetry. The Rasa X server must be restarted in order for the changes to take effect.

  • Training a model is now possible with the api_token query parameter as authentication.

  • Added an ingress to the Rasa X Helm chart.

  • Added a readiness probe to the Rasa X deployment in the Rasa X Helm chart.

  • Added a query parameter mapped_value to GET /api/projects/default/synonyms which allows querying for synonyms which have this value mapped to them.

  • Query parameter exclude_leading_action_session_start to API endpoint GET /conversations/<conversation_id>. If True, a leading event ActionExecuted ("action_session_start") will be excluded from the list of events in the tracker. The parameter defaults to False.

Bugfixes

  • Errors appearing in the log when telemetry was enabled but no internet connection was available.

  • additionalChannelCredentials in the Rasa X Helm chart are now correctly indented.

  • Stories, deleted from the UI, will also be deleted from the filesystem.

  • Polling error bar on conversations screen no longer pushes conversation past window break.

Improvements

  • In server mode, telemetry is now enabled by default. Existing configurations of telemetry via the METRICS_CONSENT and UUID environment variables will be respected if they are present. New installations of Rasa X using the server deployment options will not configure this environment variable anymore. Telemetry configuration options will now be stored in the SQL database. New API endpoints have been added to make management of this configuration easier. No changes have been made to local mode (i.e. the rasa x command) telemetry.

  • The Annotate Entities popup can also handle synonyms now.

  • The Rasa X Helm chart now uses subcharts for postgresql, redis, and rabbitmq. It is recommended to create a backup of the database and the models before upgrading. Please revisit the configuration values for the chart since some of them changed.

  • Using Duckling in the Rasa X Helm chart is now optional.

  • You can now use an external volume claim for the Rasa X deployment in the Rasa X Helm chart.

  • The lockstore database used by the rasa deployments in the Rasa X Helm chart can now be configured with .Values.rasa.lockStoreDatabase

  • User messages are no longer rendered as Markdown

  • Rasa X only searches for new local models during startup. Models trained in Rasa X or uploaded via the API will show up right away as before.

Deprecations and Removals

  • Removed logger container from docker-compose deployment. Logs can still be viewed using the docker-compose logs command.

  • In case credentials are not specified in the Rasa X Helm chart they are not longer auto-generated to avoid problems when upgrading the chart. Please override the default values or use external secrets to provide the credentials.

[0.23.6] - 2020-01-07

Bugfixes

  • Pin sanic patch version instead of minor version. Fixes sanic _run_request_middleware() error.

Features

  • Query parameter exclude_leading_action_session_start to API endpoint GET /conversations/<conversation_id>. If True, a leading event ActionExecuted ("action_session_start") will be excluded from the list of events in the tracker. The parameter defaults to False.

[0.23.5] - 2019-12-18

Bugfixes

  • Fixed problem when using another target branch than master with the Integrated Version Control Feature which led to Rasa X checking out master and to problems when discarding changes.

  • Support for conversation sessions in interactive learning.

[0.23.4] - 2019-12-12

Bugfixes

  • The endpoints.yml event broker config is only loaded when run in a Docker environment.

  • Added python3-distutils to the install.sh script to resolve dependency issues.

  • Pin multidict dependency to 4.6.1 to prevent sanic from breaking, see https://github.com/huge-success/sanic/issues/1729 .

Improvements

  • The GET /conversations/<id> and GET /conversations/<id>/messages now include Rasa events metadata in their responses. The event metadata always includes the Rasa X database ID for the event.

[0.23.3] - 2019-12-06

Features

  • All responses to CORS preflight requests now set the Access-Control-Max-Age header to 30 minutes (this can be configured by using the SANIC_ACCESS_CONTROL_MAX_AGE environment variable).

  • POST /projects/<project_id>/synonyms/<synonym_id no longer throws an error in case values are mapped which equal the synonym they are mapped to.

  • Upgraded postgres container to 11.3.0

[0.23.2] - 2019-11-29

Features

  • Added the ability to create SAML users on the command line using the rasa_x_commands.py script. The command is sudo python rasa_x_commands.py create-saml admin NAMEID, where NAMEID should be the expected name ID SAML property of the user.

Bugfixes

  • Fixed the created branch’s name not being updated after a first commit in Integrated version control

  • Use correct Bearer authorization header in the documentation for adding a Git repository to Rasa X.

Improvements

  • Log events on the Conversations screen to better understand the user experience. NOTE: These events are dropped by the server unless telemetry is enabled.

Deprecations and Removals

  • Removed attributes column in rasa_x_user SQL table (this is not needed for SAML authentication).

[0.23.1] - 2019-11-28

Bugfixes

  • Fixed failing helm upgrade when appVersion was changed. If the upgrade fails with an error message such as:

    Error: UPGRADE FAILED: cannot patch "rasa-app" with kind Deployment: Deployment.apps "rasa-app" is invalid: spec.selector: Invalid value: v1.LabelSelector{MatchLabels:map[string]string{"app.kubernetes.io/instance":"rasa", "app.kubernetes.io/managed-by":"Helm", "app.kubernetes.io/name":"rasa-x", "app.kubernetes.io/version":"0.23.0", "app.name":"app-deployment.yaml", "helm.sh/chart":"rasa-x-0.23.0"}, MatchExpressions:[]v1.LabelSelectorRequirement(nil)}: field is immutable && cannot patch

    The following workaround can be used to upgrade:

    kubectl delete deployment --namespace <rasa namespace> -l app.kubernetes.io/instance=<rasa release name>

    After the upgrade the issue should not happen anymore.

  • Fixed an issue where the Conversations screen would attempt to fetch a single conversation rather than retrieving the list of further conversations

  • Added warnings and improved error handling on the Training Data screen to identify out-of-bounds entity annotation

[0.22.2] - 2019-11-08

Features

  • Environment variable RUN_EVENT_CONSUMER_AS_SEPARATE_SERVICE to determine whether the event consumer is run as a separate Docker service. If true, Rasa X will not launch the event service, and expects that it is run in a separate container (recommended for setups that experience high message load). If false or unset, Rasa X will launch the event service automatically as a subprocess.

  • In server mode the event consumer will expose an HTTP endpoint GET /health that indicates readiness (status code 200). The port can be further defined using the SELF_PORT environment variable (5673 by default).

Bugfixes

  • Changed Sanic response timeout to 1h in order to prevent errors when training models with a lot of training data.
