Bots 6.24 release

The following release notes include information for bots release 6.24. For information on the release timeline, see Change log.

Platform versions

Bot

6.24

New features:

  • Support for multi-region federation. Enterprise customers can now federate with AWS Wickr customers in AWS Canada (Central) and London regions in addition to Northern Virginia.

  • To improve the health capabilities of Wickr bots, we added the ability to send events generated on a bot to an Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) topic. This topic can be used to send events to an email address or any other endpoint that can subscribe to events pushed to the defined SNS topic.

Changes, enhancements, and resolved issues:

  • Fixed an issue where Wickr conversations were not being restored correctly for new instances of a bot. This issue would present itself if you created a new instance of a bot and then tried to send a message from the bot to a secure room or group conversation. The bot would not have restored the connection list and would not have a record of the conversation.

  • Fixed an issue where the downloading of files from clients in different domains was not working for bots. This change will make sure files are downloaded when a bot downloads a file from a Wickr client from another federated domain.

  • When a bot receives a file with a long file name, approximately 255 characters, it adds some information to the file name which may make the file name larger than 255 characters. The bot would end up dropping the file in this case, due to operating system limitations. This fix will remove any characters at the end of the file name to keep the length under 255 characters.

Improvements:

The new bot API allows bot developers to set the avatar associated with the bot client. Details of this API will be defined in the WickrIO documentation.
