Current State of Feedback

The Feedback Middleware approach has been deprecated since the 0.8 release of Microsoft.Bot.Solutions. With the 1.0 release we have implemented a temporary feedback mechanism which is outlined here. We will have an incremental release in the near future with a more robust feedback implementation that will be a part of the Microsoft.Bot.Solutions library.

Language Generation

With the 1.0 GA release, we are now utilizing Language Generation 4.9.1 GA. As part of this, there are some breaking changes to LG syntax which may require you to update your .lg files to adhere to new syntax.

For full details regarding these breaking changes, please refer to the Language Generation 4.8 Preview breaking changes.
