+# (2024-11-19) Version 1.4.0
+
+- (**Improvement**) Dependency updates. This version is based on [mxlink](https://crates.io/crates/mxlink)@1.4.0 (which is based on the newly released [matrix-sdk](https://crates.io/crates/matrix-sdk)@[0.8.0](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-rust-sdk/releases/tag/matrix-sdk-0.8.0)). Once you run this version at least once and your matrix-sdk datastore gets upgraded to the new schema, **you will not be able to downgrade to older baibot versions** (based on the older matrix-sdk), unless you start with an empty datastore.
+
+- (**Bugfix**) Add missing typing notices sending functionality while generating images ([9d166e35ba](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/commit/9d166e35ba6fc0daaf69318870e92436f3302056))

+
+# (2024-11-12) Version 1.3.2
+
+Dependency updates.
+
+
+# (2024-10-03) Version 1.3.1
+
+- (**Improvement**) Improves fallback user mentions support for old clients (like Element iOS) which use the bot's display name (not its full Matrix User ID). ([d9a045a5e4](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/commit/d9a045a5e41d2b99694f92ec9e90f47529546d89))
+
+
+# (2024-10-03) Version 1.3.0
+
+**TLDR**: you can now use OpenAI's [o1](https://platform.openai.com/docs/models/o1) models, benefit from [prompt caching](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/prompt-caching) and mention the bot again from old clients lacking proper [user mentions support](https://spec.matrix.org/latest/client-server-api/#user-and-room-mentions) (like Element iOS).
+
+- (**Feature**) Introduces a new `baibot_conversation_start_time_utc` [prompt variable](./docs/configuration/text-generation.md#️-prompt-override) which is not a moving target (like the `baibot_now_utc` variable) and allows [prompt caching](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/prompt-caching) to work. All default/sample configs have been adjusted to make use of this new variable, but users need to adjust your existing dynamically-created agents to start using it. ([85e66406dc](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/commit/85e66406dc6f430741c7819f420e2df4ae6e8d3b))
+
+- (**Improvement**) Allows for the `max_response_tokens` configuration value for the [OpenAI provider](./docs/providers.md#openai) to be set to `null` to allow [o1](https://platform.openai.com/docs/models/o1) models (which do not support `max_response_tokens`) to be used. See the new o1 sample config [here](./docs/sample-provider-configs/openai-o1.yml). ([db9422740c](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/commit/db9422740ceca32956d9628b6326b8be206344e2))
+
+- (**Improvement**) Switches the sample configs for the [OpenAI provider](./docs/providers.md#openai) to point to the `gpt-4o` model, which since 2024-10-02 is the same as the `gpt-4o-2024-08-06` model. We previously explicitly pointed the bot to the `gpt-4o-2024-08-06` model, because it was much better (longer context window). Now that `gpt-4o` points to the same powerful model, we don't need to pin its version anymore. Existing users may wish to adjust their configuration to match. ([90fbad5b64](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/commit/90fbad5b643cd06c23179f055a309ec6a7cba161))
+
+- (**Bugfix**) Restores fallback user mentions support (via regular text, not via the [user mentions spec](https://spec.matrix.org/latest/client-server-api/#user-and-room-mentions)) to allow certain old clients (like Element iOS) to be able to mention the bot again. Support for this was intentionally removed recently (in [v1.2.0](#2024-10-01-version-120)), but it turned out to be too early to do this. ([b40226826f](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/commit/b40226826fe914d0d5d265230ebc5bac8058b6f7))

+#### On-demand involvement
+
+In the following 2 cases, it's useful to involve the bot in conversations on-demand:
+
+1. In multi-user rooms (with the [🗟 Prefix Requirement](./configuration/text-generation.md#-prefix-requirement-type) setting set to "required")
+2. In rooms with foreign users (users that are not authorized bot [👥 users](./access.md#-users))
+
+In these instances, an allowed [👥 user](./access.md#-users) can also provoke the bot to respond to **any** thread or reply chain by [mentioning](https://spec.matrix.org/latest/client-server-api/#user-and-room-mentions) the bot (e.g. `@baibot Hello!`). The following screenshots demonstrate this behavior:
+
+- [🖼️ On-demand involvement in the room](./screenshots/text-generation-prefix-requirement.webp)
+- [🖼️ On-demand involvement in a thread](./screenshots/text-generation-on-demand-thread-involvement.webp) (the Alice user in this example is not an allowed user, yet her messages are still considered as part of the conversation context)
+- [🖼️ On-demand involvement in a reply chain](./screenshots/text-generation-on-demand-reply-involvement.webp) (the Alice user in this example is not an allowed user, yet her messages are still considered as part of the conversation context)
+
+💡 **NOTE**: Normally, the bot **only considers messages from allowed [👥 Users](./access.md#-users)** and ignores all other messages when responding. However, **when the bot is explicitly invoked (via mention)** in a thread or reply chain, **it will consider all messages** in the thread and reply chain (even those from foreign users) as part of the conversation context.

-Room messages start a threaded conversation where you can continue back-and-forth communication with the bot.
+Room messages start a threaded conversation where you can continue back-and-forth communication with the bot. Using [on-demand involvement](./features.md#on-demand-involvement), you can can also mention the bot to provoke it to get involved in any conversation thread or reply chain.

 Unless you've enabled the [♻️ Context Management](./features.md#️-context-management) feature, all messages will be sent to the agent's API each time. If the context management feature is enabled, older messages may be dropped.

-#### On-demand involvement
-
-In the following 2 cases, it's useful to involve the bot in conversations on-demand:
-
-1. For multi-user rooms (with the [🗟 Prefix Requirement](./configuration/text-generation.md#-prefix-requirement-type) setting set to "required")
-2. In rooms with foreign users (users that are not authorized bot [👥 users](./access.md#-users))
-
-In these instances, an allowed [👥 user](./access.md#-users) can also provoke the bot to respond to **any** thread or reply chain by [mentioning](https://spec.matrix.org/latest/client-server-api/#user-and-room-mentions) the bot (e.g. `@baibot Hello!`). The following screenshots demonstrate this behavior:
-
- [🖼️ On-demand involvement in the room](./screenshots/text-generation-prefix-requirement.webp)
- [🖼️ On-demand involvement in a thread](./screenshots/text-generation-on-demand-thread-involvement.webp) (the Alice user in this example is not an allowed user, yet her messages are still considered as part of the conversation context)
- [🖼️ On-demand involvement in a reply chain](./screenshots/text-generation-on-demand-reply-involvement.webp) (the Alice user in this example is not an allowed user, yet her messages are still considered as part of the conversation context)
-
-💡 **NOTE**: Normally, the bot **only considers messages from allowed [👥 Users](./access.md#-users)** and ignores all other messages when responding. However, **when the bot is explicitly invoked (via mention)** in a thread or reply chain, **it will consider all messages** in the thread and reply chain (even those from foreign users) as part of the conversation context.

Slavi Pantaleev	85e66406dc	Allow for prompt caching to work by using `baibot_conversation_start_time_utc` instead of `baibot_now_utc` This patch introduces a new `baibot_conversation_start_time_utc` variable which indicates the time the conversation got started. Using `baibot_now_utc` is still possible, but given that the current time is a moving target, its use is in conflict with prompt caching. Because the new `baibot_conversation_start_time_utc` prompt variable is a more reasonable default, we're now using it in all sample configs.	2024-10-03 11:48:14 +03:00
Slavi Pantaleev	db9422740c	Add support for OpenAI's o1 models by making `max_response_tokens` optional The other prerequisite seems to be not using a `prompt` (`prompt: null`), but we already supported this. It'd be nice to add an optional `max_completion_tokens` parameter as well, for the benefit of the o1 models, but this is not yet supported by async-openai. Possibly tracked here: https://github.com/64bit/async-openai/issues/272	2024-10-03 10:36:28 +03:00
Slavi Pantaleev	90fbad5b64	Update sample & default OpenAI provider configs to use gpt-4o (instead of gpt-4o-2024-08-06) Since 2024-10-02, `gpt-4o` is actually the same as `gpt-4o-2024-08-06`. We previously used `gpt-4o-2024-08-06`, because it was pointing to a much better (longer context) model. Since they're both the same now, we'd better stick to the unpinned model and make it easier for future users to get upgrades.	2024-10-03 09:26:41 +03:00
Slavi Pantaleev	b40226826f	Restore fallback support for user mentions Fallback support was intentionally removed in `9908512968`, because it was deemed OK to do so. It turns out that Element iOS still doesn't properly do user mentions (and likely never will, until Element X replaces it), so we can't just drop the fallback user mentions logic without affecting all these clients. It's possible that the Element Android is no better (unverified claim).	2024-10-03 09:18:02 +03:00
