+
+- (**Internal Improvement**) Dependency updates
+
+# (2025-02-27) Version 1.5.0
+
+- (**Feature**) Add support for sending Speech-to-Text replies for [Transcribe-only mode](./docs/features.md#transcribe-only-mode) as regular text messages instead of notices and doing it so by default ([a1bd292752](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/commit/a1bd292752bdd37a196788c73d00b5619e843a78)) - improvement for [issue #14](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/issues/14). See [🦻 Speech-to-Text / 🪄 Message Type for non-threaded only-transcribed messages](./docs/configuration/speech-to-text.md#-message-type-for-non-threaded-only-transcribed-messages) for details.
+
+- (**Feature**) Add config setting controlling if a self-introduction message is posted after joining a room ([c051da2f4a](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/commit/c051da2f4a161de0974ebb917f7a52d01f5a001f)) - fixes [issue #32](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/issues/32). You may wish to add a `room.post_join_self_introduction_enabled` property to your configuration. See the [sample config](./etc/app/config.yml.dist) for details. If unspecified, it defaults to `true` anyway which preserves the old behavior.
+
+- (**Feature**) Add support for configuring `max_completion_tokens` for OpenAI ([47d8edea70](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/commit/47d8edea705a44aa25a9bfaec4888c0f9ea8700e))
+
+- (**Improvement**) Dependency updates. This version is based on [mxlink](https://crates.io/crates/mxlink)@1.6.1 (which is based on the newly released [matrix-sdk](https://crates.io/crates/matrix-sdk)@[0.10.0](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-rust-sdk/releases/tag/matrix-sdk-0.10.0))
+
+- (**Improvement**) Populate image/audio attachment `body` with a filename, not with text to avoid incorrect rendering in Element Web, etc. ([ec1879d212](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/commit/ec1879d212fa8d6e5f8590486e94c72abfcb75a5))
+
+- (**Improvement**) Replace Anthropic library ([anthropic-rs](https://crates.io/crates/anthropic-rs) -> [anthropic](https://crates.io/crates/anthropic)) and switch default recommended model (`claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620` -> `claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219`) ([692d61b239](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/commit/692d61b2398f073b81d32d4cbe8145ab3929e48c)) - fixes [issue #22](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/issues/22)
+
+- (**Internal Improvement**) Switch to native building of `arm64` container images to decrease total build times from ~40 minutes to ~8 minutes ([6719538530b](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/commit/6719538530bf76b3ff2d24077b2a7fa868276b79))
+
+- (**Internal Improvement**) Various other internal changes, including upgrading [Rust from 1.82 to 1.85 and switching to Rust edition 2024](https://blog.rust-lang.org/2025/02/20/Rust-1.85.0.html)
+
+
+# (2024-12-12) Version 1.4.1
+
+- (**Bugfix**) Fix detection for whether the bot is the last member in a room, to avoid incorrectly leaving multi-user rooms that have had at least one person `leave` ([3c47d40781](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/commit/3c47d407819aa9c0121117a411858238724f06da))
+
+
+# (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))
+
+- (**Feature**) Support for [Matrix authenticated media](https://matrix.org/docs/spec-guides/authed-media-servers/), thanks to upgrading [mxlink](https://crates.io/crates/mxlink) / [matrix-sdk](https://crates.io/crates/matrix-sdk) - fixes [issue #12](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/issues/12)
+
+
+# (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))

 # (2024-10-01) Version 1.2.0

- (**Feature**) Adds support for [on-demand involvement](./docs/usage.md#on-demand-involvement) of the bot (via mention) in arbitrary threads and reply chains ([9908512968](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/commit/990851296828168c2106eb3f4668833e9e5a7463)) - fixes [issue #15](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/issues/15)

- (**Feature**) Simplifies [Transcribe-only mode](./docs/features.md#transcribe-only-mode) reply format (removing `> 🦻` prefixing) to allow easier forwarding, etc. ([e6aa956423](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/commit/e6aa95642376ee7d87932d0e66dcfedf261b188b)) - fixes [issue #14](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/issues/14)

 - (**Bugfix**) Fixes speech-to-text replies rendering incorrectly in certain clients, due to them confusing our old reply format with [fallback for rich replies](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.11/client-server-api/#fallbacks-for-rich-replies) ([e6aa956423](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/commit/e6aa95642376ee7d87932d0e66dcfedf261b188b)) - fixes [issue #17](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/issues/17)

+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.

 - adjust the [🦻 Speech-to-Text / 🪄 Flow Type](./configuration/speech-to-text.md#-flow-type) setting to make the bot only transcribe (without doing [💬 Text Generation](#-text-generation)): `!bai config room speech-to-text set-flow-type only_transcribe`

+- optionally adjust [🦻 Speech-to-Text / 🪄 Message Type for non-threaded only-transcribed messages](./configuration/speech-to-text.md#-message-type-for-non-threaded-only-transcribed-messages), if you'd like to bot to send messages of type `notice` (for better compatibility with other bots in the room) instead of sending regular `text` messages (default)

See: - https://github.com/roushou/mesh/issues/1 - https://github.com/roushou/mesh/pull/2 https://github.com/cortesi/misanthropy was also considered as an alternative, but it did not allow configuring the base API URL like our old Anthropic library (`anthropic-rs`) and like our new choice (`anthropic`).

Slavi Pantaleev	6741483056	Update dependencies	2025-02-26 20:51:24 +02:00
Slavi Pantaleev	06b2b6d776	Use progress indicator emoji (⏳), not 🦻 to indicate that speech-to-text is happening 🦻 is used for another purpose - to denote that a message is one coming from speech-to-text, by: - having the bot react to its own speech-to-text transcription message with the 🦻 emoji when it's posted in a non-thread - having the bot prefix its speech-to-text transcription messages with `> 🦻` when it's posted in a thread ⏳ is already used as a progress indicator for other features, so it makes sense to use it for indicating that speech-to-text is happening for a given audio message as well. While 🦻 was an even more descriptive illustration of what's actually happening to the audio message ("it's being heard by the bot"), us using the 🦻 emoji for different things didn't seem good.	2025-02-26 20:51:24 +02:00
Slavi Pantaleev	a1bd292752	Add support for making Text-To-Speech send regular text messages instead of notices When speech-to-text/flow-type = `only_transcribe`, the bot will now send text messages by default, not notices. While notice messages may be less desirable with other bots in the room, it's probably a better default for most people who enable "transcribe-only" mode.

Slavi Pantaleev	ec1879d212	Populate image/audio attachment `body` with a filename, not with text Various clients (including newer versions of Element Web), do not like it when the `body` field of the attachment is not a file name. For images, a preview may not be shown and downloading the attachment may suggest that the whole long text is used as a filename (which is odd). There is value (improved accessibility, etc.) in adding better descriptions (especially to generated images), but given that it's currently problematic, I'm getting rid of it. It's better and safer if we stick to using filenames.	2025-01-24 11:35:08 +02:00

Slavi Pantaleev	a9e4ab1bdb	Release 1.3.1	2024-10-03 16:30:58 +03:00
Slavi Pantaleev	d9a045a5e4	Make fallback user mentions support also match against the bot's room-specific username It seems like Element iOS benefits from this.	2024-10-03 16:28:49 +03:00
Slavi Pantaleev	393be9be5a	Remove strip_rich_reply_fallback_text in favor of remove_plain_reply_fallback from ruma events No need to reinvent the wheel.	2024-10-03 16:02:06 +03:00

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
