Table of Contents
Version 1.1.0
Conversational AI 25.3.2.2
Improvements
Agent Widget
- Improved session handling with partitioned cookies: Introduced partitioned cookies to enhance session management. This improves session stability, prevents cross-site tracking issues, particularly in browsers with strict cookie policies (e.g., Chrome's third-party cookie restrictions).
KD package Installer
- Added chatbot database initialization progress logs: Introduced detailed logging during chatbot database initialization in the Knowledge Discovery installer. Logs now display progress stages, timestamps, and status messages, improving visibility and troubleshooting capabilities for on-prem deployments in air-gapped environments.
Internal Improvements
- Code quality and stability enhancements across chatbot and voicebot components.
Bug Fixes
Chatbot Widget
- Fixed widget size reset on scroll (desktop): The chatbot widget no longer unexpectedly resizes when users scroll the page on desktop browsers. This ensures a consistent, stable widget experience during interactions.
- Fixed input text color in dark mode: Corrected text color rendering in the chatbot input field when dark mode is enabled, improving readability and visual consistency.
-
Fixed link clickability issue: Resolved a bug where links in chatbot messages were not clickable due to the "scroll to bottom" button overlaying message content. Users can now interact with all links in chat history without obstruction.
Agent Widget
Admin Panel
- Fixed GenAI response statistics display: Corrected the display of statistics related to generative AI responses in the Reports / Chatbot / Usage section. Metrics now accurately reflect GenAI usage, enabling better monitoring and analysis of AI-driven interactions.
