4.3
c4c3d31

In this release, the team focused on improving and simplifying message and activities handling. The Bot Framework Activity Schema is the underlying schema used to define the interaction model for bots. With the 4.3 release, we have streamlined some of the activity types in the Bot Framework Activity Schema. Exposing a simple On* methods (OnMessage, OnEvent, OnConversationUpdate, etc.), simplifying the usage of these activities.

We are in the process of updating the docs and samples to reflect these changes. As with any release, we fixed a number of bugs, continue to improve LUIS and QnA integration and further clean our engineering practices. There were additional updates across the other area like Language, Prompt and Dialogs, and Connectors and Adapters.
