        <title>Botkit Updates</title>
        <description>&lt;h2 id=&quot;section&quot;&gt;0.4&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Add support for Botkit Studio APIs. &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/howdyai/botkit/blob/master/readme-studio.md&quot;&gt;More Info&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Substantially expanded the documentation regarding Botkit’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/howdyai/botkit/blob/master/readme.md#conversation-threads&quot;&gt;conversation thread system&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Add support for Microsoft Bot Framework.  The &lt;a href=&quot;https://botframework.com&quot;&gt;Microsoft Bot Framework&lt;/a&gt; makes it easy to create a single bot that can run across a variety of messaging channels including &lt;a href=&quot;https://skype.com&quot;&gt;Skype&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://groupme.com&quot;&gt;Group.me&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://messenger.com&quot;&gt;Facebook Messenger&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://slack.com&quot;&gt;Slack&lt;/a&gt;,
&lt;a href=&quot;https://telegram.org/&quot;&gt;Telegram&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.kik.com/&quot;&gt;Kik&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.twilio.com/&quot;&gt;SMS&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://microsoft.office.com&quot;&gt;email&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/howdyai/botkit/blob/master/readme-botframework.md&quot;&gt;More Info&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Updates to Facebook Messenger connector to support features like message echoes, read receipts, and quick replies.&lt;/p&gt;
