update and code refactoring focused on:
1. Adding new documentation pages to the table of contents
2. Restructuring the bot templates documentation
3. Changing keyword syntax from underscore format to space format (e.g.,
`SET_BOT_MEMORY` → `SET BOT MEMORY`)
4. Updating compiler and keyword registration to support the new
space-based syntax
5. Adding new keyword modules (social media, lead scoring, templates,
etc.)
Refactor BASIC keywords to use spaces instead of underscores
Change keyword syntax from underscore format (SET_BOT_MEMORY) to more
natural space-separated format (SET BOT MEMORY) throughout the codebase.
Key changes:
- Update Rhai custom syntax registration to use space tokens
- Simplify compiler preprocessing (fewer replacements needed)
- Update all template .bas files to use new syntax
- Expand documentation with consolidated examples and new sections
- Add new keyword modules: social_media, lead_scoring, send_template,
core_functions, qrcode, sms, procedures, import_export, llm_macros,
on_form_submit
Add flate2 and tar dependencies for archive extraction support in file
operations. Update documentation with:
- New BASIC keywords: SWITCH/CASE, WEBHOOK, INSTR, IS_NUMERIC
- HTTP operations: POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE_HTTP, GRAPHQL, SOAP
- Data operations: SAVE, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, MERGE, FILTER, etc.
- File operations: READ, WRITE, COMPRESS, EXTRACT, GENERATE_PDF, etc.
Simplify README and add appendices for external services and environment
variables. Add monitoring dashboard and player UI docs.
Introduces IMAGE, VIDEO, AUDIO, and SEE keywords for BASIC scripts that
connect to the botmodels service for AI-powered media generation and
vision/captioning capabilities.
- Add BotModelsClient for HTTP communication with botmodels service
- Implement BASIC keywords: IMAGE, VIDEO, AUDIO (generation), SEE
(captioning)
- Support configuration via config.csv for models
- Add 14 new capabilities to the feature table including calendar, task
automation, whiteboard, video conferencing, analytics, and more
- Expand SaaS replacement comparison with 7 additional products
- Update annual savings calculation from $1,500 to $3,000 per user
- Add technical infrastructure details for new components
- Fix BASIC script example formatting and syntax
- Correct installation command from general-bots to botserver
- Add DeepSeek to supported LLM list
- Minor text refinements for clarity
- Database migrations run automatically on startup
- New QUICK_START.md with usage examples and troubleshooting
- Better handling of already-running services
Replaces ui-server with console in default features, adds comprehensive
quick start documentation, implements automatic database migrations at
startup, and ensures critical services (PostgreSQL and MinIO) are
started automatically.
Key changes:
- Console UI now enable
The sqlx database library has been removed from the project along with
associated database-specific code that was no longer being used. This
includes removal of various sqlx-related dependencies from Cargo.lock
and cleanup of database connection pool references.
Changed incorrect references to .vbs files to .bas and corrected
USE_WEBSITE keyword naming. Also added missing fields to API response
structure and clarified that start.bas is optional for bots.
- Added HTTP server with CORS support and various endpoints
- Introduced http_tx/http_rx channels for HTTP server control
- Cleaned up build.rs by removing commented code
- Updated .gitignore to use *.rdb pattern instead of .rdb
- Simplified capabilities.json to empty object
- Improved UI initialization with better error handling
- Reorganized module imports in main.rs
- Added worker count configuration for HTTP server
The changes introduce a new HTTP server capability while cleaning up and improving existing code structure. The HTTP server includes authentication, session management, and websocket support.
Added diesel_migrations crate (v2.3.0) to enable database migration functionality. Updated Cargo.toml and Cargo.lock to include the new dependency along with its required sub-dependencies (migrations_internals and migrations_macros). Also made minor cleanups in the codebase:
- Removed unused UI code from platform README
- Cleaned up LLM server initialization code
- Added additional build dependencies in documentation
- Removed unused `id` and `app_state` fields from `ChatPanel`; updated constructor to accept but ignore the state, reducing memory footprint.
- Switched database access in `ChatPanel` from a raw `Mutex` lock to a connection pool (`app_state.conn.get()`), improving concurrency and error handling.
- Reordered and cleaned up imports in `status_panel.rs` and formatted struct fields for readability.
- Updated VS Code launch configuration to pass `--noui` argument, enabling headless mode for debugging.
- Bumped several crate versions in `Cargo.lock` (e.g., `bitflags` to 2.10.0, `syn` to 2.0.108, `cookie` to 0.16.2) and added the new `ashpd` dependency, aligning the project with latest library releases.
Enhanced Chapter 1 documentation with detailed session architecture, storage layers, and API endpoints. Added new Part XI on authentication and security to SUMMARY.md, introducing chapters on user and bot authentication, password security, and API endpoints. Improves clarity and coverage of system interaction and security concepts.
- Created detailed markdown files for keywords such as HEAR, TALK, and SET_USER.
- Added examples and usage notes for each keyword to enhance user understanding.
- Developed templates for common tasks like enrollment and authentication.
- Structured documentation into chapters covering various aspects of the GeneralBots platform, including gbapp, gbkb, and gbtheme.
- Introduced a glossary for key terms and concepts related to GeneralBots.
- Implemented a user-friendly table of contents for easy navigation.
