After entering a prompt, the interface shows you the response of the bot right away. This response shows if the AI understood the prompt, so you know if you need to rephrase it. Since the response is displayed inline, you can see if it works without having to start a session.

Reached another milestone for the interface to run bots. The latest update includes a graphical interface for configuring bot sessions, allowing you to customize the behavior of the selected bot in the 'Configure Session' view.

Abbadon shared multiple sessions with training data for Korean, enabling the use of apps with Korean EVE Online game clients.

For more details on the development, see the discussion at https://t.co/1lJofCRV5u

Abbadon introduced support for Korean localizations of EVE Online. This change enables bots to understand the game state better when working with a game client in the Korean version.

Software like bots and local monitors often use textual labels in the game client to understand what is going on in the game world. These labels can vary depending on the language settings in the game client.

The performance improvements in the client also removed blockers that could delay the execution of tasks started by a bot.
On the framework side, we improved readability and introduced unique task IDs so that bot developers can easily track tasks in inspection tools.

Renaming BotEngine to BotLab

I realized that the name 'BotEngine' doesn't describe well what we do here. So I'm changing it.

Elm Editor user interface continues to evolve. It now displays the path to the currently opened file above the editor.
It also now supports enlarging the editor side or the output side to use available screen space better.
