v2.0.0-beta.21

Minor Breaking Change:

• The desktopEnabled and mobileEnabled properties previously found under settings.general have been moved to a new settings.device section

Fixed:

• Fixed an issue with notification sound spams when streaming messages

Added:

• Added a new sendIconHoveredStyle to allow users to define send icon styles on hover
• Added a new device section (which the desktopEnabled and mobileEnabled properties are moved to)
• Added a new applyMobileOptimizations property to the newly added settings.device section

v2.0.0-beta.20

Fixed:

• Fixed an issue with the default chatbot footer icon
• Improved checks for desktop/mobile devices
• Reduced unnecessary re-renders (minor optimizations)
• Properly fixed chatbot svg icon on mobile

Added:

• Added new replaceSettings, replaceStyles, replaceMessages, replacePaths and replaceToasts utility functions to their respective hooks (replaces their respective state setters)

Note:
Hooks no longer directly expose state setters (not a great practice, and hinders optimizations that can be done within the library itself). The new functions serve as a drop-in replacement for the state setters.

• Fixed an issue where audio service will read out html tags

• Fixed an issue where tooltip had a much lower z-index than chat window, causing it to be partially hidden
• Fixed an issue with the useToasts hook not being imported correctly
• Fixed an issue where chatbot button svg icon was not rendered correctly on mobile devices

Added:

• Added a new updateSettings utility function to the useSettings hook (refer to documentation for details)
• Added a new updateStyles utility function to the useStyles hook (refer to documentation for details)

v2.0.0-beta.15

Fixed:

• Fixed an issue where removeMessage was not working due to outdated messages state
• Fixed an issue where defaultToggledOn property for voice did not properly register voice inputs
• Fixed an issue where settingdefaultOpen to true for chatWindow does not make it open by default
• Fixed an issue where toggling open the chat window does not emit its associated event

Note:
