As many of you already know, the Live Agents Platform is retiring support for the bots (see http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsliveagents/archive/2008/11/25/wla-5-1-sdk-is-now-available-for-download.aspx#comments for more details). TBot is currently based on this very same platform, so in order to keep the agent running our team is developing our own run time environment.
This is a significant change, and it will take us time to get to the same scalability levels Live Agents currently have. That said, we’ll be starting an Alpha test period soon – we'll let you know when we have instructions for this, as we'd love to have your help testing! Just be aware that interruptions will happen as we fix bugs and add more features.
On that note, TBot v2 will have some of the new features our team announced last week: language auto detect and any-to-any translations. Also, some of the dialogs will change as we try to accommodate the new scenarios and language options.
We hope we can get the new version up and running soon, and meanwhile the Alpha Test version will be operating at limited capacity.
