Merry christmas! (Botfather v6.2 released)

December 23, 2019

Merry christmas everyone! I finally found some time to release BF v6.2 and update the Browser documentation. Hope the changes are welcome and useful. Happy automating!

As teased in the previous two blog posts Botfather is now able to:

• Run multiple browser based bots at once
• Evaluate Javascript in its browsers
• Send keyboard inputs to the browser

Furthermore, there are coming a lot of fixes and tweaks with this new version.

Donations

Currently I make no money from BF, but I have to pay for the website and domain every month. To cover these costs I added a “Buy me a coffee” button to see how that goes. If asking for donations doesn’t work I’ll try to add ads to the website (not the actual program).

Botfather 7

I did some prototyping and came to the conclusion that BF7 will probably switch its scripting language to Python and see a major redesign. Python will allow script/bot developers to use existing Python packages such as Tensorflow for proper machine learning. (Yes, I tried to integrate node.js, but their embedding API is atm very poor).

Anyways, thats it from me for this year. Merry christmas to all of you. See you next year.
