4.53v

What's Changed

1. Increased the CURL timeout for REST API calls to 360 seconds. Since LLM responses can take a long time, use this carefully and delegate tasks to background workers using PHP-Resque.
2. Updated translations.
3. The encryption cron job now dispatches a "chat modified" event.
4. Fixed an issue in the FB Messenger extension where message attributes were lost in auto-responder messages.
5. The blocked list can now be searched by block ID.
6. Added a new replaceable variable {{msg_all_since_transfer_content_date_nick}}, useful for AI summarization. Documentation.
7. Canned message tags now support a similarity search option under "Canned Messages Suggester Configuration" in the back office.
8. Added a "Priority Check" option in departments. If a chat's priority changes and moves to a different department, the bot will now respond based on the new department.
9. Message edit history will always be stored, regardless of who modified it, unless the operator has the 'lhchat','no_edit_history' permission.
10. The "Send to Email" option will now be available when a chat is closed.
11. Agent statistics grouping is now limited to 10,000 entries, accommodating installations with over 500 operators.
12. Improved the alert icon bot response type: the icon will now change when any of its attributes (e.g., color) are updated.
13. Improved webhook editing functionality.
14. Added a new cron job to verify required PHP extensions: php cron.php -s site_admin -c cron/dependencies
15. The mailbox module now has an option to reset import status.
16. Fixed an issue where operators collapsed the widget completely and could not restore it.
17. Added an option to log group/role changes in the audit log.
18. Prevented duplicate canned messages from appearing due to quick arrow clicks.
19. On mobile, the widget will now minimize when a link is clicked.
20. Optimized email synchronization to avoid scheduling tasks for all mailboxes unnecessarily.
21. Removed the total statistics view, as the last 24-hour statistics provide identical information.
22. Improved validation in the Forms module.
23. Fixed an auto-assignment issue when the transaction scope was not properly terminated.
24. Visitors are no longer allowed to delete a bot if it is assigned to an active chat.
25. The update window will now check the structure of extensions as well.
26. Resolved issues where cron jobs were run under the root user during testing.
27. Introduced a new API to start a chat via a JavaScript command. Documentation.
28. Fixed an issue where not all chat configuration records were fetched and updated.
29. Added support for handling "unsend message" actions on Instagram.
30. Various fixes to reduce widget flickering.
31. Auto-assignment now locks records per user. Previously, users assigned to multiple departments received too many chats.
32. Visitor chat exports now include whisper messages and meta messages.
