22.0.0 - 20 Feb 2023

Warning

Breaking change release.

• The rpaframework-dialogs package is no longer part of the rpaframework package. Reason for this change is the deprecation of the RPA.Dialogs library as we are recommending the RPA.Assistant library for building attended Robots.

  This means that RPA.Dialogs library can be still used, but it needs to be separately added into the pip section of the conda.yaml file (rpaframework-dialogs==4.0.2).

  The RPA.Assistant library also requires separate package installation of rpaframework-assistant==1.2.1.

  We see that unattended robots are a majority of the process run cases and thus it makes sense to move libraries meant for the attended robots into separate packages. Added benefit is that will reduce the package size for the rpaframework package.

  Please read the migration guide on how to move from RPA.Dialogs to RPA.Assistant.

• Migration guide: Given this major upgrade, the Load Work Item ... keywords got removed with functionality replaced by Get Input Work Item. Use this keyword for loading your next input work item no matter if you’re running the robot in Control Room or locally. Keep in mind that under Robot Framework code, the first input work item gets loaded automatically and you don’t need to call this keyword if you only process one item in your run. For disabling this behavior, use autoload=${False} when importing the RPA.Robocorp.WorkItems library.

  If multiple steps are configured in Control Room, make sure that “Done items forwarding” is checked in Process’ configuration. Uncheck this if you have a modern robot that explicitly retrieves multiple input work items and creates output ones.
