    • While the focus is on the container, LEFT/RIGHT arrow keys are used to select different buttons (UP/DOWN for stacked layout)
    • Visual focus indicator is now two tiered. The default styling is same as the one we use in chat history
      • New style options added suggestedActionsVisualKeyboardIndicatorColor, suggestedActionsVisualKeyboardIndicatorStyle, suggestedActionsVisualKeyboardIndicatorWidth
    • Suggested actions container will be unmounted when there are no suggested action button to display
    • Suggested actions container is not longer a live region. The suggested action buttons will now be narrated by the chat history live region
  • Published NPM packages will now include /dist, /lib, and /src folders
    • The /dist folder was previously missing from our NPM packages
  • The activity.channelData.state property is being deprecated in favor of the updated activity.channelData['webchat:send-status'] property. Main differences include:
    • Previously, we would set the state property to "send failed" when the chat adapter failed to send the activity, or after passing a timeout as defined in styleOptions.sendTimeout
    • The new 'webchat:send-status' property will be set to "send failed" when the chat adapter fails to send the activity or after passing a hardcoded timeout of 5 minutes
    • See PR #4362 for details

  • Resolves #4211. Added new useSendStatusByActivityKey hook to check the UI send status of an outgoing activity, by @compulim in PR #4362
    • The send status returned by this hook is designed to display different UIs that reflect the "sending", "send failed" or "sent" status of the activity
    • When modifying styleOptions.sendTimeout prop, the send status returned by this hook may transition from "send failed" to "sending", and vice versa
    • This is different from the send status provided by the chat adapter, namely activity.channelData['webchat:send-status']
