2.0.0: The Async/Await Update

This is a major new version of RiveScript. It adds async/await support and
makes the API asynchronous everywhere. It also decaffeinates the code,
migrating it from CoffeeScript back to native ES2015+ with modern syntax.

See the Upgrading-v2 document for information about what's
new and how to upgrade your code.

v2.0.0 last minute changes:

  • Fix a bug where <reply> in +Trigger wasn't being formatted properly
    (lowercased, etc.) so matching was difficult.
  • Add a Redis driver for an example User Variable Session Manager that
    stores variables directly to the cache, and an eg/redis example bot
    that demonstrates it.
  • Write documentation for final v2.0.0 launch.

2.0.0-beta.1 - Jan 16 2019

  • Republish to npm after updating TypeScript definitions.
  • Move release status to "beta"

Before 2.0.0 final release there should be at least one User Variable Session
Driver implemented (likely Redis) to verify the session interface is working
as intended.

2.0.0-alpha.6 - Jul 9 2018

  • Make loadFile() and loadDirectory() backwards compatible so "simple" bots
    won't need to change anything to upgrade, but will get deprecation warnings
    instead. ("Simple" bots used loadFile() or loadDirectory() in conjunction
    with replyAsync(), and didn't use any other functions that changed).

2.0.0-alpha.5 - Jul 7 2018

  • Fix <botstar> not working at all.
  • Make loadFile() and loadDirectory() promise-based.
  • Add the User Variable Session Manager Interface and break backwards
    compatibility on all methods that use user variables (e.g.
    getUservar(), lastMatch(), etc.)

2.0.0-alpha.3 - June 23 2018

  • Fix a runtime error when <input> is used in a trigger.
  • Reformatted the unit tests to use ES2015 multi-line string literals.

2.0.0-alpha.2 - June 16 2018

  • Decaffeinate the source code from CoffeeScript back into native JavaScript.
  • Add async/await support into the reply process, which enables support for
    a lot of new async features, including use of <call> tags in
    *Condition checks and for replacing the user variable session manager
    with one backed by a database.
  • Deprecated: replyAsync().
