UBot 3.3 Beta was just announced today on the main UBot Blog. There are a ton of cool improvements and it looks to be an exciting release. Under the hood, Seth has completely reworked the UBot infrastructure which will make it easier for him to make changes to UBot more easily moving forward. Hopefully this should result in less bugs popping up with each release, and UBot becoming more stable in general.
The biggest changes though in UBot 3.3 is the new UI. You will notice that UBot now has a new 3 column interface. On the left, is the Toolbox which contains all the available commands. Now you can just drag the commands from the toolbox into the center column to construct your bots instead of using the context menu system. There is also a handy search field in the toolbox which allows you to find the command you want very easily.
The UBot browser has also been revamped to make coding simpler as well. There’s a new Form commands context menu in the browser which contains common operations for filling fields, clicking buttons, etc. Previously, it took a couple of steps to do these commands, but now they can all be done with a single operation. The UBot browser also supports dragging fields from the browser window into the coding window and it will automatically set everything for your properly. As any UBot developer knows, filling out forms is a very common task and UBot 3.3 really streamlines the process for you.
Currently this release is in private beta. I was lucky enough to get on the beta list, so I am really excited to play around with this new version of UBot. If you are interested in seeing UBot 3.3 in action, make sure to check out these 2 UBot preview videos that Seth put together.
