Botkit 0.6.1 release: toolkit for making bot applications

Botkit is designed to ease the process of designing and running useful, creative bots that live inside messaging platforms. Bots are applications that can send and receive messages, and in many cases, appear alongside their human counterparts as users.

Some bots talk like people, others silently work in the background, while others present interfaces much like modern mobile applications. Botkit gives developers the necessary tools for building bots of any kind! It provides an easy-to-understand interface for sending and receiving messages so that developers can focus on creating novel applications and experiences instead of dealing with API endpoints.

Botkit 0.6.1 has been released.

Changelog:

Fix bugs in Botframework and ConsoleBot connectors that caused messages not to send. Resolves #1033.

Fix typo in Twilio connector that caused attached media to fail. Thanks @jpowers! PR #1023

Fix missing bodyParser module in Facebook connector. Resolves #1041.

New: Add usergroups APIs for Slack. Thanks to @digitalspecialists for this! PR #1001

Change: Facebook message_echo webhooks will now emit message_echo events instead of message_received events to distinguish them from messages sent by users.
