Significant update to Alexa adapter

This release sees a significant update to the Alexa adapter. This update takes a dependency on the Alexa.NET library, making development of Bot Framework powered Alexa skills even easier, including the ability to take advantage of many 3rd party NuGet packages for interacting with the Alexa API.

As part of the update the adapter has seen the followign key improvements;

  • Smart concatenation of outgoing activities (meaning multiple activities can be send and will be combined into a single response for Alexa, including attachments and SSML markup).
  • Markdown parsing - the adapter will convert common markdown, such as lists, headings, links and paragraphs, into speakable sentences.
  • Updated mappings between Alexa requests and Bot Framework activities, including SessionEndedRequest -> EndOfConversationActivities and LaunchRequest -> ConversationUpdateActivities.

Huge thanks to @NickEricson for the collaboration on this work!

Also huge update to Alexa docs -> https://github.com/BotBuilderCommunity/botbuilder-community-dotnet/blob/develop/libraries/Bot.Builder.Community.Adapters.Alexa

New Zoom adapter

A brand new adapter to allow for the development of Zoom apps (including Zoom chatbot apps) with Bot Framework SDK v4. The new adapter supports automated transformation of chatbot specific Zoom requests into Bot Framework activities, including interactive message requests, and support for Zoom message templates (dropdown, message with link, editable fields, attachment and actions).
