## PatternFly 6.1

### Promoted package versions

### Component updates

- We fixed bugs that were reported in a few React components. More details are available in [the patternfly-react release notes](https://github.com/patternfly/patternfly-react/releases).


### Website updates

- We fixed an issue on PatternFly.org that prevented proper page loading when navigating to new pages via in-content links.

- We updated [the PatternFly.org accessibility scorecard](/accessibility/accessibility-scorecard#patternfly.org-accessibility-scorecard). We will begin working on any accessibility violations that were identified.

#### Documentation updates

- We updated design guideline images for [context selector](/components/menus/context-selector/design-guidelines) to align with PatternFly 6 styles.
- We updated and added "draggable" examples to [dual list selector](/components/dual-list-selector#draggable) and [ data list](/components/data-list#draggable).
- We updated our ChatBot documentation:
- We renamed the extension to "ChatBot", to better brand our offering and help distinguish it from other general "chatbot" features.
- We combined and organized our documentation into a few cohesive pages: ["Overview"](/patternfly-ai/chatbot/overview), ["UI"](/patternfly-ai/chatbot/ui), and ["Messages"](/patternfly-ai/chatbot/message). Note that our documentation structure could continue to change as our extension grows. We will continue to share updates when changes occur.
- We moved our [basic and embedded ChatBot demos](/patternfly-ai/chatbot/overview/demo) to the "Overview" page for better visibility.
- We added initial [ChatBot design guidelines](/patternfly-ai/chatbot/overview/design-guidelines), which can also be found on the "Overview" page.
- We added documentation for new features, as described in the following section.

### Extension updates

#### ChatBot

We've continued to evolve our new ChatBot:
- We renamed the repo from "patternfly/visual-assistant" to "patternfly/chatbot" to align with our website docs.
- We added support for new features, including:
- [Multiple file attachments](/patternfly-ai/chatbot/messages#messages-with-attachments).
- [Quick response buttons](/patternfly-ai/chatbot/messages#messages-with-quick-responses).
- Additional customization options for [welcome messages](/patternfly-ai/chatbot/ui#welcome-message), [message avatars](/patternfly-ai/chatbot/messages#messages), [message actions](/patternfly-ai/chatbot/messages#custom-messages-actions), [modal](/patternfly-ai/chatbot/ui#modal), [toggle shape](/patternfly-ai/chatbot/ui#custom-toggle-shape).
- A variety of styling updates to shadows, sizing, and positioning.

We've also added these since the last release:

  • Guidance on how to skip to a chatbot (for accessibility purposes)
  • Swapped out the textarea in the message bar for a custom one - previous one was an inappropriate library created by some random college student (I didn't pick the original one, I swear!)
  • Truncate Message bot/user names if they're too long
  • Handle more complex list output in messages
  • Added stop button option for message bar

The avatar and toggle changes are not marked as release blockers, so they may not make it depending on when the freeze is called. I'd like to also include a breaking change (I have a PR up for this) to deprecate our default avatars that Rohit's team had included. I've notified our consumers.

We just merged both avatar PRs - one also includes a breaking change for the tooltip on the chatbot toggle: patternfly/chatbot#335. We changed it from toolTipLabel to tooltipLabel to match the other props.


#### Component groups

- We added customization support to [error state](/component-groups/error-communication/error-state) via PatternFly empty state props, including a custom icon and title heading level.
