If you are using the utterance automation testing for the first time, you must logout and login to your Alexa account and then Rebuild the skill.

In the Intent Detail screen, admin users can choose the NLP using checkboxes. During the deployment, based on the NLP selected, the intent is deployed only to that provider.
While adding utterances, Orbita allows all the characters that Alexa and Google allow. The characters that are not supported by either provider are stripped while publishing the interaction model.
Orbita extends its support to Dialogflow Events, in the Intent page.
When the audio property is set to false in the Bot-in-Parser, the native audio will not generate audio, even if Google is not generating audio.
The session object sent to the client is made available in the subsequent request payloads.       Â
Minor changes were made to the Chatbot UI. The user can navigate the chatbot using keyboard navigation keys.
When a chatbot user loses internet connectivity, the chatbot displays a status message. For more info, see How do I configure Chatbot
A new input type is introduced in Flowstudio, allowing users to input text that skips NLP. See How do I use Free Text input in Flow Studio?
Introduced Reminder directive which will let the admin user send a prompt reply if the user does not reply for a predefined time. See How do I use directives?
To accommodate annotations in Orbita, the project export JSON has changed. The sample format is as follows.
