**Update Lingua Franca to v0.4.1**
The update from Lingua Franca v0.2.x to v0.4.x includes few
breaking changes.
- Some API methods have been updated.
- Mycroft-core tests have been updated to reflect improvements in
Lingua Franca's formatting and parsing.
- add LF default lang setting method to config.locale
including warning that this method will change in the future
- Add TODO's for 21.08 - moving more methods to LF
- simplify loading and setting default of languages in Skills service
- Remove unneeded wrappers for Lingua Franca functions
- Fix documentation of format and parse utils
- Fix test warnings
Add Python 2/3 compatibility
==== Tech Notes ====
This allows the main bus, skills and cli to be run in both python 2.7 and
3.5+.
Mainly trivial changes
- syntax for exceptions
- logic for importing correct Queue module
- .iteritems -> future.utils.iteritems when accessing dicts key value
pairs
* Allow audio service to be run in python 3
* Make speech client work with python 3
* Importing of Queue version dependent
* Exception syntax corrected
* Creating sound buffer is version dependant
- Adapt context use range from builtins
- Use compatible next() instead of .next() when walking the skill
directory
* Make CLI Python 3 Compatible
- Use compatible BytesIO instead of StringsIO
- Open files as text instead of binary
- Make sure integer divisions are used
* Make messagebus send compatible
* Fix failing travis
Re-add future 0.16.0
* Make string checks compatible
* basestring doesn't exist in python 3 so it's imported from the "past"
* Fix latest compatibility issues in speech client
- handle urllib
- handle encoding before calling md5
* Make Api.build_json() python 2/3 compatible
This commit officially switches the mycroft-core repository from
GPLv3.0 licensing to Apache 2.0. All dependencies on GPL'ed code
have been removed and we have contacted all previous contributors
with still-existing code in the repository to agree to this change.
Going forward, all contributors will sign a Contributor License
Agreement (CLA) by visiting https://mycroft.ai/cla, then they will
be included in the Mycroft Project's overall Contributor list,
found at: https://github.com/MycroftAI/contributors. This cleanly
protects the project, the contributor and all who use the technology
to build upon.
Futher discussion can be found at this blog post:
https://mycroft.ai/blog/right-license/
This commit also removes all __author__="" from the code. These
lines are painful to maintain and the etiquette surrounding their
maintainence is unclear. Do you remove a name from the list if the
last line of code the wrote gets replaced? Etc. Now all
contributors are publicly acknowledged in the aforementioned repo,
and actual authorship is maintained by Github in a much more
effective and elegant way!
Finally, a few references to "Mycroft AI" were changed to the correct
legal entity name "Mycroft AI Inc."
==== Fixed Issues ====
#403 Update License.md and file headers to Apache 2.0
#400 Update LICENSE.md
==== Documentation Notes ====
Deprecated the ScheduledSkill and ScheduledCRUDSkill classes.
These capabilities have been superceded by the more flexible MycroftSkill
class methods schedule_event(), schedule_repeating_event(), update_event(),
and cancel_event().
==== Tech Notes ====
Allow cached config to be updated from messagebus, from a skill or other connected software. Listens for configuration.patch signal and updates loaded config.
==== Protocol Notes ====
new messagebus signal configuration.patch
This addresses this in several ways:
* Created mechanism to load 'commented' JSON (using '//' or '#' comments on a single line)
* Embedded comments into the mycroft.conf, indicating use, legal values, and where they get overridden
* Create ConfigurationManager.instance() static method to replace ConfigurationManager.get(). This produces more readable code like:
ConfigurationManager.instance().get("value") instead of ConfigurationManager.get().get("value")
* Made _ConfigurationListener 'private'
* docstring'ed things
* working on a client for wi-fi setup
* added refactored code, ready to integrate

The 1980s birthed a new form of interaction between computers and users. For the first time computers became capable of understanding the most basic form of human communication - pointing and grunting. The mouse and the GUI revolutionized computing and made computers accessible to the masses.
We have now entered a third era. We are rapidly approaching a time when computer systems will understand human language and respond using the most natural form of human communication – speech.
This is an important development. Some might even call it revolutionary.
Despite its importance, however, the technologies that will underpin this new method of interaction are the property of major tech firms who don't necessarily have the public's best interests at heart.
Not anymore.
Meet Mycroft – the worlds first open source natural language platform. Mycroft understands human language and responds with speech. It is being designed to run on anything from a phone to an automobile and will change the way we interact with open source technologies in profound ways.
Our goal here at Mycroft is to improve this technology to the point that when you interact with the software it is impossible to tell if you are talking to a human or a machine.
This initial release of the Mycroft software represents a significant effort by the Mycroft community to give the open source world access to this important technology. We are all hoping that the software will be useful to the public and will help to usher in a new era of human machine interaction.
Our community welcomes everyone to use Mycroft, improve the software and contribute back to the project. With your help and support we can truly make Mycroft an AI for everyone.
