* Separate tests of LocalConf into new test class
* Do not overwrite configs with malformed json
If a config file is loaded and is invalid saves to that file will not be
possible until it's manually restored. The store accepts a force flag to
override this protection.
The method returns True if the store succeeded so call sites can
verbally report the issue as well.
This replaces save_*_path with usage of the xdg_*_home when handling
config files. This means the config folders will not be created unless
actually written to.
The check for whether a directory needs to be created is handled behind
a lock to avoid race conditions
- Add TODO for 22.02 to remove the compatibility code
- Make Warning a single Log statement
- mycroft-config script now uses XDG-environment variable
- Remove redundant code
- Replace hard coded references to ~/.config
- Explicitly remove new path before move of "filesystem" (if needed)
In cases where the location can't be determined by the device or a
config setting, the location variable wouldn't exist but it would still
be referenced.
This makes sure the variable always exists, but if not changed is equal
to None
Major refactoring of the skills startup sequence
- Restructure to a less nested structure
- Remove usage of globals by wrapping a lot of state variables into a class this allows for things like caching a negative pairing status throughout the startup process
Enclosures
* Create a mechanism to instantiate unique Enclosure classes, depending on the platform found in the SYSTEM mycroft.conf
* Implement a generic Enclosure, which support the new GUI protocol
* Implement a Mark 1 Enclosure (expects the serial connection to an Arduino)
* Implement the start of a Mark II enclosure
* Implement a generic enclosure (no screen)
* Implement the GUI announcement and protocol basics
MycroftSkill
* Implement the basis of the GUI-controlling interfaces. Namely:
- MycroftSkill.show_text()
- MycroftSkill.show_image()
- MycroftSkill.show_html()
- MycroftSkill.show_page()
- MycroftSkill.gui to set values for page displays.
Configuration
* Add "gui_websocket" to the mycroft.config.py
Lots of minor fixes including, sorting dicts, making ints of strings,
MagicMock file spec and some other things
A couple of issues in the mycroft-core code base were identified and
fixed. Most notably the incorrect version check for python three when
adding basestring.
Update .travis.yml
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
==== Tech Notes ====
Before the refactoring of the configuration system the
ConfigurationManager allowed loading config files directly from strings.
This commit restores that functionality
Several attempts to connect to the backend fail before pairing has
been completed, which was producing errors that prevented the
messagebus and audio services from starting up.
Now the DeviceApi().is_subscriber property returns False if the
check fails, assuming unpaired == not subscribed.
Also stopped logging the call stack on the HTTPError exception, it
made an expected situation look like a major crash.
==== Tech Notes ====
- removed old main.py
- replace reference to ConfigurationManager in api tests
- reset configuration after use in configuration test
- Pep-8 issue
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.
