Much of the code used "en-us" as the default value when not specified.
This limited the internationalization potential. Changing the default
to None and adds the ability to define the default lang code from other
locations in code. E.g.
```python
from mycroft.util.lang import set_default_lang
set_default_lang("en-us")
print("English date: "+nice_date(dt))
set_default_lang("de-de")
print("German date: "+nice_date(dt))
```
This allows easier localization of Skills by having the framework set the default without any changes necessary by the Skill writers.
Other minor changes:
* Changed the default return value of get_gender*() to None instead of False
* Split ADJUST into ADJUST and SET
* Use enum names instead of values.
* Add properties to CommonIoTSkill
* property -> attribute to avoid conflict with builtin
* Add increase and decrease actions
* Fix copy/paste error
Merge consecutive .*'s into a single .*
The process for "{{modifier}} {{precip}} is expected on {{day}}" will first
replace the {{}} by .* as previously:
".* .* is expected on .*"
then a second pass is made replacing any consecutive .* resulting in
".* is expected on .*"
The restore_volume would previously unpause the service even if the user just asked for pausing playback.
This separates the paused flag from the pausing/resuming action so lowering/restoring volume doesn't affect the logical pausing state and can check it to determine if lowering/restoring is needed/wanted.
This adds a very simple mechanism for pausing and resuming audio streams
that are actively playing. The process is suspended and resumed when
requested.
This also uses that same method to implement lower_volume()/restore_volume() for simple "ducking" of audio.
Mimic2 voices has several issues:
* Numeric generation was all goofed up for decimal numbers. It was
independently doing number to speech for the values before and after
the period on a decimal number. E.g. 1.100 became "one.one hundred".
Removed local normalization altogether since it is handled
correctly on the Mimic2 server now.
* Sentence splitting was being applied in the middle of things like
numbers or abbreviations. E.g. "I.B.M."
* Chunker algorithms were making unnecessary copies of string arrays
While in there I also:
* Removed several unused imports
* Cleaned up docstrings
* Prefixed private helpers with _
* Added debug logging of mimic2 request text
Padatious was accepting fairly low confidence matches (0.5). This
would match a phrase such as "Where is the Empire State Building?" to the
intent "Where were you born?" (Which is a 0.54 match)
Now there are two passes mad on the Padatious fallback. The first is
looking for high confidence matches (> 0.8). Then other fallbacks -- such
as the CommonQuery fallbacks -- have an opportunity to consume the
utterance. If they don't consume it, Padatious is invoked again with
looser confidence before finally invoking the Unknown fallback.
The .gitignore wasn't ignoring the symlink that would be created in
dev_setup.sh to point to /opt/mycroft/skills. The gitignore treats
what looks like an absolute path "/skills" as relative to the
repo.
This commit add the initial translations of core functions for format
numbers: nice_number_es, pronounce_number_es and nice_time_es.
==== Localization Notes ====
NONE - Castillian (Spain's spanish)
Now the eyes go to a khaki color and "< < < LOADING < < <" displays
during the skill startup. When Padatious finishes the first training
we now emit a "mycroft.ready" on the messagebus.
A change to the skill_mark_1 to look for "mycroft.ready" instead of
"mycroft.skills.initialized" provides a good visual change to show that
it is ready for use.
The deprecation warning was firing off at the load of every skill when
the decorators are being iterated through by internal code (which
includes the self.config with an @property). Add check for these
special cases to not show a warning.
The scoring for CommonPlay would favor skills that responded with overly long
matches. E.g. "Huey Lewis and the News" would be considered a better fit than
just "News" for the request "Play the News"
* Deprecate self.config in skills
Skills should contain their own settings, the self.config concept is being
deprecated.
Also removed the defaults set for several old MycroftAI skills. The 19.02
version of these Skills initializes the default values using:
```python
self.settings["key"] = default
```
* Update padatious config to work with the config property.
* Run emitter using threadpool
This moves the thread pool from the websocket client into the eventemitter allowing each registered function to run in a separate thread and not just each event.
This speeds up cases where there is a one to many call such as the common play framework and the upcomming common query framework.
* Add unit tests for threaded event emitter
* Add standard header
* Add standard header
