In code like this:
self.speak_dialog("something")
mycroft.audio.wait_while_speaking()
It was possible that the speaking of "something" would take longer to
start than the 0.1 seconds that was built into the wait_while_speaking().
The definition of this behavior is slightly fuzzy, but this is definitely
a case where the expectation is that previous request for speech would
start and complete. For now, I have just bumped the minimum wait to
0.3 seconds.
In the long run we might consider tracking specific speak requests and
generating a notification when that request has been serviced. Then the
skill could automatically hold off until that request has been serviced.
But the basic skill code won't have to change to make this happen, so
this additional sleep is adequate for today.
Also snuck in a minor change to a comment.
==== Tech Notes ====
Previous approach did not work as websocket client was not running, this
uses the standalone send functionality recently added to send a single
message.
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These capabilities have been superceded by the more flexible MycroftSkill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().
