==== Tech Notes ====
The retry timer doubles on each failed connect attempt but was never
restored to the original time causing an unncessary long wait time. This
restores the timer on each sucessful connection.
==== Tech Notes ====
Setting the convert_rate enforces the output bitrate of the FLAC audio.
This requires update of speechrecognition (3.7.1) and PyAudio (0.2.11)
==== Environment Notes ====
PyAudio => 0.2.11
speechrecognition => 3.7.1
==== Tech Notes ====
Autoloading configuration in submodules is bad for testing purposes and
should be reduced. It takes time and adds the possibility of altering
the base conditions for the tests
- mycroft/skills/core: global configuration moved to main.py
- mycroft/messagebus/client/ws.py global config moved to __init__ of
Websocket
- client/speech/mic.py global config moved to ResponsiveRecognizer
__init__() method
- client/enclosure/display_manager.py
- get_ipc_directory() called in methods where used
==== Tech Notes ====
Add a wait until skills have been loaded once before checking for
internet connection. If not an "I'm sorry I didn't catch that" may be
emitted since the pairing skill isn't loaded.
==== Tech Notes ====
- Sanity check Message in handle_add_context(), 'word' needs to be a
string before calling into the context manager.
- Sanity check Message in handle_remove_context(), make sure a context
keyword was received before trying to remove.
- Docstrings
- Suppress exceptions while injecting context
==== Tech Notes ====
Listens for 'mycroft.paired' and will unmute the mic when this occurs.
This was handled by the pairing skill but for clarity it should be
unmuted at the same place.
==== Tech Notes ====
Mute was previously a simple boolean meaning that if two parts of the
code wanted to mute it it would unmute the mic as soon as the first of
the two pieces of code wanted to unmute.
For example tts output will mute the mic and unmute it when the audio
output is complete. During first start up of a mark-1 the enclosure
mutes the mic and expects it to be muted until the pairing is complete.
This doesn't work. The mic get's unmuted as soon as the first sentence
has been spoken.
This counts the number of times mute is called and will not unmute until
as many unmute calls has been made.
==== Tech Notes ====
isSpeaking was lowered as soon a the tts had synthesized the audio and
not when the output finished. This commit moves the signal
raising/lowering to the tts instead of the 'mycroft.speak' handler.
==== Tech Notes ====
A single thread handling scheduled events. The skills interact with this
using the self.schedule_event() self.schedule_repeating_event
self.update_event() and self.remove_event().
This is an improvement over scheduledSkill since each skill creates
their own Thread and has to handle storing/restoring scheduled events
between starts.
All pending events are stored in a json file at shutdown for future
sessions.
==== Documentation Notes ====
Needs to be documented
==== Protocol Notes ====
new messagebus event handlers:
- mycroft.scheduler.schedule_event
- mycroft.scheduler.remove_event
- mycroft.scheduler.update_event
==== Tech Notes ====
To ensure that the skills have the same id when loading the id was
replaced with a hash of the skill directory. (as long the skill isn't
renamed). This is useful for things like the event_scheduler where
skills are referenced using the skill id and has info being persistent
over restarts
==== Tech Notes ====
Skills weren't cleanly shutdown. This ensures that skills are shutdown more cleanly and that shutdown procedure will not be interrupted by broken shutdown methods.
Shutdown of reload thread fixed
Unused globals removed
==== Tech Notes ====
After an intent has been handled the settings will be stored if any changes are detected.
A force option was added to the .store method of the settings class which always writes the dict to disk even if no changes has been made. This is used during shutdown.
==== Tech Notes ====
Previously the _dir parameter was poplated from the skill loader between calling __init__() and initialize(). The skill path can however be gleaned from with in the __init__() of MycroftSkill.
Doing this makes the settings accessable from __init__() as well and will allow a more straight forward usage.
==== Tech Notes ====
Adds the most commonly used methods and classes in more convenient location
Changing from mycroft.skills.core import MycroftSkill to simply from mycroft import MycroftSkill
==== Documentation Notes ====
The skill tutorial should be updated to use these shorter import paths.
Several changes to CLI behavior, all minor:
* Inverted the behavior or PgUp/PgDn. I think it was just wrong
* Added "oldest" and "newest" indicators to the log listing to
simplify finding your way inside the logs
* Added support for _not_ scrolling when in the middle of the log
output. It will now only auto-scroll when already at the front
of the log so you keep seeing new messages automatically.
* Added a heading for the mic output level
* Limited the mic output level to just the size of the bottom
area (previously it was proportional to the screen height)
* FIX: Changed the default filter string for viseme
* FIX: The saving of settings was broken
* Ran autopep8 which added a few bits of whitespace here and there

==== Tech Notes ====
When a one_of intent is hit the intent returned by adapt doesn't look like normal require/optional intent parameters. This PR adds a check for entities before trying to accessing them when trying to update context.
This is a temporary workaround while it's determined if the adapt behaviour is correct or should be modified to conform to the normal format. (See issue 66 in the adapt repo), but in any case it's a good sanity check

This PR corrects a couple of small issues led to skills being left in memory when.
- Handler for `stop.mycroft` weren't removed from event emitter when
skill shut down. Now is added using `self.add_event()`
- registered intent list `self.events` created a circular reference that
python couldn't resolve a live so this is now deleted at shutdown
- Timers in scheduled skills weren't terminated properly. Now if the
timer is alive it will be joined
==== Documentation Notes ====
Registring event handlers should use `self.add_event` instead of
`self.emitter.on()` To make sure they are cleaned up when skill is
terminated.

==== Fixed Issues ====
#1001
==== Tech Notes ====
Previously the skills were reloaded a couple of times during startup
since updates of the .pyc file and possible the settings.json file were
made.
This commit adds a bit finer control over which files to check.
Currently all files in skill root except ones ending in .pyc and the
settings.json are checked along with all visible subdirectories
The most recently used skills now have an opportunity to preview all
utterances before they hit the intent system.
==== Tech Notes ====
Skills get a preview in the order of activation -- most recent first --
and if they can consume the utterance or ignore it. If consumed,
processing stops. If ignored, the next most recent skill gets a shot
at it. Finally, if no skill consumes it the intent system takes over,
running as it always has.
Skills remain "active" for 5 minutes after last use.
A skill achieves this by implementing the converse() method, e.g.
def def converse(self, utterances, lang="en-us"):
if .... :
return True # handled, consume utterance
else:
return False # not for this skill, pass it along
==== Tech Notes ====
IntentBuilder objects always need to be built into an Intent to be
usable in mycroft. Since this is always neccessary the code doing this
can be moved so users don't need to do this step.
This commit makes the `register_intent()` method check the handler
argument type, if it's an IntentBuilder object it builds the Intent, if
it's an Intent it continues as normal, if it's any other type it will
raise a ValueError
==== Tech Notes ====
Downloader() is a Thread subclass starting and handling a download. The
property done and status is set when the download is completed or
failed.
download manager ensuring continuation of started downloads (per process)
complete_action, a function to be called after download is complete can be

==== Tech Notes ====
The DeviceApi now has a `get_subscription()` method returning the entire
subscription structure and the property `is_subscriber` returning True
if the device is connected to a paying account and False if it's a free
account.
==== Tech Notes ====
pulse_lower_volume() scans through the list of running input sinks and
reduces the volume to 30% of original volume skipping over the stream
named 'mycroft-voice'
pulse_restore_volume() restores the volume again.
If activated with the 'pulseaudio' config parameter they will be called
when mycroft starts/stops listening and starts/stops speaking
==== Environment Notes ====
The Audio->pulseaudio configuration parameter can now be set to 'lower'
to activate this feature
Bug fix proposed for success wake-word recording.
Opt: Suggestion to change the save location of recording files as well.
Otherwise, the user could potentially get the permission denial.

when the audio configuration option "pulseaudio" is set to mute running
audio streams will be muted while mycroft is speaking and while mycroft
is listening.
Chromecast can be manually added with a backend entry with type set to "chromecast" or the service can autodetect all chromecast and register them with their names by setting the Audio configuration parameter autodetect-chromecast set to true.
Currently this implementation is very basic and is using the default media controller. This limits the usable uri's to http(s), adding support for local files and hopefully more services will be added later.
The user can now specify which backend to use to play media. default the keywords are the name of the backend (vlc, mpg123, mopidy) but can be set with the config.
Example:
audio.mopidy.name = "livingroom"
A possible user interaction might be
- "Hey mycroft, play the news in the livingroom"
The detection is very basic and not very elegant but works as a proof of concept.
Three backends have been added, mopidy, vlc and mpg123. Depending on uri type an apporpriate service is selected when media playback is requested. (for example mopidy service can handle spotify://... and local://...)
A playback Control skill can pause, resume, stop change track, etc any started media. So for example if the NPR news skill used this after starting playing the news the user can say "Hey Mycroft, pause" and the playback will pause. The playback control also handles stuff like lowering the volume of the playback if mycroft is asked another question.
Currently the different backend runs under the playbeck control, this was made most for convenience and the services should be moved in the future.
Usage:
The user needs to import the audioservice interface
`from mycroft.skills.audioservice import AudioService`
and initialize an instance in the skill `initialize` method
`self.audio_service = AudioService(self.emitter)`
Then playing an uri is as simple as
`self.audio_service.play(uri)`
TODO:
* Configuration (Alias for the different backends, service specific config, active services, etc.)
* Manual selection of backend (This is prepared in the audioservice interface biut not implemented)
* More feature complete audio service interface (playback control, get trackname etc)
* Separate audio services from the playback control
* Probably lots more

This is because this will break wolfra alpha skill unless they update

This reverts commit 6ca4161335.
* Create new FallbackSkill base class for implementing fallback behavior
Also removes multi utterance intent fail. Only makes sense to emit an intent_failure regardless of the amount of intents
0.8.17 or earlier build. A Series of Unfortunate Events leads to two instances
of the mycroft-skills service running. This causes double-answers, which is
confusing to everyone. The root problem that lead to this is corrected in
release 0.8.18, but resolving it in packaging is ridiculously difficult.
So, we'll do this simple hack for the interim. It is harmless and useless if
not running in the Mark 1 environment.
Adds the ExtractDateTime parse function from Christopher. When imported from mycroft/util/parse.py, it'll take a sentence like "What's the weather like 5 weeks from next Wednesday?" and will extract a python datetime object for that date.
* Added requirements.txt change for importing dateutil
* Check queue empty with self.queue.empty() instead of len()
* Add error logging of exceptions in tts thread.
* Limit the number of audio_output_start messages.
recognizer_loop:audio_output_start message will only be sent if the
queue has been empty since last loop.
* The allow_timeout value was tested poorly, preventing it from actually doing anything
* Upped the number of arp/ping test failures from 3 to 6 when validating the connection. This makes falsely detecting a wifi setup disconnect pretty unlikely.
The same websocket client object is often used between many different
parts of the software. (for example skills) This will reduce the risk
that all listeners are removed for all events by mistake. It it still
possible toi do this by calling
`WebsocketClient.ws.remove_all_listers()` if there would be need for
this mechanism.
Improved the way the button press is handled. Now the listener gives the rest
of the system a moment to consume the button press before it interprets it
as a request to begin listening.
Also replaced the use of the "buttonPress" signal when "expect_response"
was indicated with an utterance. Now the signal "startListening" is
created, differentiating it from a buttonPress.
This implements the handler for the Mark 1 menu item SSH > BLOCK (the inverse of SSH > ALLOW)
* Added handler for "unit.disable-ssh" on the serial line. This turns around and emits "mycroft.disable.ssh" on the messagebus.
* Removed the automatic reboot, just let the user know it will be different after a restart
* Made the spoken message translatable
* Changed mycroft.dialog.get() to not require the "lang" parameter. It will default to the mycroft.conf value.
