==== 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
supplied to the downloader
==== 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.

Some exception code was attempting to use the LOGGER, but one had
not been created for this file. So when the exception occurred
it caused a crash.
NOTE: We need to standardize on log/LOG/LOGGER!

#960
==== Tech Notes ====
The messagebus handler for "mycroft.stop" halts and exits if an
exception occurs in any methods that are registered to that name. The
handler executes the stop() method that's provided by the user and is
not verified. To ensure that other skills are unaffected exceptions in
the user provided method are caught.
