==== 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
-Notification on dependency changes by comparing hashes of current requirements.txt and dev_setup script and last time the dev_setup.sh was run
- Update padatious to v0.2.2
make message parameter on intent handler optional
==== Tech Notes ====
intent handlers that don't use the message bus message no longer need to have the argument so a simple intent handler could be
def handle_yahoo(self):
self.speak('Yahoo')
==== 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.
The mycroft.sh script uses the 'screen' command to run the various
processes that make up Mycroft Core. When they are stopped with
"./mycroft.sh stop", it was using the screen 'quit' command. This
ends the process abruptly, not allowing services to shutdown
cleanly.
This changes it to send a shutdown request first, equivalent of a
Ctrl-C. If the service doesn't shutdown after 2 seconds it is
then killed.
This specifically prevents issues where a skill expected and did
not receive a call to the shutdown() method.
==== 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 ====
Wheb a language without time rules were defaulted back to us-english
time rules the class was instanciated prematurely. Now the default
returns a class and not an object.

==== Tech Notes ====
io.open is the default implementation of open for python3 and handles
encodings in a better way defaulting to utf8

==== 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
==== Fixed Issues ====
the expect_response pararmeter is now correctly passed along to
self.speak()
==== Tech Notes ====
NONE - explain new algorithms in detail, tool changes, etc.
==== Documentation Notes ====
NONE - description of a new feature or notes on behavior changes
==== Localization Notes ====
NONE - point to new strings, language specific functions, etc.
==== Environment Notes ====
NONE - new package requirements, new files being written to disk, etc.
==== Protocol Notes ====
NONE - message types added or changed, new signals, APIs, etc.
==== Fixed Issues ====

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.
==== Localization Notes ====
NONE - point to new strings, language specific functions, etc.
==== Environment Notes ====

==== Tech Notes ====
Allow cached config to be updated from messagebus, from a skill or other connected software. Listens for configuration.patch signal and updates loaded config.
==== Protocol Notes ====
new messagebus signal configuration.patch
