Add the insertion of mycroft-core in the virtualenv created by
dev_setup.sh. It becomes part of the python2.7 site-packages.
This is needed for running mycroft-core pieces directly from
the command line, after performing "workon mycroft".
==== 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.
Clean-up of many things about MSM:
* Improve help message, documenting all options
* Make the DEFAULT_SKILLS list readable (wrapped lines)
* Prefix messages with ERROR or WARNING
* Fix return codes, they can't be > 255. 301 and 303 are now 201 and 203
* Cache list of skills (instead of hitting web repeatedly)
* Improve code spacing, comments
* Improve format of output messages
* Sort skills from 'list' and 'search' commands
* Return result codes (was always 0)
==== Tech Notes ====
The "install" skill will be updated to use result codes instead
of searching for specific message strings. It was already
broken due to mismatch of the success message string.
==== Localization Notes ====
With error codes, output strings are less important
==== Fixed Issues ====
984 - install_mimic.sh -- Mimic shouldn't have to clone all branches
==== Tech Notes ====
This modification clones the mimic repository with a depth of one in
order to reduce download times and local size. A side affect might be
that this would make it harder for developers to checkout different
mimic branches, as they would have to tech them first.
The code that detected existing mimic installs and asked for
confirmation before rebuilding had a few holes:
* A source install of mimic under the mycroft-core tree was missed
* Hitting "enter" or "spacebar" would be interpreted as "yes, rebuild",
which didn't match the prompt.
==== 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

#966
==== Tech Notes ====
Adds a basic manual page for msm, required for packaging for some OS'es
==== Documentation Notes ====
NONE
==== Localization Notes ====
Might need translation at some point
==== Environment Notes ====
msm/man1/msm should be copied into the manual man1 directory
(/usr/local/share/man/man1) and mandb needs to be run after a package
install.
==== Protocol Notes ====
NONE
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.

Add intent fallback system
==== Fixed Issues ====
NONE - replace with issue numbers, e.g. #123, #304
==== Tech Notes ====
NONE - explain new algorithms in detail, tool changes, etc.
==== Documentation Notes ====
The FallbackSkill needs to be documented in detail for skill creators.
==== Environment Notes ====
NONE
==== Protocol Notes ====
multi_utterance_intent_failure replaced with complete_intent_failure
==== Fixed Issues ====
#969
==== Tech Notes ====
The criteria for excluding messages were inverted and excluded all
messages containing 'mycroft.audio.service'. This criteria has been
fixed.
==== Documentation Notes ====
NONE - things like description of a new feature or notes on behavior
changes
==== Localization Notes ====
NONE - point out new strings, functions needing international versions,
etc.
==== Environment Notes ====
NONE - new package requirements, new files being written to disk,
etc.
==== Protocol Notes ====
NONE - message types added or changed, new signals, etc.
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!
==== Fixed Issues ====
#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.
