==== 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.
* BUGFIX: The big bug was calling is_paired() during wake_word_in_audio(). When not paired, that call hit the server, taking about a second. Since it happened multiple times a second, the audio buffers got backed up hugely. This resulted in weird behavior later as the buffers get cleared out.
* Added mycroft.api.has_been_paired(), which just looks for the pairing key (it does not validate it is still active with the server, like is_paired())
* The enclosure now checks for internet connectivity and kicks off the wifisetup process, not the wifisetup client itself.
* During the "onboarding" process, the microphone is muted using the new "mycroft.mic.mute" message. After pairing completes, the "mycroft.mic.unmute" is expected to be sent from the pairing skill. Unmuting again after a re-pairing is harmless.
* mute_and_speak() is smart enough to not unmute itself when complete if muted before
* util.check_for_signal() now accepts -1 as the lifetime. This means it never times out.
* util.stop_speaking() is more intelligent about shutting down the spoken text (including text that has been split at periods) and visemes
* Added a mycroft.api.is_paired() method
* Added mycroft.util.is_speaking and mycroft.util.wait_while_speaking() methods
* RESET now waits for the spoken notice to complete
* Stopped the "Checking for updates" and "Skills updated" prompts (commented out for now, probably will eliminate)
* Wifi setup filters out hidden ("x00") networks
* Visemes should keep up better if they get behind (will skip)
* Mimic is now searched for on the users path
* Onboarding process:
- wifi setup starts automatically
- User is walked through the process
- wake word and button pressing are ignored
- At end, a short tutorial is given
Developers do not expect a function called "find" to execute an API request, this is a "get". (I verified this with several other devs.) Renamed and added a Deprecated comment for now. Also:
* Added missing standard mycroft-core copyright.
* Added docstrings for basic objects and the STTApi in particular.
