The audio service could not handle https URLs. VLC can support them,
so https was added to its supported_uris. Additionally, the play( )
function in the audio service could not actually correctly search the
backends for a supported uri, so the code there has been fixed
When (re)booting a Mark 1 unit will show rolling eyes until it reaches
a "ready" state. This happens by sending a command to the Arduino.
There is also code that prevents sending commands our the serial port
if not running on a Mark 1. In certain situations, the message
indicating that the Mark 1 Arduino was found was posted to the
messagebus before it was fully open. When this was missed, the system
didn't think it was on a Mark 1 and the command to stop the eyes from
rolling (and for further interactions with the Mark 1 hardware) were
not sent.
The Mark 1 Arduino detection is now triggered when the messagebus
'open' notification is generated rather than when the object is
constructed.

#967 - Eyes never stop spinning on startup (Mark 1)
==== Fixed Issues ====
One exemple is reloading pairing skill after skill update (30-60 seconds)
results in a new pairing code being generated.
==== Tech Notes ====
Now compare individual skill modification dates and not a global last
modified skill.
Indentation added in a recent PR (#1152) introduced a shell script
syntax error on a long line with continuations. Spaces are not
allowed before the subsequent line's double-quotes.

This fixes at least a potential issue with the Mark 1 boot sequence.
The system posts a "system.version" message then registers a
listener for the response. There is a chance that the response
sneaks in before the handler is registered. This just reorders the
sequence of that code.

ISSUE #967 - Eyes never stop spinning on startup (Mark 1)
==== Tech Notes ====
The msm lock wasn't checked before reloading skills allowing skills to be loaded before msm wasn't finished installing requirements.
A check was added to ensure this along with a separate lock enforcing the handling of block_msm and release_msm in the correct order. If not the update procedure could cause a deadlock.
The interval was previously not updated after success (unless speak was set to
true). This caused the skills to continuously update.
Also set speak = false as default since that's the most commonly used
case right now.
Significantly reworked the loading/updating of Skills. Unified
all management under a single SkillManager class. This class
runs as a thread that initially loads, upgrades (via MSM)
and reloads skills.
Removed the independent threads that were being run. The skill
updating still happens once an hour, but works in conjunction
with the scan to reload modified skills. Also added messagebus
notifications from MSM so mycroft-core can pause reloading
skills until the installation is complete.
Added a new mycroft.messagebus.send module to allow command
line interaction with the messagebus, e.g.:
python -m mycroft.messagebus.send mycroft.wifi.start
python -m mycroft.messagebus.send speak '{"utterance":"hello"}'
==== Fixed Issues ====
MSM installs that have PIP dependencies were failing, as the
load would occur after code was retrieved but before PIP install
completed. Restart was required to load new skills.
==== Tech Notes ====
TODO: Change the way we manage modules. The auto-load of the
remote configuration for the module is silly, slow and wasteful.
I made the WebsocketClient.build_url() method static in
anticipation of being able to do this more efficiently when the
submodule load doesn't hit the remove API automatically.
==== Localization Notes ====
Modified 'sorry I couldn't install default skills' message.
==== Protocol Notes ====
MSM now generates:
msm.updating
msm.installing
msm.install.succeeded { "skill" : name }
msm.install.failed { "skill" : name, "error" : code }
msm.installed
msm.updated
msm.removing
msm.remove.succeeded { "skill" : name }
msm.remove.failed { "skill" : name, "error" : code }
msm.removed
An update can now be forced by posting 'skillmanager.update' to the
messagebus.
added capability to auto upload changes from settingsmeta.json to home.mycroft.ai
==== Documentation Notes ====
If a developer make changes to the settingsmeta.json, then this will be auto uploaded to home.mycroft.ai
==== Protocol Notes ====
hash and uuid are now stored as variables in files located in ~/.mycroft/skills/{skill-name}
Fix log autocomplete
==== Tech Notes ====
Due to the use of setattr(), IDEs like PyCharm couldn't use autocomplete on the LOG class. This unrolls the loop so that the logging attributes appear in the autocomplete menu.
This commit officially switches the mycroft-core repository from
GPLv3.0 licensing to Apache 2.0. All dependencies on GPL'ed code
have been removed and we have contacted all previous contributors
with still-existing code in the repository to agree to this change.
Going forward, all contributors will sign a Contributor License
Agreement (CLA) by visiting https://mycroft.ai/cla, then they will
be included in the Mycroft Project's overall Contributor list,
found at: https://github.com/MycroftAI/contributors. This cleanly
protects the project, the contributor and all who use the technology
to build upon.
Futher discussion can be found at this blog post:
https://mycroft.ai/blog/right-license/
This commit also removes all __author__="" from the code. These
lines are painful to maintain and the etiquette surrounding their
maintainence is unclear. Do you remove a name from the list if the
last line of code the wrote gets replaced? Etc. Now all
contributors are publicly acknowledged in the aforementioned repo,
and actual authorship is maintained by Github in a much more
effective and elegant way!
Finally, a few references to "Mycroft AI" were changed to the correct
legal entity name "Mycroft AI Inc."
==== Fixed Issues ====
#403 Update License.md and file headers to Apache 2.0
#400 Update LICENSE.md
==== Documentation Notes ====
Deprecated the ScheduledSkill and ScheduledCRUDSkill classes.
These capabilities have been superceded by the more flexible MycroftSkill
class methods schedule_event(), schedule_repeating_event(), update_event(),
and cancel_event().
