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.
==== Fixed Issues ====
#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.
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.
==== Fixed Issues ====
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().
Fix configuration manager saving
==== Tech Notes ====
Fixes ConfigurationManager.save() method. Previously incorrect use of dict update method resulted in empty config. Now the saved dict is recursively merged to only update affected fields.
==== Tech Notes ====
Add mycroft.skill.handler.start and mycroft.skill.handler.complete to fallback handler. handler in data field will be called "fallback" upon completion the used handler will be reported in the "fallback_handler" data entry.
* fix
* pep8
* fallback handler name
==== Tech Notes ====
If cancel + add event messages arrive at roughly the same time the add
would be overridden by the cancel. More intuitive to handle cancel first
and add new arrived events after.
==== Tech Notes ====
update_event and cancel_event did not use a name unique to the skill
forcing the user to build it themselves. Now the unique name is
constructed in the method _unique_name() for all event scheduling
methods.
==== Tech Notes ====
when using multiple decorators on a method inspect will return incorrect
values despite @wraps. This causes the intent handler to fail to
execute.
@decorator can't really be of help here since it doesn't handle
decorators with arguments (as far as I can understand)
This is a workaround using the fact that the argument count will be zero
on methods with multiple decorators, and basically tries the usual
signatures
==== Fixed Issues ====
NONE - replace with associated issue numbers, e.g. #123, #304
==== Tech Notes ====
Adds a function to check if the core version is newer than a given
version string.
* Add automatic uploading of wake words and learning option in enclosure client
* Spawn new thread and remove ping
Spawning a new thread eliminates the need to ping and eliminates additional latency. In addition, the return code of scp is now used to determine whether to delete the wake word
* Increment enclosure version number
This extends the Command Line Interpreter with two new features:
* Add command
:find 'string'
Only show log lines that match the given string, including
newly incoming log lines. Hit Ctrl+X to end the search.
Ctrl+F works as a shortcut.
* Add command
:history #
Change the change history height to # lines. This setting
stays across sessions.
==== Tech Notes ====
- Number of callers is now handled in the recognizer loop to make sure
status isn't lost when new settings is applied.
- Adds a force_unmute method to make sure the device is completely
unmuted when the user presses the top button.
==== Tech Notes ====
The handler name (including class if available) is sent along in the
data field. If an exception is raised an exception field in the data is
added with minor information of the problem.
==== Tech Notes ====
Add message bus messages when a skill handler is starting to execute and
a separate message for when skill handler completes. Usable if grouping
speech in certain clients for example. Can also be of use for audio
ducking and similar processes.
==== Protocol Notes ====
Adds the following messages:
mycroft.skill.handler.start
mycroft.skill.handler.complete
==== Tech Notes ====
The retry timer doubles on each failed connect attempt but was never
restored to the original time causing an unncessary long wait time. This
restores the timer on each sucessful connection.
==== Tech Notes ====
Setting the convert_rate enforces the output bitrate of the FLAC audio.
This requires update of speechrecognition (3.7.1) and PyAudio (0.2.11)
==== Environment Notes ====
PyAudio => 0.2.11
speechrecognition => 3.7.1
==== Tech Notes ====
Autoloading configuration in submodules is bad for testing purposes and
should be reduced. It takes time and adds the possibility of altering
the base conditions for the tests
- mycroft/skills/core: global configuration moved to main.py
- mycroft/messagebus/client/ws.py global config moved to __init__ of
Websocket
- client/speech/mic.py global config moved to ResponsiveRecognizer
__init__() method
- client/enclosure/display_manager.py
- get_ipc_directory() called in methods where used
==== Tech Notes ====
Add a wait until skills have been loaded once before checking for
internet connection. If not an "I'm sorry I didn't catch that" may be
emitted since the pairing skill isn't loaded.
==== Tech Notes ====
- Sanity check Message in handle_add_context(), 'word' needs to be a
string before calling into the context manager.
- Sanity check Message in handle_remove_context(), make sure a context
keyword was received before trying to remove.
- Docstrings
- Suppress exceptions while injecting context
==== Tech Notes ====
Listens for 'mycroft.paired' and will unmute the mic when this occurs.
This was handled by the pairing skill but for clarity it should be
unmuted at the same place.
==== Tech Notes ====
Mute was previously a simple boolean meaning that if two parts of the
code wanted to mute it it would unmute the mic as soon as the first of
the two pieces of code wanted to unmute.
For example tts output will mute the mic and unmute it when the audio
output is complete. During first start up of a mark-1 the enclosure
mutes the mic and expects it to be muted until the pairing is complete.
This doesn't work. The mic get's unmuted as soon as the first sentence
has been spoken.
This counts the number of times mute is called and will not unmute until
as many unmute calls has been made.
==== Tech Notes ====
isSpeaking was lowered as soon a the tts had synthesized the audio and
not when the output finished. This commit moves the signal
raising/lowering to the tts instead of the 'mycroft.speak' handler.
==== Tech Notes ====
A single thread handling scheduled events. The skills interact with this
using the self.schedule_event() self.schedule_repeating_event
self.update_event() and self.remove_event().
This is an improvement over scheduledSkill since each skill creates
their own Thread and has to handle storing/restoring scheduled events
between starts.
All pending events are stored in a json file at shutdown for future
sessions.
==== Documentation Notes ====
Needs to be documented
==== Protocol Notes ====
new messagebus event handlers:
- mycroft.scheduler.schedule_event
- mycroft.scheduler.remove_event
- mycroft.scheduler.update_event
==== 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 ====
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.
==== 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.
==== Fixed Issues ====
#1027
==== Tech Notes ====
io.open is the default implementation of open for python3 and handles
encodings in a better way defaulting to utf8
==== Fixed Issues ====
#1022
==== 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 ====
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.

==== Tech Notes ====
Some functions have been orphaned in core.py and are only used in the
tests. To clean up these have been moved to where they're used.
==== Fixed Issues ====
#1007
==== Tech Notes ====
The converse system changed the api for the load_skill() function this
since the skill_container wasn't updated accordingly it stopped working.
This PR makes updates the container to use the new interface.
==== Fixed Issues ====
#1001
==== Tech Notes ====
Previously the skills were reloaded a couple of times during startup
since updates of the .pyc file and possible the settings.json file were
made.
This commit adds a bit finer control over which files to check.
Currently all files in skill root except ones ending in .pyc and the
settings.json are checked along with all visible subdirectories
The most recently used skills now have an opportunity to preview all
utterances before they hit the intent system.
==== Tech Notes ====
Skills get a preview in the order of activation -- most recent first --
and if they can consume the utterance or ignore it. If consumed,
processing stops. If ignored, the next most recent skill gets a shot
at it. Finally, if no skill consumes it the intent system takes over,
running as it always has.
Skills remain "active" for 5 minutes after last use.
A skill achieves this by implementing the converse() method, e.g.
def def converse(self, utterances, lang="en-us"):
if .... :
return True # handled, consume utterance
else:
return False # not for this skill, pass it along
==== Tech Notes ====
IntentBuilder objects always need to be built into an Intent to be
usable in mycroft. Since this is always neccessary the code doing this
can be moved so users don't need to do this step.
This commit makes the `register_intent()` method check the handler
argument type, if it's an IntentBuilder object it builds the Intent, if
it's an Intent it continues as normal, if it's any other type it will
raise a ValueError
==== 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.

==== 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
