Changes in this update:
**Enhancements**
* New optional configuration for [EqualizerController](https://github.com/alexa/avs-device-sdk/blob/v1.10.0/Integration/AlexaClientSDKConfig.json#L154). The EqualizerController interface allows you to adjust equalizer settings on your product, such as decibel (dB) levels and modes.
* Added reference implementation of the EqualizerController for GStreamer-based (MacOS, Linux, and Raspberry Pi) and OpenSL ES-based (Android) MediaPlayers. Note: In order to use with Android, it must support OpenSL ES.
* New optional configuration for the [TemplateRuntime display card value](https://github.com/alexa/avs-device-sdk/blob/v1.10.0/Integration/AlexaClientSDKConfig.json#L144).
* A configuration file generator script, `genConfig.sh` is now included with the SDK in the **tools/Install** directory. `genConfig.sh` and it's associated arguments populate `AlexaClientSDKConfig.json` with the data required to authorize with LWA.
* Added Bluetooth A2DP source and AVRCP target support for Linux.
* Added Amazon for Business (A4B) support, which includes support for handling the new [RevokeAuthorization](https://developer.amazon.com/docs/alexa-voice-service/system.html#revokeauth) directive in the Settings interface. A new CMake option has been added to enable A4B within the SDK, `-DA4B`.
* Added locale support for IT and ES.
* The Alexa Communication Library (ACL), `CBLAUthDelegate`, and sample app have been enhanced to detect de-authorization using the new `z` command.
* Added `ExternalMediaPlayerObserver`, which receives notification of player state, track, and username changes.
* `HTTP2ConnectionInterface` was factored out of `HTTP2Transport` to enable unit testing of `HTTP2Transport` and re-use of `HTTP2Connection` logic.
**Bug Fixes**
* Fixed a bug in which `ExternalMediaPlayer` adapter playback wasn't being recognized by AVS.
* [Issue 973](https://github.com/alexa/avs-device-sdk/issues/973) - Fixed issues related to `AudioPlayer` where progress reports were being sent out of order or with incorrect offsets.
* An `EXPECTING`, state has been added to `DialogUXState` in order to handle `EXPECT_SPEECH` state for hold-to-talk devices.
* [Issue 948](https://github.com/alexa/avs-device-sdk/issues/948) - Fixed a bug in which the sample app was stuck in a listening state.
* Fixed a bug where there was a delay between receiving a `DeleteAlert` directive, and deleting the alert.
* [Issue 839](https://github.com/alexa/avs-device-sdk/issues/839) - Fixed an issue where speech was being truncated due to the `DialogUXStateAggregator` transitioning between a `THINKING` and `IDLE` state.
* Fixed a bug in which the `AudioPlayer` attempted to play when it wasn't in the `FOREGROUND` focus.
* `CapabilitiesDelegateTest` now works on Android.
* [Issue 950](https://github.com/alexa/avs-device-sdk/issues/950) - Improved Android Media Player audio quality.
* [Issue 908](https://github.com/alexa/avs-device-sdk/issues/908) - Fixed compile error on g++ 7.x in which includes were missing.
Changes in this update
* **Enhancements**
* Updated MediaPlayer to solve stability issues
* All capability agents were refined to work with the updated MediaPlayer
* Added the TemplateRuntime capability agent
* Added the SpeakerManager capability agent
* Added a configuration option ("sampleApp":"endpoint") that allows the endpoint that SampleApp connects to to be specified without changing code or rebuilding
* Added very verbose capture of libcurl debug information
* Added an observer interface to observer audio state changes from AudioPlayer
* Added support for StreamMetadataExtracted Event. Stream tags found in the stream are represented in JSON and sent to AVS
* Added to the SampleApp a simple GuiRenderer as an observer to the TemplateRuntime Capability Agent
* Moved shared libcurl functionality to AVSCommon/Utils
* Added a CMake option to exclude tests from the "make all" build. Use "cmake <absolute-path-to-source>
-DACSDK_EXCLUDE_TEST_FROM_ALL=ON" to enable it. When this option is enabled "make unit" and "make integration" still could be used to build and run the tests
* **Bug fixes**:
* Previously scheduled alerts now play following a restart
* General stability fixes
* Bug fix for CertifiedSender blocking forever if the network goes down while it's trying to send a message to AVS
* Fixes for known issue of Alerts integration tests fail: AlertsTest.UserLongUnrelatedBargeInOnActiveTimer and AlertsTest.handleOneTimerWithVocalStop
* Attempting to end a tap-to-talk interaction with the tap-to-talk button wouldn't work
* SharedDataStream could encounter a race condition due to a combination of a blocking Reader and a Writer closing before writing any data
* Bug-fix for the ordering of notifications within alerts scheduling. This fixes the issue where a local-stop on an alert would also stop a subsequent alert if it were to begin without delay
* **Known Issues**
* Capability agent for Notifications is not included in this release
* Inconsistent playback behavior when resuming content ("Alexa, pause." / "Alexa, resume."). Specifically, handling playback offsets, which causes the content to play from the start. This behavior is also occasionally seen with "Next" /
"Previous".
* `ACL`'s asynchronous receipt of audio attachments may manage resources poorly in scenarios where attachments are received but not consumed.
