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.
Changes in this update
- Added a getConfiguration() method to DirectiveHandlerInterface to register Capability Agents with Directive Sequencer.
- Fix race condition with reading attachments before a writer exists.
- Use of new Logging abstraction layer in modules - ADSL,AFML,ContextManager,AuthDelegate,AIP,KWD,Mediaplayer.
- Added ACL stream processing with Pause and redrive.
- Removed the dependency of ACL Library on Authdelegate.
- Added and interface to allow ACL to Add/Remove ConnectionStatusObserverInterface.
- Fixed compile errors in KittAi, DirectiveHandler and compiler warnings in AIP test.
- Corrected formatting on the files.
- Fixes for the following Github issues
- https://github.com/alexa/alexa-client-sdk/issues/21
- https://github.com/alexa/alexa-client-sdk/issues/25
Changes in this update:
- Added the CapabilityAgent base class that is used to build capability agent
implementations.
- Added the ContextManager class that allows multiple Capability Agents to
store and access state. These events include context, which is used to
communicate the state of each capability agent to AVS:
- Recognize
- PlayCommandIssued
- PauseCommandIssued
- NextCommandIssued
- PreviousCommandIssued
- SynchronizeState
- ExceptionEncountered
- Implemented the SharedDataStream (SDS) to asynchronously communicate data
between a local reader and writer.
- Added AudioInputProcessor (AIP), an implementation of a SpeechRecognizer
capability agent.
- Added the WakeWord Detector (WWD), which recognizes keywords in audio streams.
v0.3 implements a wrapper for KITT.ai.
- Added a new implementation of AttachmentManager and associated classes for use
with SDS.
- Updated the ACL to support asynchronously sending audio to AVS.
