Version 1.17.0 alexa-client-sdk
...
Changes in this update:
**Enhancements**
- Added support for [captions for TTS](https://developer.amazon.com/docs/avs-device-sdk/features.html#captions ). This enhancement allows you to print onscreen captions for Alexa voice responses.
- Added support for [SpeechSynthesizer Interface 1.3](https://developer.amazon.com/docs/alexa-voice-service/speechsynthesizer.html ). This interface supports the new `captions` parameter.
- Added support for [AudioPlayer Interface 1.3](https://developer.amazon.com/docs/alexa-voice-service/audioplayer.html ). This interface supports the new `captions` parameter.
- Added support for [Interaction Model 1.2](https://developer.amazon.com/docs/alexa-voice-service/interactionmodel-interface.html ).
- Added support for [System 2.0](https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/docs/alexa/alexa-voice-service/system.html ).
- Added support for Alarm Volume Ramp. This feature lets you to fade in alarms for a more pleasant experience. You enable alarm volume ramp in the sample app through the settings menu.
- Added support for using certified senders for URI path extensions. This change allows you to specify the URI path extension when sending messages with [`CertifiedSender::sendJSONMessage`](https://alexa.github.io/avs-device-sdk/classalexa_client_s_d_k_1_1certified_sender_1_1_certified_sender.html#a4c0706d79717b226ba77d1a9c3280fe6 ).
- Added new [`Metrics`](https://alexa.github.io/avs-device-sdk/classalexa_client_s_d_k_1_1avs_common_1_1utils_1_1_metrics.html ) interfaces and helper classes. These additions help you create and consume [`Metrics`](https://alexa.github.io/avs-device-sdk/classalexa_client_s_d_k_1_1avs_common_1_1utils_1_1_metrics.html ) events.
- **Interfaces** - `MetricRecorderInterface`, `MetricSinkInterface`.
- **Helper Classes** - `DataPointStringBuilder`, `DataPointCounterBuilder`, `DataPointDurationBuilder`, `MetricEventBuilder`.
- Added support for the following AVS [endpoint](../avs-device-sdk/endpoints.html) controller capabilities:
- [Alexa.ModeController](https://developer.amazon.com/docs/alexa-voice-service/alexa-modecontroller.html )
- [Alexa.RangeController](https://developer.amazon.com/docs/alexa-voice-service/alexa-rangecontroller.html )
- [Alexa.PowerController](https://developer.amazon.com/docs/alexa-voice-service/alexa-powercontroller.html )
- [Alexa.ToggleController](https://developer.amazon.com/docs/alexa-voice-service/alexa-togglecontroller.html )
- Added `PowerResourceManagerInterface`. This interface allows the SDK to control power resource levels for components such as the `AudioInputProcessor` and `SpeechSynthesizer`.
- Added `AlexaInterfaceCapabilityAgent`. This Capability Agent handles common directives and endpoint controller capabilities support by [`Alexa.AlexaInterface`](../alexa-voice-service/alexa.html).
- Added `AlexaInterfaceMessageSenderInterface`. This interface is required to send common events defined by the `Alexa.AlexaInterface` interface.
- Added `BufferingComplete` to [`MediaPlayerObserverInterface`](https://alexa.github.io/avs-device-sdk/classalexa_client_s_d_k_1_1avs_common_1_1utils_1_1media_player_1_1_media_player_observer_interface.html ). This method helps improve performance in poor networking conditions by making sure `MediaPlayer` pre-buffers correctly.
- Added `SendDTMF` to `CallManagerInterface`. This method allows you to send DTMF tones during calls.

- **ADDED** [`ENABLE_MODE_CONTROLLER`](https://developer.amazon.com/docs/avs-device-sdk/cmake-parameters.html#endpoints )
**New dependencies**
- To use captions, you must install a [new dependency](https://developer.amazon.com/docs/avs-device-sdk/dependencies ) – the [libwebvtt parsing library](https://github.com/alexa/webvtt ). Webvtt is a C/C++ library for interpreting and authoring conformant WebVTT content. WebVTT is a caption and subtitle format designed for use with HTML5 audio and video elements.
**Bug fixes**
- Fixed [`MimeResponseSink::onReceiveNonMimeData`](https://alexa.github.io/avs-device-sdk/classalexa_client_s_d_k_1_1acl_1_1_mime_response_sink.html ) [data issue](https://github.com/alexa/avs-device-sdk/issues/1519 ) that returned invalid data.
- Fixed [data type issue](https://github.com/alexa/avs-device-sdk/issues/1519 ) that incorrectly used `finalResponseCode` instead of [`FinalResponseCodeId`](https://github.com/alexa/avs-device-sdk/blob/master/AVSCommon/Utils/src/LibcurlUtils/LibCurlHttpContentFetcher.cpp#L370 ).
- Fixed [`UrlContentToAttachmentConverter`](https://alexa.github.io/avs-device-sdk/classalexa_client_s_d_k_1_1playlist_parser_1_1_url_content_to_attachment_converter.html ) issue that used the incorrect range parameter.
- Fixed `FinallyGuard` [linking issue](https://github.com/alexa/avs-device-sdk/issues/1517 ) that caused problems compiling the SDK on iOS.
- Fixed a [Bluetooth Capability Agent](https://alexa.github.io/avs-device-sdk/classalexa_client_s_d_k_1_1capability_agents_1_1bluetooth_1_1_bluetooth.html ) bug that prevented devices from initializing.
**Known Issues**
* The WebVTT dependency required for `captions` isn't supported for Windows/Android.
* Music playback history isn't displayed in the Alexa app for certain account and device types.
* When using Gnu Compiler Collection 8+ (GCC 8+), `-Wclass-memaccess` triggers warnings. You can ignore these, they don't cause the build to fail.
* Android error `libDefaultClient.so not found` might occur. Resolve this by upgrading to ADB version 1.0.40.
* If a device loses a network connection, the lost connection status isn't returned via local TTS.
* ACL encounters issues if it receives audio attachments but doesn't consume them.
* `SpeechSynthesizerState` uses `GAINING_FOCUS` and `LOSING_FOCUS` as a workaround for handling intermediate states.
* Media steamed through Bluetooth might abruptly stop. To restart playback, resume the media in the source application or toggle next/previous.
* If a connected Bluetooth device is inactive, the Alexa app might indicates that audio is playing.
* The Bluetooth agent assumes that the Bluetooth adapter is always connected to a power source. Disconnecting from a power source during operation isn't yet supported.
* When using some products, interrupted Bluetooth playback might not resume if other content is locally streamed.
* `make integration` isn't available for Android. To run Android integration tests, manually upload the test binary and input file and run ADB.
* Alexa might truncate the beginning of speech when responding to text-to-speech (TTS) user events. This only impacts Raspberry Pi devices running Android Things with HDMI output audio.
* A reminder TTS message doesn't play if the sample app restarts and loses a network connection. Instead, the default alarm tone plays twice.
* `ServerDisconnectIntegratonTest` tests are disabled until they are updated to reflect new service behavior.
* Bluetooth initialization must complete before connecting devices, otherwise devices are ignored.
* The `DirectiveSequencerTest.test_handleBlockingThenImmediatelyThenNonBockingOnSameDialogId` test fails intermittently.
* On some devices, Alexa gets stuck in a permanent listening state. Pressing `t` and `h` in the Sample App doesn't exit the listening state.
* Exiting the settings menu doesn't provide a message to indicate that you're back in the main menu.

Version 1.8 alexa-client-sdk
...
Changes in this update:
Enhancements
Added local stop functionality. This allows a user to stop an active function, such as an alert or timer, by uttering "Alexa, stop" when an Alexa-enabled product is offline.
Alerts in the background now stream in 10 sec intervals, rather than continuously.
Added support for France to the sample app.
friendlyName can now be updated for BlueZ implementations of BlueZBluetoothDevice and BlueZHostController.
Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue where the Bluetooth agent didn't clear user data upon reset, including paired devices and the uuidMapping table.
Fixed MediaPlayer threading issues. Now each instance has it's own glib main loop thread, rather than utilizing the default main context worker thread.
Fixed segmentation fault issues that occurred when certain static initializers needed to be initialized in a certain order, but the order wasn't defined.
Known Issues
The ACL may encounter issues if audio attachments are received but not consumed.
SpeechSynthesizerState currently uses GAINING_FOCUS and LOSING_FOCUS as a workaround for handling intermediate state. These states may be removed in a future release.
The Alexa app doesn't always indicate when a device is successfully connected via Bluetooth.
Connecting a product to streaming media via Bluetooth will sometimes stop media playback within the source application. Resuming playback through the source application or toggling next/previous will correct playback.
When a source device is streaming silence via Bluetooth, the Alexa companion app indicates that audio content is streaming.
The Bluetooth agent assumes that the Bluetooth adapter is always connected to a power source. Disconnecting from a power source during operation is not yet supported.
On some products, interrupted Bluetooth playback may not resume if other content is locally streamed.
On Raspberry Pi, when streaming audio via Bluetooth, sometimes the audio stream stutters.
On Raspberry Pi, BlueALSA must be terminated each time the device boots. See Raspberry Pi Quick Start Guide for more information.
