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
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.
