Changes in this update
- Added a fix to the sample app so that the StateSynchronization event is the first that gets sent to AVS.
- Added a POST_CONNECTED enum to ConnectionStatusObserver.
- StateSychronizer now automatically sends a StateSynchronization event when it receives a notification that ACL is CONNECTED.
- Added make install for installing the AVS Device SDK.
- Added an optional make networkIntegration for integration tests for slow network (only on Linux platforms).
- Added shutdown management which fully cleans up SDK objects during teardown.
- Fixed an issue with AudioPlayer barge-in which was preventing subsequent audio from playing.
- Changed Mediaplayer buffering to reduce stuttering.
- Known Issues:
- Connection loss during listening keeps the app in that state even after connection is regained. Pressing ‘s’ unsticks the state.
- Play/Pause media restarts it from the beginning.
- SpeechSynthesizer shows wrong UX state during a burst of Speaks.
- Quitting the sample app while AudioPlayer is playing something causes a segmentation fault.
- AudioPlayer sending PlaybackPaused during flash briefing.
- Long Delay playing live stations on iHeartRadio.
- Teardown warnings at the end of integration tests.
Changes in this update
- Added `AudioPlayer` capability agent.
- Supports iHeartRadio.
- `StateSynchronizer` has been updated to better enforce that `System.SynchronizeState`is the first Event sent on a connection to AVS.
- Additional tests have been added to `ACL`.
- The `Sample App` has been updated with several small fixes and improvements.
- `ADSL` was updated such that all directives are now blocked while the handling of previous `SpeechSynthesizer.Speak`
directives complete. Because any directive may now be blocked, the `preHandleDirective() / handleDirective()` path
is now used for handling all directives.
- Fixes for the following GitHub issues:
- https://github.com/alexa/alexa-client-sdk/issues/44.
- A bug causing `ACL` to not send a ping to AVS every 5 minutes, leading to periodic server disconnects, was fixed.
- Subtle race condition issues were addressed in the `Executor` class, resolving some intermittent crashes.
Changes in this update
- Added a sample app that leverages the SDK.
- Added an implementation of the `Alerts` capability agent.
- Added the `DefaultClient` class.
- Added the following classes to support directives and events in the
`StateSynchronizer`, `EndpointHandler`, and `ExceptionEncounteredSender`.
- Added unit tests for `ACL`.
- Updated `MediaPlayer` to play local files given an `std::istream`.
- Changed build configuration from `Debug` to `Release`.
- Removed `DeprecatedLogger` class.
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 SpeechSynthesizer, an implementation of the SpeechRecognizer capability agent.
- Implemented a reference MediaPlayer based on [GStreamer](https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/) for audio playback.
- Added the MediaPlayerInterface that allows you to implement your own media player.
- Updated ACL to support asynchronous receipt of audio attachments from AVS.
Bug Fixes:
-Some intermittent unit test failures were fixed.
Known Issues:
-ACL's asynchronous receipt of audio attachments may manage resources poorly in scenarios where attachments are
received but not consumed.
- When an AttachmentReader does not deliver data for prolonged periods MediaPlayer may not resume playing the
delayed audio.
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.
AVSUtils/src/Logger/ThreadIdAsString.cpp, has a static thread_local variable and includes <thread>, and since this file is used indirectly from the ExampleLogger, this issue is showing up as an issue in ExampleLogger.
Currently, ACL and AuthDelegate both find the Threads package and link against in their src/CMakeLists.txt file, so we don't see such issues when creating those libraries. However, AVSUtils does not do this. The fix for this particular issue (https://github.com/alexa/alexa-client-sdk/issues/3) is to find the Threads package and link against it in the AVSUtils library as well, which this commit does. This commit also pulls in the Threads package and links against it in other areas that include <thread> so that we don’t run into this issue down the road by mistake.
