Mycroft

Mycroft is a hackable open source voice assistant.

Table of Contents

Getting Started

First, get the code on your system! The simplest method is via git (git installation instructions):

  • cd ~/
  • git clone https://github.com/MycroftAI/mycroft-core.git
  • cd mycroft-core
  • bash dev_setup.sh

This script sets up dependencies and a virtualenv. If running in an environment besides Ubuntu/Debian, Arch or Fedora you may need to manually install packages as instructed by dev_setup.sh.

NOTE: The default branch for this repository is 'dev', which should be considered a work-in-progress. If you want to clone a more stable version, switch over to the 'master' branch.

Running Mycroft

Mycroft provides start-mycroft.sh to perform common tasks. This script uses a virtualenv created by dev_setup.sh. Assuming you installed mycroft-core in your home directory run:

  • cd ~/mycroft-core
  • ./start-mycroft.sh debug

The "debug" command will start the background services (microphone listener, skill, messagebus, and audio subsystems) as well as bringing up a text-based Command Line Interface (CLI) you can use to interact with Mycroft and see the contents of the various logs. Alternatively you can run ./start-mycroft.sh all to begin the services without the command line interface. Later you can bring up the CLI using ./start-mycroft.sh cli.

The background services can be stopped as a group with:

  • ./stop-mycroft.sh

Using Mycroft

Home Device and Account Manager

Mycroft AI, Inc. maintains a device and account management system known as Mycroft Home. Developers may sign up at: https://home.mycroft.ai

By default, mycroft-core is configured to use Home. By saying "Hey Mycroft, pair my device" (or any other request verbal request) you will be informed that your device needs to be paired. Mycroft will speak a 6-digit code which you can enter into the pairing page within the Mycroft Home site.

Once paired, your unit will use Mycroft API keys for services such as Speech-to-Text (STT), weather and various other skills.

Skills

Mycroft is nothing without skills. There are a handful of default skills that are downloaded automatically to your /opt/mycroft/skills directory, but most need to be installed explicitly. See the Skill Repo to discover skills made by others. Please share your own interesting work!

Behind the scenes

Pairing Information

Pairing information generated by registering with Home is stored in: ~/.config/mycroft/identity/identity2.json <-- DO NOT SHARE THIS WITH OTHERS!

Configuration

Mycroft's configuration consists of 4 possible locations:

  • mycroft-core/mycroft/configuration/mycroft.conf(Defaults)
  • Mycroft Home (Remote)
  • /etc/mycroft/mycroft.conf (Machine)
  • $XDG_CONFIG_DIR/mycroft/mycroft.conf (which is by default $HOME/.config/mycroft/mycroft.conf) (USER)

When the configuration loader starts, it looks in these locations in this order, and loads ALL configurations. Keys that exist in multiple configuration files will be overridden by the last file to contain the value. This process results in a minimal amount being written for a specific device and user, without modifying default distribution files.

Using Mycroft Without Home

If you do not wish to use the Mycroft Home service, before starting Mycroft for the first time, create $HOME/.config/mycroft/mycroft.conf with the following contents:

{
  "skills": {
    "blacklisted_skills": [
      "mycroft-configuration.mycroftai",
      "mycroft-pairing.mycroftai"
    ]
  }
}

API Key Services

The Mycroft backend provides access to a range of API keys for specific services. Without pairing with the Mycroft backend, you will need to add your own API keys, install a different Skill or Plugin to perform that function, or not have access to that functionality.

These are the keys currently used in Mycroft Core through the Mycroft backend:

Using Mycroft behind a proxy

Many schools, universities and workplaces run a proxy on their network. If you need to type in a username and password to access the external internet, then you are likely behind a proxy.

If you plan to use Mycroft behind a proxy, then you will need to do an additional configuration step.

NOTE: In order to complete this step, you will need to know the hostname and port for the proxy server. Your network administrator will be able to provide these details. Your network administrator may want information on what type of traffic Mycroft will be using. We use https traffic on port 443, primarily for accessing ReST-based APIs.

Using Mycroft behind a proxy without authentication

If you are using Mycroft behind a proxy without authentication, add the following environment variables, changing the proxy_hostname.com and proxy_port for the values for your network. These commands are executed from the Linux command line interface (CLI).

$ export http_proxy=http://proxy_hostname.com:proxy_port
$ export https_port=http://proxy_hostname.com:proxy_port
$ export no_proxy="localhost,127.0.0.1,localaddress,.localdomain.com,0.0.0.0,::1"

Using Mycroft behind an authenticated proxy

If you are behind a proxy which requires authentication, add the following environment variables, changing the proxy_hostname.com and proxy_port for the values for your network. These commands are executed from the Linux command line interface (CLI).

$ export http_proxy=http://user:password@proxy_hostname.com:proxy_port
$ export https_port=http://user:password@proxy_hostname.com:proxy_port
$ export no_proxy="localhost,127.0.0.1,localaddress,.localdomain.com,0.0.0.0,::1"

    The dev_setup.sh script should ensure that it is not run with sudo, or at least ask.

    After going through the register process the mycroft client doesn't seem to realize that it has been registered and continues to say that the device is not registered and gives a registration code. Restarting all of mycroft's processes after registration, and then restarting has no effect. The website itself appears to have worked, the device id on the web page matches the id in the identity.json file on my machine.

  • Use XDG Base directories for settings, cache and runtime data

    Use XDG Base directories for settings, cache and runtime data

    Description

    This makes Mycroft use the XDG Base Directory specification. Data is now saved to:

    • settings to $XDG_CONFIG_DIR/mycroft, which most of the time equals to ~/.config/mycroft
    • data to $XDG_DATA_DIRS/mycroft, which most of the time equals to ~/.local/share/mycroft
    • cache to $XDG_CACHE_HOME/mycroft, which most of the time equals to ~/.cache

    Since this changes the default location of pretty much everything, please test it well!

    Goal is to support and read from the old ~/.mycroft location if it already exists, but save to the XDG Base Directories and read from it on new installations.

    Together with #2559 this should be full XDG Base Directory compliance.

    How to test

    First of all, run this PR with an existing installation, and check if everything is loaded from the usual locations. Then shut it down and restart to make sure it has saved to the new locations. Then, completely remove any trace of Mycroft settings from your system. Easiest would be to fully deinstall (remove /opt/mycroft), remove ~/.mycroft, and the XDG Base directories mentioned above. Now reinstall Mycroft (with this PR applied) and start and connect it. Check if ~/.mycroft is not created anymore and ~/.config/mycroft, ~/.local/share/mycroft and ~/.cache/mycroft are with the correct files and directories in them.

  • Audio service

    Audio service

    In late November @penrods led a discussion about how an audio service in Mycroft could work. This is a simple implementation of what was discussed. This is a quick implementation of the system as I understood it and I think this can be used to continue the discussion. Ideas and suggestions on improvements are very welcome.

    The PR adds support for commands like

    "Hey Mycroft, play the news in the livingroom"

    Backends

    The current system includes support for the following "backends"

    • Mpg123, very limited implementation
    • VLC
    • Mopidy

    "backends" currently in the works:

    • Chromecast
    • Kodi

    Backends are quite easy to add and an existing baseclass can be extended to add new ones.

    AudioService

    Skill creators will use an audio service interface to communicate with the audio service / playback control. the AudioService interface uses the standard message bus.

    from mycroft.skills.audioservice import AudioService
[...]
  as = AudioService()
[...]
  as.play(file_or_uri) # handles both lists and single uris

    See the npr_news skill for basic usage.

    The AudioService currently only support play and track_info requests but this will probably be expanded for increased usefulness.

    Playback control skill

    Features:

    • backend/location selection from utterance ("...in kitchen" etc.)
    • lowering volume while Mycroft speaks
    • playback control (Pausing/Resuming, skipping, Stopping)

    The backend/location selection is currently done using basic string parsing and should probably be done using adapt instead.

    This skill removes much of the basic functions that needs to be implemented for an audio playback skill and the skill creator can focus on the trickier parts.

    Currently most of the audio logic is implemented in the playback control skill and should maybe be moved but this was a good starting point.

    Configuration

    A Configuration the audio services:

    {
  "Audio": {
    "backends": {
      "local": {
        "type": "mpg123",
        "active": true
      },
      "kitchen": {
        "type": "mopidy",
        "url": "http://localhost:6680",
        "active": true
      },
      "livingroom": {
        "type": "mopidy",
        "url": "http://192.168.10.232:6680",
        "active": false
      },
      "vlc": {
        "type": "vlc",
        "active": true
      }
    },
    "default-backend": "local"
  }
}

    If you try it I suggest you install vlc and pyvlc and use the vlc backend since mpg123 only has basic functionallity.

    I've tested this mainly with the mopidy skill and the npr_news skill.

    Todo

    • more backends, Kodi and chromecast is a minimum
    • possibly separate the backends from the playback control skill
    • populate the AudioService interface with more functions so skill creators can do more interesting things with the audio (A music quiz-skill should be able to skip ahead in the playlist when a correct answer is provided)
    • More configuration options
    • Maybe some way to send credentials from a skill to the backend to access some music services
    • Better utterance parsing when starting playback, along with more keywords (like half volume)

  • Refactor intent service

    Refactor intent service

    Description

    The intent handling has been spread out over a bunch of files and this sort of collects it back into a single location makes the entire flow viewable from a single handler for the old recognizer_loop:utterance message.

    The resolution order is the same as before only expressed as a single list instead of a series of checks and fallbacks interlaced.

    • Converse
    • Padatious High Confidence
    • Adapt
    • Fallback High priority
    • Padatious Medium Confidence
    • Fallback Medium priority
    • Padatious Last ditch effort
    • Fallback Low priority

    This collects the many parts of where intent is handled into a single location handling the entire flow.

    The idea is that, in the end, all the skill calling should be done from this method. The main intent parsers does this but the converse and fallback still calls directly.

    Future work: Converse and fallback still triggers handlers directly.

    How to test

    Best way to test this is to make sure the voight kampff tests are still passing.

Since the broken files are in /tmp/mycroft/, removing those files fixes this entirely (until you run the bus as superuser again).

    Please wait a moment as I finish booting up.

    what is broken?

    help please?

    Mycroft-config: Fix deprecated --tempfile in nano

    Description

    As described in Issue #3124, --tempfile was deprecated in Nano version 5.0.

    Switching to --saveonexit would break function on older versions (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS use 4.8 version).

    Thankfully, the short version of those two is still the same -t. Using it will preserve function on older systems and fix function on newer ones.

    How to test

    Try to edit config.

  • release/v21.2.1(Sep 3, 2021)

    Mycroft-core v21.2.1 is an iterative release with a whole smattering of goodies.

    Most noticeably mycroft-core is becoming compliant with the XDG Base Directory specification. This moves some files from their traditional directories, to those defined by the XDG spec:

    • settings to $XDG_CONFIG_DIR/mycroft, which most of the time is ~/.config/mycroft
    • data to $XDG_DATA_DIRS/mycroft, which most of the time is ~/.local/share/mycroft
    • cache to $XDG_CACHE_HOME/mycroft, which most of the time is ~/.cache/mycroft

    Mycroft Skills currently remain at /opt/mycroft/skills/

    A series of improvements have also been made to the Voight Kampff test suite to make them more reliable and robust. The better our tests, the quicker we can push other updates.

    Source code(zip)

  • release/v20.2.5(Aug 17, 2020)

    Features

    Add callback hooks to run Mycroft as a service #2601 This adds a simple system of callback hooks to run mycroft as a service or through a single executable. It allows the definition of a wrapper script with handlers for ready states, error states and a watchdog to ensure the system is still running.

    The current watchdog implementations are currently only for the speech client (voice data is received from the mic) and the Skills process (skills are updated) due to their natural cyclic structure.

    Big thanks to @forslund for this and all his contributions to this release. There are too many to count!

    Add GUI support for animated images #2616 New method show_animated_image() added to Qt GUI framework providing a GUI page for displaying animated gif files. Thanks to @JarbasAl for this and all his new GUI Skills.

    Add method for updating playback information from Skills #2619, #2655 This adds a common method for Skills to send playback information and status to the Common Play Skill. There are ongoing discussions about the complete management of playback between Skills, Common Play, and audio services. Special thanks to @AIIX and @JarbasAl for their ongoing work on this.

    Gentoo Linux support added to setup scripts #2583 Gentoo users can now run the standard dev_setup.sh script and their OS will be detected allowing the correct dependencies to be installed. Big thanks to @doczkal for this one!

    Snapcraft CI #2597 Continuous Integration implemented for Mycroft Snap releases.

    Add 'Skill should not reply' test #2618 A new Voight Kampff Step was added allowing integration tests to check that a particular Skill does not respond to some utterance. This helps to ensure your Skill only responds to questions it can handle reducing unexpected errors.

    Add wait_for_message() method #2628 This method will wait for a message of a specific type to be detected on the messagebus, returning the message if detected before the timeout has expired.

    Add Festival TTS support #2643 Thanks to @jmontane for this addition, enabling on-device TTS for Catalan (and other language) speakers!

    Bug fixes

    Workaround for issue on older versions of ncurses #2591 get_wch() can at times throw errors as reported in Issue #2523, this creates a function wait_for_any_key() handling the error and retrying.

    Prevent audio playing between recording and handling of utterance #2621, #2625 This maintains silence for a short period while Mycroft is actively processing a request providing a better experience for the user. It means media playback completely stops the moment a user asks it to, and prevents short snippets of audio playback if Mycroft is formulating a response.

    Fix Skill submodule loading and replace imp with importlib #2327 Replaces the current imp based Skill loader with an importlib based solution. Adds a small change allowing better use of submodules allowing them to reload together with the main module.

    Fix Common IoT Skills unable to register entities and scenes #2636 Thanks to @jamesmf for this fix!

    Ensure custom timeout is passed to wait_for_response method #2634

    Fix Mimic builds on Fedora #2521 Thanks to @countcretinos for this one!

    Fix writing multiple settings to file #2652 Thanks to @emphasize for reporting this one.

    Improve language configuration handling in IntentService #2650 If the STT service does not send a language code with the message, then the Intent Service will now fallback to the globally defined language, or en-us if none is defined.

    Ensure default Skills are installed before initial load #2644 This adds a quick check on load to ensure default Skills are installed, unless they are blacklisted. If not installed it will do so before finalising Mycroft's boot sequence. This will only extend the boot time if important default Skills are not available.

    Update Lingua Franca to v0.2.2 #2654 Primarily bug fixes - see release notes for more details. Thanks to @ChanceNCounter, @emphasize, @forslund and @PureTryOut

    Disable wake word uploads in preparation for API deprecation #2661 The API endpoint used to upload wake words will be deprecated in the near future and instead shifted to Selene (home.mycroft.ai). To ensure older devices are not making unnecessary post requests to a dead endpoint, the upload has been disabled for devices running v20.2.

    Other improvements

    • Refactor wake-word waiting and record phrase #2589
    • Cleanup settings system #2560
    • Improved list of available commands in mycroft-help #2613
    • Update pyee to v7.0.1 - replaces home-spun threadpool based emitter with ThreadExecutor from pyee #2507
    • CI improvements #2537, #2541
    • Remove duplicate check for supported languages of Lingua Franca methods #2649. Another thanks to @emphasize for reporting this one.

    Community Contributors

    Another big thanks to all the Mycroft Community members that contributed to this release:

    Source code(zip)

  • release/v20.2.4(May 29, 2020)

    Padatious Intent Parser v0.4.8 #2595

    This release of Padatious adds support for saving and loading intent models courtesy of @repodiac, and better handles apostrophes thanks to @stratus-ss.

    Voight Kampff updated #2576, #2592

    Added support for setting user configurations through Given Steps in the form: "Given the user's {config} is {value}".

    Added a clean command to remove any test, step and configuration files that have been copied to the Voight Kampff directory by the test runner. To clean up use ./start-mycroft.sh vktest clear, mycroft-start vktest clear or mycroft-skill-testrunner vktest clear.

    Updated dependency handling #2562, #2571, #2575

    Added "loose" requirements option, allowing pip install to use ">=" instead of "==" for all packages. This is done by setting the MYCROFT_LOOSE_REQUIREMENTS environment variable. The intention is to make mycroft packaging for linux distributions easier while allowing the git installation to still use a locked set of module versions.

    The ever growing requirements.txt has also been split into core requirements, and a range of optional requirements files. This reduces the number of packages being installed unless the system will actually make use of them. It also paves the way for automatic installation of plugin dependencies. Big thanks to @PureTryOut for this one.

    Removed xmlrunner as it is no longer used.

    Added initial support for XDG Base Directory Specification #2559

    Skills will now read and store settings in the XDG_CONFIG_DIR if it is set and the device isn't already using the existing settings location in each Skill directory.

    Added support for Alpine Linux installation #2584

    The standard setup script will now detect Alpine Linux and install the appropriate dependencies. Another big thanks to @PureTryOut for this and the range of work that has gone into making Mycroft compatible!

    Fixed add_context decorator #2577

    The @adds_context decorator has optional content that should be passed to the set_context() method. This was not being passed along. This has been resolved with tests added.

    Fixed remove_fallback using original handler #2588

    Allows the removal of a fallback handler using the original handler, and not the wrapped handler used internally. Along with a range of tests to verify setup and shutdown of Fallback Skills.

    Modernize ESpeak TTS #2581

    ESpeak output was produced directly from the executable, this is now through the standard TTS output queue like the other TTS modules. This resolves an issue with wait_while_speaking.

    Added Polly TTS support - for real this time #2585

    This got missed in the last release but is definitely included this time. To get setup check out the documentation. Thanks again to JarbasAl from the Chatterbox team for this one!

    Bugfix audio service crashes if started without internet connection #2598

    The audio service would crash whilst importing the google_tts module on startup if no internet connection was available as it failed to fetch a list of supported languages. This update prevents the crash and adds a cached to use if the remote list is unavailable.

  • release/v20.2.0(Feb 27, 2020)

    We're not out of beta but we're releasin' on time! In the best possible way!

    A major release like this is an opportunity for us to clean up some of the older things and make future development easier and cleaner. The improvements over 19.08.0 are now many thanks to the work of the core team and the awesome community of developers and users.

    v20.02 brings some changes, some old deprecated code has been removed making core a little bit leaner and some huge contributions has made it in (targeted messages) along with the usual bag of minor fixes, and improvements.

    Breaking changes in 20.02

    • Skill settings are now a simple dict (Deprecated 19.08) Skill settings are now a simple dict and procedure for registring settings changed callback and forcing a disk write of the settings has been updated

    Registering settings changed callback (docs):

        def initialize(self):
        self.settings_change_callback = self.my_callback

    def my_callback(self):
        ...

    Write settings to disk:

    from mycroft.skills.settings import save_settings

...

    def skill_method(self, _):
        save_settings(self.root_dir, self.settings)

    • The ConfigurationManager has been removed (Deprecated 18.02) #2470

    • The backwards compatibility language for extract_datetime() has been removed. #2469 The function now follows the documentation and returns None if the utterance doesn't include a date or time.

    • audio accuracy test is now wake word test The test is moved from the mycroft module into the test folder.

    Improvements, fixes and other greatness

    Targeted messages #2461, #2476, #2478, #2481

    This is something that has been discussed for a long time and now the implementation by @jarbasal is here. The system allows for multiple clients to be connected to Mycroft and only returning the response to the caller client that called. For an example implementation check out the Hive Mind Voice Sat.

    Added the commandline tool mycroft-listen #2460

    @FruityWelsh created a simple commandline tool to trigger mycroft listening. Many thanks!

    Make listener audio storage location configurable #2477

    Thanks to @ludwhe the storage of utterances and detected wake words can be configured.

    IntentQueryApi #2468

    An API allowing a skill or application to query the state of the intent service, listing things such as registered intents, skill ids and other things. This is also the work of @jarbasal

    Deprecate use of # in config file #2472

    Using only // as comment makes the config compatible with tools such as jsmin. Big thanks to @belvederef for the initiative and implementation.

    Improve Mimic2 error handling #2473

    Server errors generating Mimic2 audio will now be caught and Mimic1 will be used as fallback.

    Common Play tests and cleanup #2459

    A series of unittests has been added to test the common play skill base class and the audioservice. As these were added a couple of minor bugs were resolved and the code was cleaned up slightly.

    Tests for common query #2462

    Adds test and fixes detection of visual platforms.

    Simplify dialog loading #2422

    The DialogLoader class is now deprecated instead a simple get_dialog() function is used.

  • release/v19.8.7(Jan 30, 2020)

    Few PR's lots of code changes!

    The big change in this release is the removal of the language parsing/formatting code and instead relies on the lingua-franca module run by the Mycroft community (and @JarbasAI in particular who set up the project originally). Much discussion is going on in the mycroft chat language channel, if you're interested join us there!

    Replace language parsing and formatting with lingua-franca #2438, #2464

    This basically cuts 20 000 lines of code from mycroft-core (roughly 50% of the python code). Stubs still remains to retain backwards compatibility.

    Allow stop-mycroft.sh to stop Mycroft if launched through other python module #2449

    This relates to the work @andlo is making to make the skills easier to run in various IDEs. Big thanks to him for improving this side of things!

    Upgrade pip to latest version #2458

    The dev_setup.sh script will now install pip 20.0.2, besides bringing us uptodate this allows installs on bleeding edge systems running Python 3.9.

  • release/v19.8.6(Jan 16, 2020)

    I saw the future clearly. It was 20/20...

    Mycroft has now entered the new year with a release, we're happy for all contributors old and new that are joining us in this Brave New World of 2020.

    Documentation updates

    • @TheLastProject corrected the non-metric version of the unit config in #2441
    • @notdefine corrected the documentation on how to start the unittests with start-mycroft.sh
    • The MycroftSkill members root_dir and settings_change_callback were added to the readthedocs documentation.

    Test updates #2443, #2442, #2450

    Tests were extended for the mycroft_skill, tts and audio modules, increasing code coverage by a couple of percent. In doing this some issues were identified and squashed.

    • Mimic2 preprocessing is now active
    • The fallback TTS can now trigger listening
    • vlc playback backend works with tracks with mime-info

    Make venv-activate work with sh and zsh #2439

    We're always grateful when contributors make our scripts work with more platforms and tools. Big thanks to @notdefine for fixing this.

    Make padatious multithreading configurable #2448

    Padatious will default run multithreaded to speed up training but this is now configurable thanks to @andlo.

    Upate gtts backend to be compatible with newer versions #2447

    This allows mycroft to work with v2.1.0 and above of gTTS. Many thanks to @ansgar-t for this update.

    Update msm to 0.8.5 #2452

    This allows the installer skill to detect errors when installing.

    End of playlist message

    The audioservice will now send an end of playlist message after the last track has been played. This will be useful for restoring the resting screen after the last track or detecting the end of a sequence of steps in an prerecorded situation.

  • release/v19.8.5(Dec 20, 2019)

    The Mycroft Christmas release comes with a small bag of goodies this year, even if I won't be doing any rhyming like I did last year.

    We've had 25 releases this year (unless this release is messed up somehow that's how we'll end). These 25 releases include the code contributions from no less than 41 community members (just on mycroft-core).

    Settingsmeta stability #2370, #2433

    The biggest thing in this release is an attempt to stabilize the settings upload. This will make sure that the skills page on Mycroft Home is populated as soon as the device is paired. It also tries to guarantee that the skills manifest is uploaded before any new changes to the settingsmeta are pushed making modifying skills easier.

    Upgrade python dependency on Red Hat #2412

    @maxbachmann replaced the old python34 package with the generic python package installing a more modern python version on Red Hat systems. Many thanks for that!

    Allow Gui to connect again #2416

    This is a quick work-around allowing the gui to connect to core over the enclosure bus again. A change in the recently upgraded tornado made this fail.

    Allow showing DEBUG in CLI #2421

    The cli now always disregards the DEBUG message filter, relying solely on the log level setting.

    Fix Hotword selection when precise development models are activated #2418

    The recent update of hotword config loading included a bug where the settings from different places wasn't merged correctly. This fix handles the merging properly.

    Support for Porcupine hotword engine #2139, #2424

    @alumae submitted a PR to allow the usage of the porcupine hotword engine by picovoice. Many thanks for this awesome feature.

    dev_setup.sh update #2388, #2390, #2401, #2403, #2406, #2414

    • The dev_setup.sh os install instructions has been separated into separate functions to make the script a bit more easy to read. In addition to this the installer for Arch Linux and certain versions of Debian has been fixed. In addition a --clean option now exists allowing to wipe Mycroft from the system. Big thanks to @gbaptista, @maxbachmann for helping out with this.

    msk 0.3.14

    We've come a long way since the early days, we moved on and changed our ways first python two had to go It's 2019 and support for 3.4 is gone so we'll follow suite drop this snake, yo, hope you enjoyed this hot take.

    Boom Mic drop.

    Actual release notes

    So as the poetry slam entry above indicated, as of this version (19.8.3) we join the rest of the Python community and dropping support for Python 3.4. This was originally planned for 19.8.0 but the packaging changes for the Mark-1 wasn't completed and tested in time. This change will allow us to start updating a couple of the dependencies to newer versions. We now officially support Python 3.5 - 3.7, 3.8 is on the horizon.

    Fix Wakeword messagebus message #2367

    The recognizer_loop:wakeword message wasn't sent until after the STT was complete. Thanks to the work of @speedfox-uk the message is now sent as soon as the wakeword is detected.

    STT and TTS error handling #2372, #2374

    In case of errors when starting up the TTS and STT systems would fail quitely, Error logging has been added and a fallback mechanism using the default services.

    Speed up external interaction with the messagebus #2371

    The simple send script in the messagebus used by some of the mycroft commandline tools (mycroft-speak, mycroft-say-to) has been sped up by not requiring the remote settings to be fetched.

    Due to a possible major bug (voice process going haywire and filling the disk) this release got moved forward a couple of days.

    Improve mic handling #2365, #2368

    Especially the Mic Array v2 seemed prone to throw IO errors, this release adds a basic restart control allowing it to recover in some cases. The change also adds some extra safety to the mute/unmute operations which could theoretically cause an issue. In addition this resolves a possible issue with looping logging if an IOError occured.

    Ask Selection #2302

    The new MycroftSkill.ask_selection() method adds a simple way of asking the user to choose between a number of options. Many thanks to @JarbasAl for designing it. Read more about the method in the api documentation

    Fix trigger listening over messagebus for Picroft #2366

    The restructuring of how the get_response() or speak() with exepect_response=True methods triggers listening missed a special case on the Picroft platform. This small one-line change resolves the issue.

  • release/v19.8.0(Sep 24, 2019)

    At long last the 19.08 release is here.

    During these last 8 weeks (time sure flies) we've focused on refactoring the code to improve maintainability and to make it easier to improve Mycroft in the future. This has led to some major shifts in the structure of Mycroft and some backwards-incompatible changes. Most of these changes was flagged in the 19.02.0 release and the ones that weren't generally doesn't impact skill developers.

    Depreciations

    • Skill settings: MycroftSkill.settings.store() and MycroftSkill.settings.set_changed_callback() are deprecated and will be removed in v20.02. mycroft.skills.settings.save_settings() will replace the first mentioned and MycroftSkill.settings_changed_callback can be set replacing the second. Secondly this adds warning about features of the settingsmeta that hasn't been used since the switch to the new backend.

    During the coming month we will look through and mark more deprecated features...

    The Breaks

    The following are the breaking changes included in this major release

    • MycroftSkill.config no longer exists. Any skill specific settings should be made using the settings.json in the skills folder.
    • the SkillManager api was reworked and will not work as previously, locks are missing etc.
    • the listener config parameter record_utterances was completely replaced with the save_utterances
    • Config.init() to setup bus connections for the process configuration was replaced by Config.set_config_update_handlers()
    • Message parameter (and member) type was renamed to msg_type
    • WebSocketClient was renamed to MessageBusClient
    • Skill settings feature protecting existing members during the skill initialization was removed. This was a rarely used and frankly confusing feature

    The big Reorganizations

    Skill process startup #2237, #2260, #2263, #2265, #2279, #2280, #2311, #2316

    Refactors the SkillManager, moving complex logic into a couple of helper classes SkillLoader and SkillUpdater. Refactors the startup code to a simpler flow. All of this makes the startup of skills much speedier.

    Skill Settings #2287, #2306, #2312, #2313, #2314, #2315, #2319, #2320

    Major restructure splitting the settings metadata from the actual settings. This restores the skill settings to a simple dict instead of a vastly complex object.

    Mycroft Skill #2256, #2276, #2281, #2296

    The MycroftSkill class was refactored moving some of the complexity into helper classes. This also makes way for adding some mycroft skill Utils

    Skill tester #2284

    The skill tester was reorganized to make the code easier to follow.

    The Improvements

    Pulseaudio ducking support #2282

    The TTS can now trigger pulseaudio role ducking of roles (like music and video) lowering playing media while Mycroft is speaking

    Improved operation without listening indicator #2267

    The recording sent to STT lost a couple of audio frames right after the wake word trigger, this stores and prepends the lost frames to the STT data.

    Handle Precise download errors #2245

    Precise download could fail due to network errors and never restart leaving the user with pocketsphinx wakeword. This allows retrying and will use an existing precise installation if available.

    Fedora install #2257

    @vegerot contributed an update to the dev_setup.sh to make it work better on Fedora. Many thanks!

    Mint install #2209

    @fermulator fixed a couple of issues related to detecting Debian like OSes, this adds support for Mint among other distributions. Many thanks!

    Keyword munging #2303

    Long time contributor @JarbasAI found and fixed an issue with the keyword munging causing intents to fail if the intent contained the skill id. As always great work!

    Fix Mimic 2 Cache usage #2301

    Fixes an issue when the playback of the utterance wouldn't start if the .pho file for a cached utterance was missing.

    Warn if packages may be uninstalled during dev_setup.sh #2268, #2275

    This warns if a conflict in Ubuntu could lead to packages being uninstalled.

    intent_handler decorator update #2221

    the @intent_handler() decorator can now be used with padatious .intent files as well as adapt intents.

    Updated swedish time and number handling #2234

    Big thanks to @c0r73x for fixing these issues!

    Flake8 cleanup #2241. #2242

    Many thanks to @cclauss for looking through the code and fixing these issues.

    Clean the unittest from mocks from the mock module #2274

    Instead use the builtin unittest.mock. Many thanks to @mathmauney for contributing this.

    Add support for bus.get_response in skill tester #2284

    Add a basic mock of the get_response() bus method.

    Log viewer tool #2277

    A simple tool for merging and viewing all mycroft log files.

    Configuration tool #2290

    This tool validates configuration files before storing them making it harder to destroy a config.

    Make connection test more robust #2305

    Make a dns lookup as part of the test to validate that part along with the reachability of the outside world.

    Pairing check updates #2180, #2248

    Make sure the pairing check fails early if the identity information is missing and only initiate pairing for 401 errors from STT services behind mycroft pairing.
