Distro support (#1798, #1799)
Package list for Arch Linux and OpenSuse updated.
Updates for python 3.7
- Fix python 3.7 issues in padaos #1794
A couple of regexes would fail due to a minor change in how python handles incorrect escape sequences. - update pyyaml module requirement #1807
This would invariably fail to build under python 3.7, to fix the latest version was included. Big thanks to @KathyReid and @adocampo for providing the solution.
Date time updates
- a
default_timeoptional parameter has been added toextract_datetime(). #1804, #1808
This can be set to a time so if no time is included in the input string (for example on friday the 13) the time is set to the default_time instead of midnight. This can be useful when setting a reminder on a specific date for example. utc_now()now returns datetime objects including timezone #1811
Spanish text parsing functions updated (#1571)
Adding spanish support for extract_number() and extract_datetime(). Huge shout out to @adocampo for providing these!
Updates for skill writers
- translate_namedvalues now produce an ordered dict so the values can be ordered by priority in the .list file. #1816
- schedule_event() now accept integers as well as datetime. #1813
An int will be considered a relative time and will schedule the event X seconds from now. - Add optional parameter
waittospeakandspeak_dialog#1812
This will make the methods block until Mycroft has finished speaking. - Strip trailing blank lines from translated files (.dialog, .list) #1817
In a few places trailing blank lines would cause issues, since these are generally not wanted they're removed.
Support for downloading precise model by wake word name #1810
When more wake words are added the precise models will now automatically download and be used if they're available, otherwise it'll fall back to pocketsphinx.
