+## [1.0.0] - 2026-04-14
+
+Migration guide: https://docs.pipecat.ai/pipecat/migration/migration-1.0
+
+### Added
+
+- Updated LemonSlice transport:
+    - Added `on_avatar_connected` and `on_avatar_disconnected` events triggered
+      when the avatar joins and leaves the room.
+    - Added `api_url` parameter to `LemonSliceNewSessionRequest` to allow
+      overriding the LemonSlice API endpoint.
+    - Added support for passing arbitrary named parameters to the LemonSlice
+      API endpoint.
+  (PR [#3995](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/3995))
+
+- Added Inworld Realtime LLM service with WebSocket-based cascade STT/LLM/TTS,
+  semantic VAD, function calling, and Router support.
+  (PR [#4140](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4140))
+
+- ⚠️ Added WebSocket-based `OpenAIResponsesLLMService` as the new default for
+  the OpenAI Responses API. It maintains a persistent connection to
+  `wss://api.openai.com/v1/responses` and automatically uses
+  `previous_response_id` to send only incremental context, falling back to full
+  context on reconnection or cache miss. The previous HTTP-based implementation
+  is now available as `OpenAIResponsesHttpLLMService`.
+  (PR [#4141](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4141))
+
+- Added `group_parallel_tools` parameter to `LLMService` (default `True`). When
+  `True`, all function calls from the same LLM response batch share a group ID
+  and the LLM is triggered exactly once after the last call completes. Set to
+  `False` to trigger inference independently for each function call result as
+  it arrives.
+  (PR [#4217](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4217))
+
+- Added async function call support to `register_function()` and
+  `register_direct_function()` via `cancel_on_interruption=False`. When set to
+  `False`, the LLM continues the conversation immediately without waiting for
+  the function result. The result is injected back into the context as a
+  `developer` message once available, triggering a new LLM inference at that
+  point.
+  (PR [#4217](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4217))
+
+- Added `enable_prompt_caching` setting to `AWSBedrockLLMService` for Bedrock
+  ConverseStream prompt caching.
+  (PR [#4219](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4219))
+
+- Added support for streaming intermediate results from async function calls.
+  Call `result_callback` multiple times with
+  `properties=FunctionCallResultProperties(is_final=False)` to push incremental
+  updates, then call it once more (with `is_final=True`, the default) to
+  deliver the final result. Only valid for functions registered with
+  `cancel_on_interruption=False`.
+  (PR [#4230](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4230))
+
+- Added `LLMMessagesTransformFrame` to facilitate programmatically editing
+  context in a frame-based way.
+
+  The previous approach required the caller to directly grab a reference to
+  the context object, grab a "snapshot" of its messages _at that point in
+  time_, transform the messages, and then push an `LLMMessagesUpdateFrame` with
+  the transformed messages. This approach can lead to problems: what if there
+  had already been a change to the context queued in the pipeline? The
+  transformed messages would simply overwrite it without consideration.
+  (PR [#4231](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4231))
+
+- The development runner now exports a module-level `app` FastAPI instance
+  (`from pipecat.runner.run import app`) so you can register custom routes
+  before calling `main()`.
+  (PR [#4234](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4234))
+
+- `ToolsSchema` now accepts `custom_tools` for OpenAI LLM services
+  (`OpenAILLMService`, `OpenAIResponsesLLMService`,
+  `OpenAIResponsesHttpLLMService`, and `OpenAIRealtimeLLMService`), letting you
+  pass provider-specific tools like `tool_search` alongside standard function
+  tools.
+  (PR [#4248](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4248))
+
+- Added enhancements to `NvidiaTTSService`:
+
+  - Cross-sentence stitching: multiple sentences within an LLM turn are fed
+    into a single `SynthesizeOnline` gRPC stream for seamless audio across
+    sentence boundaries (requires Magpie TTS model v1.7.0+).
+  - `custom_dictionary` and `encoding` parameters for IPA-based custom
+    pronunciation and output audio encoding.
+  - Metrics generation (`can_generate_metrics` returns true) and
+    `stop_all_metrics()` when an audio context is interrupted.
+  - gRPC error handling around synthesis config retrieval
+    (`GetRivaSynthesisConfig`).
+  (PR [#4249](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4249))
+
+- Added `MistralTTSService` for streaming text-to-speech using Mistral's
+  Voxtral TTS API (`voxtral-mini-tts-2603`). Supports SSE-based audio streaming
+  with automatic resampling from the API's native 24kHz to any requested sample
+  rate. Requires the `mistral` optional extra (`pip install
+  pipecat-ai[mistral]`).
+  (PR [#4251](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4251))
+
+- Added `truncate_large_values` parameter to `LLMContext.get_messages()`. When
+  `True`, returns compact deep copies of messages with binary data (base64
+  images, audio) replaced by short placeholders and long string values in
+  LLM-specific messages recursively truncated. Useful for serialization,
+  logging, and debugging tools.
+  (PR [#4272](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4272))
+
+- `CartesiaSTTService` now supports runtime settings updates (e.g. changing
+  `language` or `model` via `STTUpdateSettingsFrame`). The service
+  automatically reconnects with the new parameters. Previously, settings
+  updates were silently ignored.
+  (PR [#4282](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4282))
+
+- Added `pcm_32000` and `pcm_48000` sample rate support to ElevenLabs TTS
+  services.
+  (PR [#4293](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4293))
+
+- Added `enable_logging` parameter to `ElevenLabsHttpTTSService`. Set to
+  `False` to enable zero retention mode (enterprise only).
+  (PR [#4293](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4293))
+
+### Changed
+
+- Updated `onnxruntime` from 1.23.2 to 1.24.3, adding support for Python 3.14.
+  (PR [#3984](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/3984))
+
+- MCPClient now requires async with MCPClient(...) as mcp: or explicit
+  start()/close() calls to manage the connection lifecycle.
+  (PR [#4034](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4034))
+
+- ⚠️ Updated `langchain` extra to require langchain 1.x (from 0.3.x),
+  langchain-community 0.4.x (from 0.3.x), and langchain-openai 1.x (from
+  0.3.x). If you pin these packages in your project, update your pins
+  accordingly.
+  (PR [#4192](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4192))
+
+- `WebsocketService` reconnection errors are now non-fatal. When a websocket
+  service exhausts its reconnection attempts (either via exponential backoff or
+  quick failure detection), it emits a non-fatal `ErrorFrame` instead of a
+  fatal one. This allows application-level failover (e.g. `ServiceSwitcher`) to
+  handle the failure instead of killing the entire pipeline.
+  (PR [#4201](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4201))
+
+- Changed `GrokLLMService` default model from `grok-3-beta` to `grok-3`, now
+  that the model is generally available.
+  (PR [#4209](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4209))
+
+- `GoogleImageGenService` now defaults to `imagen-4.0-generate-001` (previously
+  `imagen-3.0-generate-002`).
+  (PR [#4213](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4213))
+
+- ⚠️ `BaseOpenAILLMService.get_chat_completions()` now accepts an `LLMContext`
+  instead of `OpenAILLMInvocationParams`. If you override this method, update
+  your signature accordingly.
+  (PR [#4215](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4215))
+
+- When multiple function calls are returned in a single LLM response, by
+  default (when `group_parallel_tools=True`) the LLM is now triggered exactly
+  once after the last call in the batch completes, rather than waiting for all
+  function calls.
+  (PR [#4217](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4217))
+
+- ⚠️ `LLMService.function_call_timeout_secs` now defaults to `None` instead of
+  `10.0`. Deferred function calls will run indefinitely unless a timeout is
+  explicitly set at the service level or per-call. If you relied on the
+  previous 10-second default, pass `function_call_timeout_secs=10.0`
+  explicitly.
+  (PR [#4224](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4224))
+
+- Updated `NvidiaTTSService`:
+
+  - Made `api_key` optional for local NIM deployments.
+  - Voice, language, and quality can be updated without reconnecting the gRPC
+    client; new values take effect on the next synthesis turn, not for the
+    current turn's in-flight requests.
+  - Replaced per-sentence synchronous `synthesize_online` calls with async
+    queue-backed gRPC streaming.
+  - Streaming now uses asyncio tasks with explicit gRPC cancellation on
+    interruption and stale-response filtering when a stream is aborted or
+    replaced.
+  - Renamed Riva references to Nemotron Speech in docs and messages.
+  - Disabled automatic TTS start frames at the service level
+    (`push_start_frame=False`) and emit `TTSStartedFrame` when a stitched
+    synthesis stream is started for a context.
+  (PR [#4249](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4249))
+
+### Removed
+
+- ⚠️ Removed `OpenPipeLLMService` and the `openpipe` extra. OpenPipe was
+  acquired by CoreWeave and the package is no longer maintained. If you were
+  using `openpipe` as an LLM provider, switch to the underlying provider
+  directly (e.g. `openai`). The OpenPipe interface can still be used with
+  `OpenAILLMService` by specifying a `base_url`.
+  (PR [#4191](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4191))
+
+- ⚠️ Removed `NoisereduceFilter`. Use system-level noise reduction or a
+  service-based alternative instead.
+  (PR [#4204](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4204))
+
+- ⚠️ Removed deprecated `vad_enabled` and `vad_audio_passthrough` transport
+  params.
+  (PR [#4204](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4204))

+  `camera_out_color` transport params. Use the `video_in_*` and `video_out_*`
+  equivalents instead.
+  (PR [#4204](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4204))
+
+- ⚠️ Removed `FrameProcessor.wait_for_task()`. Use `create_task()` and manage
+  tasks with the built-in `TaskManager` instead.

+
+- ⚠️ Removed deprecated transport frames: `TransportMessageFrame`,
+  `TransportMessageUrgentFrame`, `InputTransportMessageUrgentFrame`,
+  `DailyTransportMessageFrame`, and `DailyTransportMessageUrgentFrame`. Use
+  `OutputTransportMessageFrame`, `OutputTransportMessageUrgentFrame`,
+  `InputTransportMessageFrame`, `DailyOutputTransportMessageFrame`, and
+  `DailyOutputTransportMessageUrgentFrame` instead.
+  (PR [#4204](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4204))
+

+  `RunnerArguments` instead.
+  (PR [#4204](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4204))
+
+- ⚠️ Removed deprecated `on_pipeline_ended`, `on_pipeline_cancelled`, and
+  `on_pipeline_stopped` events from `PipelineTask`. Use `on_pipeline_finished`
+  instead.
+  (PR [#4204](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4204))
+
+- ⚠️ Removed single-argument function call support from `LLMService`. Functions
+  must use named parameters instead of a single `arguments` parameter.
+  (PR [#4204](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4204))
+
+- ⚠️ Removed `FalSmartTurnAnalyzer` and `LocalSmartTurnAnalyzer`.
+  (PR [#4204](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4204))
+
+- ⚠️ Removed `RTVIObserver.errors_enabled` parameter.
+  (PR [#4204](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4204))
+
+- ⚠️ Removed deprecated RTVI models, frames, and processor methods including
+  `RTVIConfig`, `RTVIServiceConfig`, `RTVIServiceOptionConfig`, various
+  `RTVI*Data` models, `RTVIActionFrame`, and
+  `RTVIProcessor.handle_function_call`/`handle_function_call_start`. Use the
+  updated RTVI processor API instead.
+  (PR [#4204](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4204))
+
+- ⚠️ Removed deprecated `KeypadEntryFrame` alias.
+  (PR [#4204](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4204))
+
+- ⚠️ Removed deprecated interruption frames: `StartInterruptionFrame` and

+  instead.
+  (PR [#4204](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4204))
+
+- ⚠️ Removed `LLMService.request_image_frame()`. Push a `UserImageRequestFrame`
+  instead.
+  (PR [#4204](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4204))
+
+- ⚠️ Removed `TTSService.say()`. Push a `TTSSpeakFrame` into the pipeline
+  instead.
+  (PR [#4204](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4204))
+
+- ⚠️ Removed `KrispFilter`. The `krisp` extra has been removed from
+  `pyproject.toml`.
+  (PR [#4204](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4204))
+
+- ⚠️ Removed `AudioBufferProcessor.user_continuous_stream` parameter. Use

+
+- ⚠️ Removed deprecated `GoogleLLMOpenAIBetaService` from
+  `pipecat.services.google.openai`. Use `GoogleLLMService` from
+  `pipecat.services.google.llm` instead.
+  (PR [#4208](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4208))
+
+- ⚠️ Removed deprecated `OpenAIRealtimeBetaLLMService` and
+  `AzureRealtimeBetaLLMService`. Use `OpenAIRealtimeLLMService` and
+  `AzureRealtimeLLMService` from `pipecat.services.openai.realtime` and
+  `pipecat.services.azure.realtime` instead.
+  (PR [#4208](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4208))
+
+- ⚠️ Removed deprecated `pipecat.services.ai_services` module. Import from
+  `pipecat.services.ai_service`, `pipecat.services.llm_service`,
+  `pipecat.services.stt_service`, `pipecat.services.tts_service`, etc. instead.
+  (PR [#4208](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4208))
+
+- ⚠️ Removed deprecated `pipecat.services.gemini_multimodal_live` package. Use
+  `pipecat.services.google.gemini_live` instead. Note that class names no
+  longer include "Multimodal" (e.g. `GeminiMultimodalLiveLLMService` →
+  `GeminiLiveLLMService`).
+  (PR [#4208](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4208))
+
+- ⚠️ Removed deprecated `pipecat.services.google.gemini_live.llm_vertex`
+  module. Use `pipecat.services.google.gemini_live.vertex.llm` instead.
+  (PR [#4208](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4208))
+
+- ⚠️ Removed deprecated `pipecat.services.nim` package. Use
+  `pipecat.services.nvidia.llm` instead (`NimLLMService` → `NvidiaLLMService`).
+  (PR [#4208](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4208))
+
+- ⚠️ Removed deprecated `pipecat.services.deepgram.stt_sagemaker` and
+  `pipecat.services.deepgram.tts_sagemaker` modules. Use
+  `pipecat.services.deepgram.sagemaker.stt` and
+  `pipecat.services.deepgram.sagemaker.tts` instead.
+  (PR [#4208](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4208))
+
+- ⚠️ Removed deprecated `pipecat.services.aws_nova_sonic` package. Use
+  `pipecat.services.aws.nova_sonic` instead.
+  (PR [#4208](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4208))
+
+- ⚠️ Removed deprecated `pipecat.services.riva` package. Use
+  `pipecat.services.nvidia.stt` and `pipecat.services.nvidia.tts` instead
+  (`RivaSTTService` → `NvidiaSTTService`, `RivaTTSService` →
+  `NvidiaTTSService`).
+  (PR [#4208](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4208))
+
+- ⚠️ Removed deprecated compatibility modules:
+  `pipecat.services.openai_realtime_beta` (use
+  `pipecat.services.openai.realtime`),
+  `pipecat.services.openai_realtime.context`,
+  `pipecat.services.openai_realtime.frames`,
+  `pipecat.services.openai.realtime.context`,
+  `pipecat.services.openai.realtime.frames`,
+  `pipecat.services.gemini_multimodal_live` (use
+  `pipecat.services.google.gemini_live`),
+  `pipecat.services.aws_nova_sonic.context` (use
+  `pipecat.services.aws.nova_sonic`), `pipecat.services.google.openai` and

+
+- ⚠️ Removed `VisionImageFrameAggregator` (from
+  `pipecat.processors.aggregators.vision_image_frame`). Vision/image handling
+  is now built into `LLMContext` (from
+  `pipecat.processors.aggregators.llm_context`). See the `12*` examples for the
+  recommended replacement pattern.
+  (PR [#4215](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4215))
+
+- ⚠️ Removed `OpenAILLMContext`, `OpenAILLMContextFrame`, and
+  `OpenAILLMContext.from_messages()`. Use `LLMContext` (from
+  `pipecat.processors.aggregators.llm_context`) and `LLMContextFrame` (from
+  `pipecat.frames.frames`) instead. All services now exclusively use the
+  universal `LLMContext`.
+
+  From the developer's point of view, migrating will usually be a matter of
+  going from this:
+
+    ```python
+    context = OpenAILLMContext(messages, tools)
+    context_aggregator = llm.create_context_aggregator(context)
+    ```
+
+    To this:
+
+    ```python
+    from pipecat.processors.aggregators.llm_context import LLMContext
+    from pipecat.processors.aggregators.llm_response_universal import LLMContextAggregatorPair
+
+    context = LLMContext(messages, tools)
+    context_aggregator = LLMContextAggregatorPair(context)
+    ```
+  (PR [#4215](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4215))
+
+- ⚠️ Removed deprecated frame types `LLMMessagesFrame` and
+  `OpenAILLMContextAssistantTimestampFrame` from `pipecat.frames.frames`.
+  Instead of `LLMMessagesFrame`, use `LLMContextFrame` with the new messages,
+  or `LLMMessagesUpdateFrame` with `run_llm=True`.
+  (PR [#4215](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4215))
+
+- ⚠️ Removed `GatedOpenAILLMContextAggregator` (from
+  `pipecat.processors.aggregators.gated_open_ai_llm_context`). Use
+  `GatedLLMContextAggregator` (from
+  `pipecat.processors.aggregators.gated_llm_context`) instead.
+  (PR [#4215](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4215))
+
+- ⚠️ Removed deprecated service-specific context and aggregator machinery,
+  which was superseded by the universal `LLMContext` system.
+
+  Service-specific classes removed: `AnthropicLLMContext`,
+  `AnthropicContextAggregatorPair`, `AWSBedrockLLMContext`,
+  `AWSBedrockContextAggregatorPair`, `OpenAIContextAggregatorPair`, and their
+  user/assistant aggregators. Also removed `create_context_aggregator()` from
+  `LLMService`, `OpenAILLMService`, `AnthropicLLMService`, and
+  `AWSBedrockLLMService`.
+
+  Base aggregator classes removed (from
+  `pipecat.processors.aggregators.llm_response`): `BaseLLMResponseAggregator`,
+  `LLMContextResponseAggregator`, `LLMUserContextAggregator`,
+  `LLMAssistantContextAggregator`, `LLMUserResponseAggregator`,
+  `LLMAssistantResponseAggregator`.
+
+  From the developer's point of view, migrating will usually be a matter of
+  going from this:
+
+    ```python
+    context = OpenAILLMContext(messages, tools)
+    context_aggregator = llm.create_context_aggregator(context)
+    ```
+
+    To this:
+
+    ```python
+    from pipecat.processors.aggregators.llm_context import LLMContext
+    from pipecat.processors.aggregators.llm_response_universal import LLMContextAggregatorPair
+
+    context = LLMContext(messages, tools)
+    context_aggregator = LLMContextAggregatorPair(context)
+    ```
+  (PR [#4215](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4215))
+
+- ⚠️ Removed deprecated service parameters and shims that have been replaced by
+  the `settings=Service.Settings(...)` pattern or direct `__init__` parameters:
+    - `PollyTTSService` alias (use `AWSTTSService`)
+    - `TTSService`: `text_aggregator`, `text_filter` init params
+    - `AWSNovaSonicLLMService`: `send_transcription_frames` init param
+    - `DeepgramSTTService`: `url` init param (use `base_url`)
+    - `FishAudioTTSService`: `model` init param (use `reference_id` or
+      `settings`)
+    - `GladiaSTTService`: `language` and `confidence` from `GladiaInputParams`,
+      `InputParams` class alias
+    - `GeminiTTSService`: `api_key` init param
+    - `GeminiLiveLLMService`: `base_url` init param (use `http_options`)
+    - `GoogleVertexLLMService`: `InputParams` class with
+      `location`/`project_id` fields (use direct init params); `project_id` is now
+      required, `location` defaults to `"us-east4"`
+    - `MiniMaxHttpTTSService`: `english_normalization` from `InputParams` (use
+      `text_normalization`)
+    - `SimliVideoService`: `simli_config` init param (use `api_key`/`face_id`),
+      `use_turn_server` init param; `api_key` and `face_id` are now required

+  (PR [#4235](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4235))
+
+- Removed the empty `remote-smart-turn` install extra (was already a no-op).
+  (PR [#4235](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4235))
+
+- ⚠️ Removed `DeprecatedModuleProxy` and all service `__init__.py` re-export
+  shims. Flat imports like `from pipecat.services.openai import
+  OpenAILLMService` no longer work. Use the full submodule path instead: `from
+  pipecat.services.openai.llm import OpenAILLMService`. This is already the
+  established pattern across all examples and internal code.
+  (PR [#4239](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4239))
+
+- ⚠️ Removed deprecated `PIPECAT_OBSERVER_FILES` environment variable support.
+  Use `PIPECAT_SETUP_FILES` instead.
+  (PR [#4267](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4267))
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed `IdleFrameProcessor` where `asyncio.Event` was unconditionally cleared
+  in a `finally` block instead of only on the success path.
+  (PR [#3796](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/3796))
+
+- Fixed MCPClient opening a new connection for every tool call instead of
+  reusing the session.
+  (PR [#4034](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4034))
+
+- GoogleLLMService now applies a low-latency thinking default
+  (`thinking_level="minimal"`) for Gemini 3+ Flash models.
+  (PR [#4067](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4067))
+
+- Fixed `WebsocketService` entering an infinite reconnection loop when a server
+  accepts the WebSocket handshake but immediately closes the connection (e.g.
+  invalid API key, close code 1008). The service now detects connections that
+  fail repeatedly within seconds of being established and stops retrying after
+  3 consecutive quick failures.
+  (PR [#4201](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4201))
+
+- Fixed `InworldHttpTTSService` streaming responses crashing with
+  `UnicodeDecodeError` when multi-byte UTF-8 characters were split across chunk
+  boundaries. This caused TTS audio to cut off mid-sentence intermittently.
+  (PR [#4202](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4202))
+
+- Fixed a crash (`JSONDecodeError`) when a user interruption occurs while the
+  LLM is streaming function call arguments. Previously, the incomplete JSON
+  arguments were passed directly to `json.loads()`, causing an unhandled
+  exception. Affected services: OpenAI, Google (OpenAI-compatible), and
+  SambaNova.
+  (PR [#4203](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4203))
+
+- Fixed `BaseOutputTransport` discarding pending `UninterruptibleFrame` items
+  (e.g. function-call context updates) when an interruption arrived. The audio
+  task is now kept alive and only interruptible frames are drained when
+  uninterruptible frames are present in the queue.
+  (PR [#4217](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4217))
+
+- Fixed spurious LLM inference being triggered when a function call result
+  arrived while the user was actively speaking. The context frame is now
+  suppressed until the user stops speaking.
+  (PR [#4217](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4217))
+
+- Fixed `CartesiaTTSService` failing with "Context has closed" errors when
+  switching voice, model, or language via `TTSUpdateSettingsFrame`. The service
+  now automatically flushes the current audio context and opens a fresh one
+  when these settings change.
+  (PR [#4220](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4220))
+
+- Fixed duplicate LLM replies that could occur when multiple async function
+  call results arrived while an LLM request was already queued.
+  (PR [#4230](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4230))
+
+- Fixed undefined `_warn_deprecated_param` calls in `OpenAIRealtimeLLMService`
+  and `GrokRealtimeLLMService` for the deprecated `session_properties` init
+  parameter.
+  (PR [#4232](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4232))
+
+- Fixed Gemini Live bot hanging after a session resumption reconnect. Audio,
+  video, and text input were silently dropped after reconnecting because the
+  internal `_ready_for_realtime_input` flag was not being reset.
+  (PR [#4242](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4242))
+
+- Fixed `VADController` getting stuck in the `SPEAKING` state when audio frames
+  stop arriving mid-speech (e.g. user mutes mic). A new `audio_idle_timeout`
+  parameter (default 1s, set to 0 to disable) forces a transition back to
+  `QUIET` and emits `on_speech_stopped` when no audio is received while
+  speaking.
+  (PR [#4244](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4244))
+
+- Fixed `PipelineRunner._gc_collect()` blocking the event loop by running
+  `gc.collect()` synchronously. Now offloaded via `asyncio.to_thread` to avoid
+  stalling concurrent pipeline tasks.
+  (PR [#4255](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4255))
+
+- Fixed `ElevenLabsTTSService` incorrectly enabling `auto_mode` when using
+  `TextAggregationMode.TOKEN`. Auto mode disables server-side buffering and is
+  designed for complete sentences — enabling it with token streaming degraded
+  speech quality. The default is now derived automatically from the aggregation
+  strategy: `auto_mode=True` for `SENTENCE`, `auto_mode=False` for `TOKEN`.
+  Callers can still override by passing `auto_mode` explicitly.
+  (PR [#4265](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4265))
+
+- Fixed `ValueError: write to closed file` during pipeline shutdown when
+  observers were active. Observer proxy tasks are now cancelled before observer
+  resources are cleaned up.
+  (PR [#4267](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4267))
+
+- Fixed delayed turn completion when STT transcripts arrive after the p99
+  timeout. Previously, a late transcript (beyond the p99 window) would fall
+  through to the 5-second `user_turn_stop_timeout` fallback. Now the turn stop
+  triggers immediately when the late transcript arrives.
+  (PR [#4283](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4283))
+
+- Fixed `ElevenLabsTTSService` ignoring `enable_logging=False` and
+  `enable_ssml_parsing=False`. The truthy check treated `False` the same as
+  `None` (both skipped), and Python's `str(False)` produced `"False"` instead
+  of the lowercase `"false"` expected by the API.
+  (PR [#4293](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4293))
+
+- Fixed `on_assistant_turn_stopped` not resetting internal state when the LLM
+  returned no text tokens. Added `interrupted` field to
+  `AssistantTurnStoppedMessage` to indicate whether the assistant turn was
+  interrupted.
+  (PR [#4294](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4294))
+
+- Fixed `LLMContextSummarizer` failing with "No messages to summarize" when
+  using `system_instruction` instead of a system-role message at the start of
+  the context. The summarizer previously scanned the entire context for the
+  first system message, which could match a mid-conversation injection (e.g.
+  idle notifications) instead of the initial prompt, causing the summarization
+  range to be empty.
+  (PR [#4295](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/4295))
+

-- ⚠️ Removed deprecated service-specific context and aggregator machinery, which was superseded by the universal `LLMContext` system.
-
-  Service-specific classes removed: `AnthropicLLMContext`, `AnthropicContextAggregatorPair`, `AWSBedrockLLMContext`, `AWSBedrockContextAggregatorPair`, `OpenAIContextAggregatorPair`, and their user/assistant aggregators. Also removed `create_context_aggregator()` from `LLMService`, `OpenAILLMService`, `AnthropicLLMService`, and `AWSBedrockLLMService`.

-

-  context = OpenAILLMContext(messages, tools)

-- Added `LLMMessagesTransformFrame` to facilitate programmatically editing context in a frame-based way.
-
-  The previous approach required the caller to directly grab a reference to the context object, grab a "snapshot" of its messages _at that point in time_, transform the messages, and then push an `LLMMessagesUpdateFrame` with the transformed messages. This approach can lead to problems: what if there had already been a change to the context queued in the pipeline? The transformed messages would simply overwrite it without consideration.

-- Added enhancements to `NvidiaTTSService`:

-  - `custom_dictionary` and `encoding` parameters for IPA-based custom pronunciation and output audio encoding.
-  - Metrics generation (`can_generate_metrics` returns true) and `stop_all_metrics()` when an audio context is interrupted.
-  - gRPC error handling around synthesis config retrieval (`GetRivaSynthesisConfig`).

-- Updated `NvidiaTTSService`:
-
-  - Made `api_key` optional for local NIM deployments.
-  - Voice, language, and quality can be updated without reconnecting the gRPC client; new values take effect on the next synthesis turn, not for the current turn's in-flight requests.
-  - Replaced per-sentence synchronous `synthesize_online` calls with async queue-backed gRPC streaming.
-  - Streaming now uses asyncio tasks with explicit gRPC cancellation on interruption and stale-response filtering when a stream is aborted or replaced.
-  - Renamed Riva references to Nemotron Speech in docs and messages.
-  - Disabled automatic TTS start frames at the service level (`push_start_frame=False`) and emit `TTSStartedFrame` when a stitched synthesis stream is started for a context.
