+  setter functions.
+
+- Added `sample_rate` as a constructor parameter for TTS services.
+
+- Pipecat has a pipeline-based architecture. The pipeline consists of frame
+  processors linked to each other. The elements traveling across the pipeline
+  are called frames.
+
+  To have a deterministic behavior the frames traveling through the pipeline
+  should always be ordered, except system frames which are out-of-band
+  frames. To achieve that, each frame processor should only output frames from a
+  single task.
+
+  In this version we introduce synchronous and asynchronous frame
+  processors. The synchronous processors push output frames from the same task
+  that they receive input frames, and therefore only pushing frames from one
+  task. Asynchronous frame processors can have internal tasks to perform things
+  asynchronously (e.g. receiving data from a websocket) but they also have a
+  single task where they push frames from.
+
+  By default, frame processors are synchronous. To change a frame processor to
+  asynchronous you only need to pass `sync=False` to the base class constructor.

 ### Changed
 
+- We now distinguish between input and output audio and image frames. We
+  introduce `InputAudioRawFrame`, `OutputAudioRawFrame`, `InputImageRawFrame`
+  and `OutputImageRawFrame` (and other subclasses of those). The input frames
+  usually come from an input transport and are meant to be processed inside the
+  pipeline to generate new frames. However, the input frames will not be sent
+  through an output transport. The output frames can also be processed by any
+  frame processor in the pipeline and they are allowed to be sent by the output
+  transport.
+
+- `ParallelTask` has been renamed to `SyncParallelPipeline`. A
+  `SyncParallelPipeline` is a frame processor that contains a list of different
+  pipelines to be executed concurrently. The difference between a
+  `SyncParallelPipeline` and a `ParallelPipeline` is that, given an input frame,
+  the `SyncParallelPipeline` will wait for all the internal pipelines to
+  complete. This is achieved by ensuring all the processors in each of the
+  internal pipelines are synchronous.
+
+- `StartFrame` is back a system frame so we make sure it's processed immediately
+  by all processors. `EndFrame` stays a control frame since it needs to be
+  ordered allowing the frames in the pipeline to be processed.
+
+- Updated `MoondreamService` revision to `2024-08-26`.

 - `CartesiaTTSService` and `ElevenLabsTTSService` now add presentation
   timestamps to their text output. This allows the output transport to push the

+  tasks (after receiving and `EndFrame`) before the internal queue was emptied,
+  causing the pipeline to finish prematurely.

 - `StartFrame` should be the first frame every processor receives to avoid
