+- Added `WatchdogQueue`, `WatchdogPriorityQueue`, `WatchdogEvent` and

+  timers are disabled by default and can be enabled by passing
+  `enable_watchdog_timers` argument to `PipelineTask` constructor. It is
   possible to change the default watchdog timer timeout by using the
-  `watchdog_timeout` constructor argument when creating a `PipelineTask`. With
-  watchdog timers it is also possible to log how long each processing step is
-  taking (e.g. processing an element from a queue inside a task). This is done
-  with the `enable_watchdog_logging` constructor argument when creating a
-  `PipelineTask.` It is also possible to control these two values per each frame
-  processor. That is, you can set set `enable_watchdog_logging` and
-  `watchdog_timeout` when creating any frame processor through their constructor
-  arguments. Finally, you can also set these values per task. So, if you are
-  writing a frame processor that creates multiple tasks and you only want to
-  enable logging for one of them, you can do so by passing the same argument
-  names to the `FrameProcessor.create_task()` function. Note that watchdog
-  timers only work with Pipecat tasks but not if you use `asycio.create_task()`
