-## [Unreleased]
+## [0.0.57] - 2025-02-14
+
+### Added
+
+- Added new `AudioContextWordTTSService`. This is a TTS base class for TTS
+  services that handling multiple separate audio requests.
+
+- Added new frames `EmulateUserStartedSpeakingFrame` and
+  `EmulateUserStoppedSpeakingFrame` which can be used to emulated VAD behavior
+  without VAD being present or not being triggered.
+
+- Added a new `audio_in_stream_on_start` field to `TransportParams`.
+
+- Added a new method `start_audio_in_streaming` in the `BaseInputTransport`.
+
+  - This method should be used to start receiving the input audio in case the
+    field `audio_in_stream_on_start` is set to `false`.
+
+- Added support for the `RTVIProcessor` to handle buffered audio in `base64`
+  format, converting it into InputAudioRawFrame for transport.
+
+- Added support for the `RTVIProcessor` to trigger `start_audio_in_streaming`
+  only after the `client-ready` message.
+
+- Added new `MUTE_UNTIL_FIRST_BOT_COMPLETE` strategy to `STTMuteStrategy`. This
+  strategy starts muted and remains muted until the first bot speech completes,
+  ensuring the bot's first response cannot be interrupted. This complements the
+  existing `FIRST_SPEECH` strategy which only mutes during the first detected
+  bot speech.
+
+- Added support for Google Cloud Speech-to-Text V2 through `GoogleSTTService`.
+
+- Added `RimeTTSService`, a new `WordTTSService`. Updated the foundational
+  example `07q-interruptible-rime.py` to use `RimeTTSService`.
+
+- Added support for Groq's Whisper API through the new `GroqSTTService` and
+  OpenAI's Whisper API through the new `OpenAISTTService`. Introduced a new
+  base class `BaseWhisperSTTService` to handle common Whisper API
+  functionality.
+
+- Added `PerplexityLLMService` for Perplexity NIM API integration, with an
+  OpenAI-compatible interface. Also, added foundational example
+  `14n-function-calling-perplexity.py`.
+
+- Added `DailyTransport.update_remote_participants()`. This allows you to update
+  remote participant's settings, like their permissions or which of their
+  devices are enabled. Requires that the local participant have participant
+  admin permission.
+
+### Changed
+
+- We don't consider a colon `:` and end of sentence any more.
+
+- Updated `DailyTransport` to respect the `audio_in_stream_on_start` field,
+  ensuring it only starts receiving the audio input if it is enabled.
+
+- Updated `FastAPIWebsocketOutputTransport` to send `TransportMessageFrame` and
+  `TransportMessageUrgentFrame` to the serializer.
+
+- Updated `WebsocketServerOutputTransport` to send `TransportMessageFrame` and
+  `TransportMessageUrgentFrame` to the serializer.
+
+- Enhanced `STTMuteConfig` to validate strategy combinations, preventing
+  `MUTE_UNTIL_FIRST_BOT_COMPLETE` and `FIRST_SPEECH` from being used together
+  as they handle first bot speech differently.
+
+- Updated foundational example `07n-interruptible-google.py` to use all Google
+  services.
+
+- `RimeHttpTTSService` now uses the `mistv2` model by default.
+
+- Improved error handling in `AzureTTSService` to properly detect and log
+  synthesis cancellation errors.
+
+- Enhanced `WhisperSTTService` with full language support and improved model
+  documentation.
+
+- Updated foundation example `14f-function-calling-groq.py` to use
+  `GroqSTTService` for transcription.
+
+- Updated `GroqLLMService` to use `llama-3.3-70b-versatile` as the default
+  model.
+
+- `RTVIObserver` doesn't handle `LLMSearchResponseFrame` frames anymore. For
+  now, to handle those frames you need to create a `GoogleRTVIObserver`
+  instead.
+
+### Deprecated
+
+- `STTMuteFilter` constructor's `stt_service` parameter is now deprecated and
+  will be removed in a future version. The filter now manages mute state
+  internally instead of querying the STT service.
+
+- `RTVI.observer()` is now deprecated, instantiate an `RTVIObserver` directly
+  instead.
+
+- All RTVI frame processors (e.g. `RTVISpeakingProcessor`,
+  `RTVIBotLLMProcessor`) are now deprecated, instantiate an `RTVIObserver`
+  instead.
 
 ### Fixed
 
+- Fixed a `FalImageGenService` issue that was causing the event loop to be
+  blocked while loading the downloadded image.
+
+- Fixed a `CartesiaTTSService` service issue that would cause audio overlapping
+  in some cases.
+
+- Fixed a websocket-based service issue (e.g. `CartesiaTTSService`) that was
+  preventing a reconnection after the server disconnected cleanly, which was
+  causing an inifite loop instead.
+
+- Fixed a `BaseOutputTransport` issue that was causing upstream frames to no be
+  pushed upstream.
+
+- Fixed multiple issue where user transcriptions where not being handled
+  properly. It was possible for short utterances to not trigger VAD which would
+  cause user transcriptions to be ignored. It was also possible for one or more
+  transcriptions to be generated after VAD in which case they would also be
+  ignored.
+
+- Fixed an issue that was causing `BotStoppedSpeakingFrame` to be generated too
+  late. This could then cause issues unblocking `STTMuteFilter` later than
+  desired.
+
+- Fixed an issue that was causing `AudioBufferProcessor` to not record
+  synchronized audio.
+
+- Fixed an `RTVI` issue that was causing `bot-tts-text` messages to be sent
+  before being processed by the output transport.
+
+- Fixed an issue[#1192] in 11labs where we are trying to reconnect/disconnect
+  the websocket connection even when the connection is already closed.
+
+- Fixed an issue where `has_regular_messages` condition was always true in
+  `GoogleLLMContext` due to `Part` having `function_call` & `function_response`
+  with `None` values.
+
+### Other
+
+- Added new `instant-voice` example. This example showcases how to enable
+  instant voice communication as soon as a user connects.
+
+- Added new `local-input-select-stt` example. This examples allows you to play
+  with local audio inputs by slecting them through a nice text interface.
+
+## [0.0.56] - 2025-02-06
+
+### Changed
+
+- Use `gemini-2.0-flash-001` as the default model for `GoogleLLMSerivce`.
+
+- Improved foundational examples 22b, 22c, and 22d to support function calling.
+  With these base examples, `FunctionCallInProgressFrame` and
+  `FunctionCallResultFrame` will no longer be blocked by the gates.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed a `TkLocalTransport` and `LocalAudioTransport` issues that was causing
+  errors on cleanup.
+
+- Fixed an issue that was causing `tests.utils` import to fail because of
+  logging setup.
+
+- Fixed a `SentryMetrics` issue that was preventing any metrics to be sent to
+  Sentry and also was preventing from metrics frames to be pushed to the
+  pipeline.
+
+- Fixed an issue in `BaseOutputTransport` where incoming audio would not be
+  resampled to the desired output sample rate.
+
+- Fixed an issue with the `TwilioFrameSerializer` and `TelnyxFrameSerializer`
+  where `twilio_sample_rate` and `telnyx_sample_rate` were incorrectly
+  initialized to `audio_in_sample_rate`. Those values currently default to 8000
+  and should be set manually from the serializer constructor if a different
+  value is needed.
+
+### Other
+
+- Added a new `sentry-metrics` example.
+
+## [0.0.55] - 2025-02-05
+
+### Added
+
+- Added a new `start_metadata` field to `PipelineParams`. The provided metadata
+  will be set to the initial `StartFrame` being pushed from the `PipelineTask`.
+
+- Added new fields to `PipelineParams` to control audio input and output sample
+  rates for the whole pipeline. This allows controlling sample rates from a
+  single place instead of having to specify sample rates in each
+  service. Setting a sample rate to a service is still possible and will
+  override the value from `PipelineParams`.
+
+- Introduce audio resamplers (`BaseAudioResampler`). This is just a base class
+  to implement audio resamplers. Currently, two implementations are provided
+  `SOXRAudioResampler` and `ResampyResampler`. A new
+  `create_default_resampler()` has been added (replacing the now deprecated
+  `resample_audio()`).
+
+- It is now possible to specify the asyncio event loop that a `PipelineTask` and
+  all the processors should run on by passing it as a new argument to the
+  `PipelineRunner`. This could allow running pipelines in multiple threads each
+  one with its own event loop.
+
+- Added a new `utils.TaskManager`. Instead of a global task manager we now have
+  a task manager per `PipelineTask`. In the previous version the task manager
+  was global, so running multiple simultaneous `PipelineTask`s could result in
+  dangling task warnings which were not actually true. In order, for all the
+  processors to know about the task manager, we pass it through the
+  `StartFrame`. This means that processors should create tasks when they receive
+  a `StartFrame` but not before (because they don't have a task manager yet).
+
+- Added `TelnyxFrameSerializer` to support Telnyx calls. A full running example
+  has also been added to `examples/telnyx-chatbot`.
+
+- Allow pushing silence audio frames before `TTSStoppedFrame`. This might be
+  useful for testing purposes, for example, passing bot audio to an STT service
+  which usually needs additional audio data to detect the utterance stopped.
+
+- `TwilioSerializer` now supports transport message frames. With this we can
+  create Twilio emulators.
+
+- Added a new transport: `WebsocketClientTransport`.
+
+- Added a `metadata` field to `Frame` which makes it possible to pass custom
+  data to all frames.
+
+- Added `test/utils.py` inside of pipecat package.
+
+### Changed
+
+- `GatedOpenAILLMContextAggregator` now require keyword arguments. Also, a new
+  `start_open` argument has been added to set the initial state of the gate.
+
+- Added `organization` and `project` level authentication to
+  `OpenAILLMService`.
+
+- Improved the language checking logic in `ElevenLabsTTSService` and
+  `ElevenLabsHttpTTSService` to properly handle language codes based on model
+  compatibility, with appropriate warnings when language codes cannot be
+  applied.
+
+- Updated `GoogleLLMContext` to support pushing `LLMMessagesUpdateFrame`s that
+  contain a combination of function calls, function call responses, system
+  messages, or just messages.
+
+- `InputDTMFFrame` is now based on `DTMFFrame`. There's also a new
+  `OutputDTMFFrame` frame.
+
+### Deprecated
+
+- `resample_audio()` is now deprecated, use `create_default_resampler()`
+  instead.
+
+### Removed
+
+- `AudioBufferProcessor.reset_audio_buffers()` has been removed, use
+  `AudioBufferProcessor.start_recording()` and
+  `AudioBufferProcessor.stop_recording()` instead.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed a `AudioBufferProcessor` that would cause crackling in some recordings.
+
+- Fixed an issue in `AudioBufferProcessor` where user callback would not be
+  called on task cancellation.
+
+- Fixed an issue in `AudioBufferProcessor` that would cause wrong silence
+  padding in some cases.
+
+- Fixed an issue where `ElevenLabsTTSService` messages would return a 1009
+  websocket error by increasing the max message size limit to 16MB.
+
+- Fixed a `DailyTransport` issue that would cause events to be triggered before
+  join finished.
+
+- Fixed a `PipelineTask` issue that was preventing processors to be cleaned up
+  after cancelling the task.
+
+- Fixed an issue where queuing a `CancelFrame` to a pipeline task would not
+  cause the task to finish. However, using `PipelineTask.cancel()` is still the
+  recommended way to cancel a task.
+
+### Other
+
+- Improved Unit Test `run_test()` to use `PipelineTask` and
+  `PipelineRunner`. There's now also some control around `StartFrame` and
+  `EndFrame`. The `EndTaskFrame` has been removed since it doesn't seem
+  necessary with this new approach.
+
+- Updated `twilio-chatbot` with a few new features: use 8000 sample rate and
+  avoid resampling, a new client useful for stress testing and testing locally
+  without the need to make phone calls. Also, added audio recording on both the
+  client and the server to make sure the audio sounds good.
+
+- Updated examples to use `task.cancel()` to immediately exit the example when a
+  participant leaves or disconnects, instead of pushing an `EndFrame`. Pushing
+  an `EndFrame` causes the bot to run through everything that is internally
+  queued (which could take some seconds). Note that using `task.cancel()` might
+  not always be the best option and pushing an `EndFrame` could still be
+  desirable to make sure all the pipeline is flushed.
+
+## [0.0.54] - 2025-01-27
+
+### Added
+
+- In order to create tasks in Pipecat frame processors it is now recommended to
+  use `FrameProcessor.create_task()` (which uses the new
+  `utils.asyncio.create_task()`). It takes care of uncaught exceptions, task
+  cancellation handling and task management. To cancel or wait for a task there
+  is `FrameProcessor.cancel_task()` and `FrameProcessor.wait_for_task()`. All of
+  Pipecat processors have been updated accordingly. Also, when a pipeline runner
+  finishes, a warning about dangling tasks might appear, which indicates if any
+  of the created tasks was never cancelled or awaited for (using these new
+  functions).
+
+- It is now possible to specify the period of the `PipelineTask` heartbeat
+  frames with `heartbeats_period_secs`.
+
+- Added `DailyMeetingTokenProperties` and `DailyMeetingTokenParams` Pydantic models
+  for meeting token creation in `get_token` method of `DailyRESTHelper`.
+
+- Added `enable_recording` and `geo` parameters to `DailyRoomProperties`.
+
+- Added `RecordingsBucketConfig` to `DailyRoomProperties` to upload recordings
+  to a custom AWS bucket.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Enhanced `UserIdleProcessor` with retry functionality and control over idle
+  monitoring via new callback signature `(processor, retry_count) -> bool`.
+  Updated the `17-detect-user-idle.py` to show how to use the `retry_count`.
+
+- Add defensive error handling for `OpenAIRealtimeBetaLLMService`'s audio
+  truncation. Audio truncation errors during interruptions now log a warning
+  and allow the session to continue instead of throwing an exception.
+
+- Modified `TranscriptProcessor` to use TTS text frames for more accurate assistant
+  transcripts. Assistant messages are now aggregated based on bot speaking boundaries
+  rather than LLM context, providing better handling of interruptions and partial
+  utterances.
+
+- Updated foundational examples `28a-transcription-processor-openai.py`,
+  `28b-transcript-processor-anthropic.py`, and
+  `28c-transcription-processor-gemini.py` to use the updated
+  `TranscriptProcessor`.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed an `GeminiMultimodalLiveLLMService` issue that was preventing the user
+  to push initial LLM assistant messages (using `LLMMessagesAppendFrame`).
+
+- Added missing `FrameProcessor.cleanup()` calls to `Pipeline`,
+  `ParallelPipeline` and `UserIdleProcessor`.
+
 - Fixed a type error when using `voice_settings` in `ElevenLabsHttpTTSService`.
 
+- Fixed an issue where `OpenAIRealtimeBetaLLMService` function calling resulted
+  in an error.
+
+- Fixed an issue in `AudioBufferProcessor` where the last audio buffer was not
+  being processed, in cases where the `_user_audio_buffer` was smaller than the
+  buffer size.
+
+### Performance
+
+- Replaced audio resampling library `resampy` with `soxr`. Resampling a 2:21s
+  audio file from 24KHz to 16KHz took 1.41s with `resampy` and 0.031s with
+  `soxr` with similar audio quality.
+
+### Other
+
+- Added initial unit test infrastructure.

+A simple Pipecat example demonstrating how to handle signaling between the client and the bot, 
+ensuring that the bot starts sending audio only when the client is available, 
+thereby avoiding the risk of cutting off the beginning of the audio.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### First, start the bot server:
+
+1. Navigate to the server directory:
+   ```bash
+   cd server
+   ```
+2. Create and activate a virtual environment:
+   ```bash
+   python3 -m venv venv
+   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
+   ```
+3. Install requirements:
+   ```bash
+   pip install -r requirements.txt
+   ```
+4. Copy env.example to .env and configure:
+   - Add your API keys
+5. Start the server:
+   ```bash
+   python server.py
+   ```
+
+### Next, connect using the client app:
+
+For client-side setup, refer to the [JavaScript Guide](client/javascript/README.md).
+
+## Important Note
+
+Ensure the bot server is running before using any client implementations.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Python 3.10+
+- Node.js 16+ (for JavaScript)
+- Daily API key
+- Cartesia API key
+- Modern web browser with WebRTC support

+# JavaScript Implementation
+
+Basic implementation using the [Pipecat JavaScript SDK](https://docs.pipecat.ai/client/js/introduction).
+
+## Setup
+
+1. Run the bot server. See the [server README](../../README).
+
+2. Navigate to the `client/javascript` directory:
+
+```bash
+cd client/javascript
+```
+
+3. Install dependencies:
+
+```bash
+npm install
+```
+
+4. Run the client app:
+
+```
+npm run dev
+```
+
+5. Visit http://localhost:5173 in your browser.

+# Bot ready signaling Server
+
+A FastAPI server that manages bot instances and provide endpoint for Pipecat client connections.
+
+## Endpoints
+
+- `POST /connect` - Pipecat client connection endpoint
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+Copy `env.example` to `.env` and configure:
+
+```ini
+# Required API Keys
+DAILY_API_KEY=           # Your Daily API key
+CARTESIA_API_KEY=        # Your Cartesia API key
+
+# Optional Configuration
+DAILY_API_URL=           # Optional: Daily API URL (defaults to https://api.daily.co/v1)
+DAILY_SAMPLE_ROOM_URL=   # Optional: Fixed room URL for development
+HOST=                    # Optional: Host address (defaults to 0.0.0.0)
+FAST_API_PORT=           # Optional: Port number (defaults to 7860)
+```
+
+## Running the Server
+
+Set up and activate your virtual environment:
+
+```bash
+python3 -m venv venv
+source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
+```
+
+Install dependencies:
+
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+If you want to use the local version of `pipecat` in this repo rather than the last published version, also run:
+
+```bash
+pip install --editable "../../../[daily,cartesia,openai]"
+```
+
+Run the server:
+
+```bash
+python server.py

-# Dialin example
-
-Example project that demonstrates how to add phone number dialin to your Pipecat bots. We include examples for both Daily (`bot_daily.py`) and Twilio (`bot_twilio.py`), depending on who you want to use as a phone vendor.
-
-- 🔁 Transport: Daily WebRTC
-- 💬 Speech-to-Text: Deepgram via Daily transport
-- 🤖 LLM: GPT4-o / OpenAI
-- 🔉 Text-to-Speech: ElevenLabs
-
-#### Should I use Daily or Twilio as a vendor?
-
-If you're starting from scratch, using Daily to provision phone numbers alongside Daily as a transport offers some convenience (such as automatic call forwarding.)
-
-If you already have Twilio numbers and workflows that you want to connect to your Pipecat bots, there is some additional configuration required (you'll need to create a `on_dialin_ready` and use the Twilio client to trigger the forward.)
-
-You can read more about this, as well as see respective walkthroughs in our docs.
-
-## Setup
-
-```shell
-# Install the requirements
-pip install -r requirements.txt
-
-# Setup your env
-mv env.example .env
-```
-
-## Using Daily numbers
-
-Run `bot_runner.py` to handle incoming HTTP requests:
-
-`python bot_runner.py --host localhost`
-
-Then target the following URL:
-
-`POST /daily_start_bot`
-
-For more configuration options, please consult Daily's API documentation.
-
-
-## Using Twilio numbers
-
-As above, but target the following URL:
-
-`POST /twilio_start_bot`
-
-For more configuration options, please consult Twilio's API documentation.
-
-## Deployment example
-
-A Dockerfile is included in this demo for convenience. Here is an example of how to build and deploy your bot to [fly.io](https://fly.io).
-
-*Please note: This demo spawns agents as subprocesses for convenience / demonstration purposes. You would likely not want to do this in production as it would limit concurrency to available system resources. For more information on how to deploy your bots using VMs, refer to the Pipecat documentation.*
-
-### Build the docker image
-
-`docker build -t tag:project .`
-
-### Launch the fly project
-
-`mv fly.example.toml fly.toml`
-
-`fly launch` (using the included fly.toml)
-
-### Setup your secrets on Fly
-
-Set the necessary secrets (found in `env.example`)
-
-`fly secrets set DAILY_API_KEY=... OPENAI_API_KEY=... ELEVENLABS_API_KEY=... ELEVENLABS_VOICE_ID=...`
-
-If you're using Twilio as a number vendor:
-
-`fly secrets set TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID=... TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN=...`
-
-### Deploy!
-
-`fly deploy`
-
-## Need to do something more advanced?
-
-This demo covers the basics of bot telephony. If you want to know more about working with PSTN / SIP, please ping us on [Discord](https://discord.gg/pipecat).
