 ### Added
 
+- 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
+
+- 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.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- 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
+
+- 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

 ### 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

+# Bot ready signaling
+
+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

+# 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`
-

+# News Chatbot
+
+A simple AI-powered chatbot that leverages Gemini's real-time search capabilities in a voice AI application.
+
+This example demonstrates Gemini's ability to query Google search in real time and return relevant responses, including links to the URLs that Gemini searched.
+
+All the details about grounding with Google Search can be found [here](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/grounding?lang=python).
+
+## 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 and React implementations)
+- Daily API key
+- Gemini API key (for Gemini bot)
+- Cartesia API key
+- Modern web browser with WebRTC support

+# Phone Chatbot
+
+Example project that demonstrates how to add phone funtionality to your Pipecat bots. We include examples for Daily (`bot_daily.py`) dial-in and dial-out, and Twilio (`bot_twilio.py`) dial-in, 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
+
+1. Create and activate a virtual environment:
+   ```shell
+   python3 -m venv venv
+   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
+   ```
+2. Install requirements:
+   ```shell
+   pip install -r requirements.txt
+   ```
+3. Copy env.example to .env and configure:
+   ```shell
+   cp env.example .env
+   ```
+4. Install [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/) so your local server can receive requests from Daily's servers.
+
+## Using Daily numbers
+
+### Running the example
+
+To run either the dial-in or dial-out example, follow these steps to get started:
+
+1. Run `bot_runner.py` to handle incoming HTTP requests:
+
+   ```shell
+   python bot_runner.py --host localhost
+   ```
+
+2. Start ngrok running in a terminal window:
+
+   ```shell
+   ngrok http --domain yourdomain.ngrok.app 8000
+   ```
+
+3. In a different terminal window, run the Daily bot file:
+   ```shell
+   python bot_daily.py
+   ```
+
+### Dial-in
+
+To dial-in to the bot, you will need to enable dial-in for your Daily domain. Follow [this guide](https://docs.daily.co/guides/products/dial-in-dial-out/dialin-pinless#provisioning-sip-interconnect-and-pinless-dialin-workflow) to set up your domain.
+
+Note: For the `room_creation_api` property, point at your ngrok hostname: `"room_creation_api": "https://yourdomain.ngrok.app/daily_start_bot"`.
+
+Once your domain is configured, receiving a phone call at a number associated with your Daily account will result in a POST to the `/daily_start_bot` endpoint, which will start a bot session.
+
+### Dial-out
+
+For the bot to dial out to a number, make a POST request to `/daily_start_bot` and include the dial-out phone number in the body of the request as `dialoutNumber`.
+
+For example:
+
+```shell
+curl -X "POST" "http://localhost:7860/daily_start_bot" \
+     -H 'Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8' \
+     -d $'{
+  "dialoutNumber": "+12125551234"
+}'
+```
+
+### Voicemail detection
+
+To start the bot and test voicemail detection, send a POST request to /daily_start_bot with "detectVoicemail": true in the request body.
+
+- If you only include `"detectVoicemail": true`, the bot will not dial out. Instead, you can test it in Daily Prebuilt by visiting the URL provided in the response.
+- If you include both `"detectVoicemail": true` and a phone number under `"dialoutNumber"`, the bot will dial out to that number.
+
+Example: Testing in Daily Prebuilt:
+
+```shell
+curl -X POST "http://localhost:7860/daily_start_bot" \                                                                                                        py pipecat
+     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+     -d '{"detectVoicemail": true}'
+```
+
+Example: Testing with Dial-Out:
+
+```shell
+curl -X POST "http://localhost:7860/daily_start_bot" \                                                                                                        py pipecat
+     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+     -d '{"dialoutNumber": "+18057145330", "detectVoicemail": true}'
+```
+
+### More information
+
+For more configuration options, please consult [Daily's API documentation](https://docs.daily.co).
+
+## Using Twilio numbers
+
+### Running the example
+
+Follow these steps to get started:
+
+1. Run `bot_runner.py` to handle incoming HTTP requests:
+
+   ```shell
+   python bot_runner.py --host localhost
+   ```
+
+2. Start ngrok running in a terminal window:
+
+   ```shell
+   ngrok http --domain yourdomain.ngrok.app 8000
+   ```
+
+3. In a different terminal window, run the Daily bot file:
+   ```shell
+   python bot_twilio.py
+   ```
+
+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)!

+
+            ### **Standard Operating Procedure:**
+
+            #### **Step 1: Detect if You Are Speaking to Voicemail**
+            - If you hear **any variation** of the following:
+            - **"Please leave a message after the beep."**
+            - **"No one is available to take your call."**
+            - **"Record your message after the tone."**
+            - **Any phrase that suggests an answering machine or voicemail.**
+            - **ASSUME IT IS A VOICEMAIL. DO NOT WAIT FOR MORE CONFIRMATION.**
+
+            #### **Step 2: Leave a Voicemail Message**
+            - Immediately say:  
+            *"Hello, this is a message for Pipecat example user. This is Chatbot. Please call back on 123-456-7891. Thank you."*
+            - **IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING THE MESSAGE, CALL `terminate_call`.**
+            - **DO NOT SPEAK AFTER CALLING `terminate_call`.**
+            - **FAILURE TO CALL `terminate_call` IMMEDIATELY IS A MISTAKE.**
+
+            #### **Step 3: If Speaking to a Human**
+            - If the call is answered by a human, say:  
+            *"Oh, hello! I'm a friendly chatbot. Is there anything I can help you with?"*
+            - Keep responses **brief and helpful**.
+            - If the user no longer needs assistance, **call `terminate_call` immediately.**
+
+            ---
+
+            ### **General Rules**
+            - **DO NOT continue speaking after leaving a voicemail.**
+            - **DO NOT wait after a voicemail message. ALWAYS call `terminate_call` immediately.**
+            - Your output will be converted to audio, so **do not include special characters or formatting.**
