-## Unreleased
+## [Unreleased]
 
 ### Added
 
+- Pipecat version will now be logged on every application startup. This will
+  help us identify what version we are running in case of any issues.
+
+- Added a new `StopFrame` which can be used to stop a pipeline task while
+  keeping the frame processors running. The frame processors could then be used
+  in a different pipeline. The difference between a `StopFrame` and a
+  `StopTaskFrame` is that, as with `EndFrame` and `EndTaskFrame`, the
+  `StopFrame` is pushed from the task and the `StopTaskFrame` is pushed upstream
+  inside the pipeline by any processor.
+
+- Added a new `PipelineTask` parameter `observers` that replaces the previous
+  `PipelineParams.observers`.
+
+- Added a new `PipelineTask` parameter `check_dangling_tasks` to enable or
+  disable checking for frame processors' dangling tasks when the Pipeline
+  finishes running.
+
+- Added new `on_completion_timeout` event for LLM services (all OpenAI-based
+  services, Anthropic and Google). Note that this event will only get triggered
+  if LLM timeouts are setup and if the timeout was reached. It can be useful to
+  retrigger another completion and see if the timeout was just a blip.
+
 - Added new log observers `LLMLogObserver` and `TranscriptionLogObserver` that
   can be useful for debugging your pipelines.

 ### Changed
 
+- ⚠️ `PipelineTask` now requires keyword arguments (except for the first one for
+  the pipeline).
+
+- The base `TTSService` class now strips leading newlines before sending text
+  to the TTS provider. This change is to solve issues where some TTS providers,
+  like Azure, would not output text due to newlines.
+
+- `GrokLLMSService` now uses `grok-2` as the default model.
+
 - `AnthropicLLMService` now uses `claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219` as the default
   model.

 stt = DeepgramSTTService(..., live_options=LiveOptions(model="nova-2-general"))
 ```
 
+### Deprecated
+
+- `PipelineParams.observers` is now deprecated, you the new `PipelineTask`
+  parameter `observers`.
+
 ### Removed
 
 - Remove `TransportParams.audio_out_is_live` since it was not being used at all.
 
 ### Fixed
 
+- Fixed an `AudioContextWordTTSService` issue that would cause an `EndFrame` to
+  disconnect from the TTS service before audio from all the contexts was
+  received. This affected services like Cartesia and Rime.
+
+- Fixed an issue that was not allowing to pass an `OpenAILLMContext` to create
+  `GoogleLLMService`'s context aggregators.
+
 - Fixed a `ElevenLabsTTSService`, `FishAudioTTSService`, `LMNTTTSService` and
   `PlayHTTTSService` issue that was resulting in audio requested before an
   interruption being played after an interruption.

-### New! Using Gemini with Daily
+### New! Using Gemini 2.0 Flash Lite with Daily
 
-We have introduced a new example file that uses Gemini. You can find the code within bot_daily_gemini.py.
-If you want to spin up a Gemini-based bot for this demo, instead of an OpenAI-based bot, call the same properties above but on the `daily_gemini_start_bot` endpoint instead.
+We have introduced support for Google's Gemini 2.0 Flash Lite model in this example. This lightweight model offers faster response times and reduced costs while maintaining good conversational capabilities.
 
-For example:
+**Quick Start**
+To use the Gemini-based bot instead of OpenAI:
 
 ```shell
 curl -X POST "http://localhost:7860/daily_gemini_start_bot" \                                                                                                        py pipecat
@@ -119,7 +119,27 @@ curl -X POST "http://localhost:7860/daily_gemini_start_bot" \
      -d '{"detectVoicemail": true}'
 ```
 
-Any request body properties supported by `/daily_start_bot` (such as "detectVoicemail", "dialoutnumber", etc) can also be passed to `/daily_gemini_start_bot`. The only difference is that calling the Gemini endpoint will start a Gemini bot session.
+All request body parameters supported by /daily_start_bot (such as detectVoicemail, dialoutNumber, etc.) are also compatible with /daily_gemini_start_bot.
+
+This example uses context switching to help steer the bot in the right direction. As Flash Lite is a smaller model, breaking the prompt down into smaller piece helps to improve the bot's accuracy.
+
+For example, instead of giving one large prompt like:
+
+```python
+system_instruction="""You are a chatbot that needs to detect if you're talking to a voicemail system or human, then either leave a message or have a conversation. If it's voicemail, say "Hello, this is a message..." and hang up. If it's a human, introduce yourself and be helpful until they say goodbye."""
+```
+
+We break it into stages:
+
+First prompt focuses only on detection: "Determine if this is voicemail or human"
+After detection, we switch to a new context: either "Leave this specific voicemail message" or "Have a conversation with the human".
+
+**Implementation Details**
+The implementation is available in bot_daily_gemini.py and features:
+
+- Staged prompting approach: Breaking down complex tasks into smaller, more focused prompts to improve the lightweight model's performance
+- Dynamic context switching: The bot can change its behavior in real-time based on what it detects (voicemail vs. human caller)
+- Function-based architecture: Uses function calling to trigger context switches and call termination

-**Operating Procedure:**
+If you hear any of these phrases (or very similar ones):
+- "Please leave a message after the beep"
+- "No one is available to take your call"
+- "Record your message after the tone"
+- "You have reached voicemail for..."
+- "You have reached [phone number]"
+- "[phone number] is unavailable"
+- "The person you are trying to reach..."
+- "The number you have dialed..."
+- "Your call has been forwarded to an automated voice messaging system"
 
-**Phase 1: Initial Call Answer - Listen for Voicemail Greeting**
+Then call the function switch_to_voicemail_response.
 
-**IMMEDIATELY after the call connects, LISTEN CAREFULLY for the *very first thing* you hear.**
+If it sounds like a human (saying hello, asking questions, etc.), call the function switch_to_human_conversation.
 
-**Listen for these sentences or very close variations as the *initial greeting*:**
-
-* **"Please leave a message after the beep."**
-* **"No one is available to take your call."**
-* **"Record your message after the tone."**
-* **"You have reached voicemail for..."** (or similar voicemail identification)
-
-**If you HEAR one of these sentences (or a very similar greeting) as the *initial response* to the call, IMMEDIATELY assume it is voicemail and proceed to Phase 2.**
-
-**If you hear "PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE AFTER THE BEEP", WAIT for the actual beep sound from the voicemail system *after* hearing the sentence, before proceeding to Phase 2.**
-
-**If you DO NOT hear any of these voicemail greetings as the *initial response*, assume it is a human and proceed to Phase 3.**
-
-
-**Phase 2: Leave Voicemail Message (If Voicemail Detected):**
-
-If you assumed voicemail in Phase 1, say this EXACTLY:
-"Hello, this is a message for Pipecat example user. This is Chatbot. Please call back on 123-456-7891. Thank you."
-
-**Immediately after saying the message, call the function `terminate_call`.**
-**DO NOT SAY ANYTHING ELSE. SILENCE IS REQUIRED AFTER `terminate_call`.**
-
-
-**Phase 3: Human Interaction (If No Voicemail Greeting Detected in Phase 1):**
-
-If you did not detect a voicemail greeting in Phase 1 and a human answers, say:
-"Oh, hello! I'm a friendly chatbot. Is there anything I can help you with?"
-
-Keep your responses **short and helpful.**
-
-If the human is finished, say:
-"Okay, thank you! Have a great day!"
-
-**Then, immediately call the function `terminate_call`.**
-
-
-**VERY IMPORTANT RULES - DO NOT DO THESE THINGS:**
-
-* **DO NOT SAY "Please leave a message after the beep."**
-* **DO NOT SAY "No one is available to take your call."**
-* **DO NOT SAY "Record your message after the tone."**
-* **DO NOT SAY ANY voicemail greeting yourself.**
-* **Only check for voicemail greetings in Phase 1, *immediately after the call connects*.**
-* **After voicemail or human interaction, ALWAYS call `terminate_call` immediately.**
-* **Do not speak after calling `terminate_call`.**
-* Your speech will be audio, so use simple language without special characters.
