CHANGELOG.md

@@ -5,151 +5,17 @@ All notable changes to **Pipecat** will be documented in this file.
 The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/),
 and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
 
-## Unreleased
+## [Unreleased]
 
 ### Changed
 
-- Updated `pyproject.toml` to once again pin `numba` to `>=0.61.2` in order to
-  resolve package versioning issues.
-
-### Other
-
-- Updated `15-switch-voices.py` and `15a-switch-languages.py` examples to show
-  how to enclose complex logic (e.g. `ParallelPipeline`) into a single processor
-  so the main pipeline becomes simpler.
-
-## [0.0.79] - 2025-08-07
-
-### Changed
-
-- Changed `pipecat-ai`'s `openai` dependency to `>=1.74.0,<=1.99.1` due to a
-  breaking change in `openai` 1.99.2 ([commit](https://github.com/openai/openai-python/commit/657f551dbe583ffb259d987dafae12c6211fba06))
-
-### Deprecated
-
-- `TTSService.say()` is deprecated, push a `TTSSpeakFrame` instead. Calling
-  functions directly is a discouraged pattern in Pipecat because, for example,
-  it might cause issues with frame ordering.
-
-- `LLMMessagesFrame` is deprecated, in favor of either:
-
-  - `LLMMessagesUpdateFrame` with `run_llm=True`
-  - `OpenAILLMContextFrame` with desired messages in a new context
-
-- `LLMUserResponseAggregator` and `LLMAssistantResponseAggregator` are
-  deprecated, as they depended on the now-deprecated `LLMMessagesFrame`. Use
-  `LLMUserContextAggregator` and `LLMAssistantResponseAggregator` (or
-  LLM-specific subclasses thereof) instead.
-
-## [0.0.78] - 2025-08-07
-
-### Added
-
-- Added `enable_emulated_vad_interruptions` to `LLMUserAggregatorParams`.
-  When user speech is emulated (e.g. when a transcription is received but
-  VAD doesn't detect speech), this parameter controls whether the emulated
-  speech can interrupt the bot. Default is False (emulated speech is ignored
-  while the bot is speaking).
-
-- Added new `handle_sigint` and `handle_sigterm` to `RunnerArguments`. This
-  allows applications to know what settings they should use for the environment
-  they are running on. Also, added `pipeline_idle_timeout_secs` to be able to
-  control the `PipelineTask` idle timeout.
-
-- Added `processor` field to `ErrorFrame` to indicate `FrameProcessor` that
-  generated the error.
-
-- Added new language support for `AWSTranscribeSTTService`. All languages
-  supporting streaming data input are now supported:
-  https://docs.aws.amazon.com/transcribe/latest/dg/supported-languages.html
-
-- Added support for Simli Trinity Avatars. A new `is_trinity_avatar` parameter
-  has been introduced to specify whether the provided `faceId` corresponds to a
-  Trinity avatar, which is required for optimal Trinity avatar performance.
-
-- The development runner how handles custom `body` data for `DailyTransport`.
-  The `body` data is passed to the Pipecat client. You can POST to the `/start`
-  endpoint with a request body of:
-
-  ```
-  {
-      "createDailyRoom": true,
-      "dailyRoomProperties": { "start_video_off": true },
-      "body": { "custom_data": "value" }
-  }
-  ```
-
-  The `body` information is parsed and used in the application. The
-  `dailyRoomProperties` are currently not handled.
-
-- Added detailed latency logging to `UserBotLatencyLogObserver`, capturing
-  average response time between user stop and bot start, as well as minimum and
-  maximum response latency.
-
-- Added Chinese, Japanese, Korean word timestamp support to
-  `CartesiaTTSService`.
-
-- Added `region` parameter to `GladiaSTTService`. Accepted values: eu-west
-  (default), us-west.
-
-### Changed
-
-- System frames are now queued. Before, system frames could be generated from
-  any task and would not guarantee any order which was causing undesired
-  behavior. Also, it was possible to get into some rare recursion issues because
-  of the way system frames were executed (they were executed in-place, meaning
-  calling `push_frame()` would finish after the system frame traversed all the
-  pipeline). This makes system frames more deterministic.
-
-- Changed the default model for both `ElevenLabsTTSService` and
-  `ElevenLabsHttpTTSService` to `eleven_turbo_v2_5`. The rationale for this
-  change is that the Turbo v2.5 model exhibits the most stable voice quality
-  along with very low latency TTFB; latencies are on par with the Flash v2.5
-  model. Also, the Turbo v2.5 model outputs word/timestamp alignment data with
-  correct spacing.
-
-- The development runners `/connect` and `/start` endpoint now both return
-  `dailyRoom` and `dailyToken` in place of the previous `room_url` and `token`.
-
-- Updated the `pipecat.runner.daily` utility to only a take `DAILY_API_URL` and
-  `DAILY_SAMPLE_ROOM_URL` environment variables instead of argparsing `-u` and
-  `-k`, respectively.
-
 - Updated `daily-python` to 0.19.6.
 
 - Changed `TavusVideoService` to send audio or video frames only after the
   transport is ready, preventing warning messages at startup.
 
-- The development runner now strips any provided protocol (e.g. https://) from
-  the proxy address and issues a warning. It also strips trailing `/`.
-
-### Deprecated
-
-- In the `pipecat.runner.daily`, the `configure_with_args()` function is
-  deprecated. Use the `configure()` function instead.
-
-- The development runner's `/connect` endpoint is deprecated and will be
-  removed in a future version. Use the `/start` endpoint in its place. In the
-  meantime, both endpoints work and deliver equivalent functionality.
-
 ### Fixed
 
-- Fixed a `DailyTransport` issue that would result in an unhandled
-  `concurrent.futures.CancelledError` when a future is cancelled.
-
-- Fixed a `RivaSTTService` issue that would result in an unhandled
-  `concurrent.futures.CancelledError` when a future is cancelled when reading
-  from the audio chunks from the incoming audio stream.
-
-- Fixed an issue in the `BaseOutputTransport`, mainly reproducible with
-  `FastAPIWebsocketOutputTransport` when the audio mixer was enabled, where the
-  loop could consume 100% CPU by continuously returning without delay, preventing
-  other asyncio tasks (such as cancellation or shutdown signals) from being
-  processed.
-
-- Fixed an issue where `BotStartedSpeakingFrame` and `BotStoppedSpeakingFrame`
-  were not emitted when using `TavusVideoService` or `HeyGenVideoService`.
-
 - Fixed an issue in `LiveKitTransport` where empty `AudioRawFrame`s were pushed
   down the pipeline. This resulted in warnings by the STT processor.
 - Fixed `PiperTTSService` to send text as a JSON object in the request body,

-## 🛠️ Contributing to the framework
+## 🛠️ Hacking on the framework itself
 
-### Prerequisites
+1. Set up a virtual environment before following these instructions. From the root of the repo:
 
-**Python Version:** 3.10+
-
-### Setup Steps
-
-1. Clone the repository and navigate to it:
-
-   ```bash
-   git clone https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat.git
-   cd pipecat
+   ```shell
+   python3 -m venv venv
+   source venv/bin/activate
    ```
 
-2. Install development and testing dependencies:
+2. Install the development dependencies:
 
-   ```bash
-   uv sync --group dev --all-extras --no-extra gstreamer --no-extra krisp --no-extra local
+   ```shell
+   pip install -r dev-requirements.txt
    ```

+3. Install the git pre-commit hooks (these help ensure your code follows project rules):
 
-   ```bash
-   uv run pre-commit install
+   ```shell
+   pre-commit install
    ```
 
-### Python 3.13+ Compatibility
+4. Install the `pipecat-ai` package locally in editable mode:
 
-Some features require PyTorch, which doesn't yet support Python 3.13+. Install using:
+   ```shell
+   pip install -e .
+   ```
 
-```bash
-uv sync --group dev --all-extras \
-  --no-extra gstreamer \
-  --no-extra krisp \
-  --no-extra local \
-  --no-extra local-smart-turn \
-  --no-extra mlx-whisper \
-  --no-extra moondream \
-  --no-extra ultravox
-```
+   > The `-e` or `--editable` option allows you to modify the code without reinstalling.
 
-> **Tip:** For full compatibility, use Python 3.12: `uv python pin 3.12`
+5. Include optional dependencies as needed. For example:
 
-> **Note**: Some extras (local, gstreamer) require system dependencies. See documentation if you encounter build errors.
+   ```shell
+   pip install -e ".[daily,deepgram,cartesia,openai,silero]"
+   ```
+
+6. (Optional) If you want to use this package from another directory:
+
+   ```shell
+   pip install "path_to_this_repo[option,...]"
+   ```
 
 ### Running tests
 
-To run all tests, from the root directory:
+Install the test dependencies:
 
-```bash
-uv run pytest
+```shell
+pip install -r test-requirements.txt
 ```
 
-Run a specific test suite:
+From the root directory, run:

-uv run pytest tests/test_name.py
