CHANGELOG.md

@@ -5,6 +5,340 @@ 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/),

+## [Unreleased]
+
+## Added
+
+- Added `pipecat.extensions.ivr` for automated IVR system navigation with
+  configurable goals and conversation handling. Supports DTMF input, verbal
+  responses, and intelligent menu traversal.
+
+  Basic usage:
+
+  ```python
+  from pipecat.extensions.ivr.ivr_navigator import IVRNavigator
+
+  # Create IVR navigator with your goal
+  ivr_navigator = IVRNavigator(
+      llm=llm_service,
+      ivr_prompt="Navigate to billing department to dispute a charge"
+  )
+
+  # Handle different outcomes
+  @ivr_navigator.event_handler("on_conversation_detected")
+  async def on_conversation(processor, conversation_history):
+      # Switch to normal conversation mode
+      pass
+
+  @ivr_navigator.event_handler("on_ivr_status_changed")
+  async def on_ivr_status(processor, status):
+      if status == IVRStatus.COMPLETED:
+          # End pipeline, transfer call, or start bot conversation
+      elif status == IVRStatus.STUCK:
+          # Handle navigation failure
+  ```
+
+- `BaseOutputTransport` now implements `write_dtmf()` by loading DTMF audio and
+  sending it through the transport. This makes sending DTMF generic across all
+  output transports.
+
+- Added new config parameters to `GladiaSTTService`. 
+  - PreProcessingConfig > `audio_enhancer` to enhance audio quality.
+  - CustomVocabularyItem > `pronunciations` and `language` to specify special pronunciations and in which language it will be pronounced.
+
+## Changed
+
+- `pipecat.frames.frames.KeypadEntry` is deprecated and has been moved to
+  `pipecat.audio.dtmf.types.KeypadEntry`.
+
+## Removed
+
+- Remove `StopInterruptionFrame`. This was a legacy frame that was not being
+  used really anywhere and it didn't provide any useful meaning. It was only
+  pushed after `UserStoppedSpeakingFrame`, so developers can just use
+  `UserStoppedSpeakingFrame`.
+
+- `DailyTransport.write_dtmf()` has been removed in favor of the generic
+  `BaseOutputTransport.write_dtmf()`.
+
+- Remove deprecated `DailyTransport.send_dtmf()`.
+
+## Deprecated
+
+- `pipecat.frames.frames.KeypadEntry` is deprecated use
+  `pipecat.audio.dtmf.types.KeypadEntry` instead.
+
+## Fixed
+
+- Fixed an issue where `PipelineTask` was not cleaning up the observers.
+
+## [0.0.82] - 2025-08-28
+
+### Added
+
+- Added a new `LLMRunFrame` to trigger an LLM response:
+
+  ```python
+  await task.queue_frames([LLMRunFrame()])
+  ```
+
+  This replaces `OpenAILLMContextFrame`, which you’d previously typically use
+  like this:
+
+  ```python
+  await task.queue_frames([context_aggregator.user().get_context_frame()])
+  ```
+
+  Use this way of kicking off your conversation when you’ve already initialized
+  your context and are simply instructing the bot when to go:
+
+  ```python
+  context = OpenAILLMContext(messages, tools)
+  context_aggregator = llm.create_context_aggregator(context)
+
+  # ...
+
+  @transport.event_handler("on_client_connected")
+  async def on_client_connected(transport, client):
+      # Kick off the conversation.
+      await task.queue_frames([LLMRunFrame()])
+  ```
+
+  Note that if you want to add new messages when kicking off the conversation,
+  you could use `LLMMessagesAppendFrame` with `run_llm=True` instead:
+
+  ```python
+  @transport.event_handler("on_client_connected")
+  async def on_client_connected(transport, client):
+      # Kick off the conversation.
+      await task.queue_frames([LLMMessagesAppendFrame(new_messages, run_llm=True)])
+  ```
+
+  In the rare case you don’t have a context aggregator in your pipeline, then
+  you may continue using a context frame.
+
+- Added support for switching between audio+text to text-only modes within the
+  same pipeline. This is done by pushing
+  `LLMConfigureOutputFrame(skip_tts=True)` to enter text-only mode, and
+  disabling it to return to audio+text. The LLM will still generate tokens and
+  add them to the context, but they will not be sent to TTS.
+
+- Added `skip_tts` field to `TextFrame`. This lets a text frame bypass TTS while
+  still being included in the LLM context. Useful for cases like structured text
+  that isn’t meant to be spoken but should still contribute to context.
+
+- Added a `cancel_timeout_secs` argument to `PipelineTask` which defines how
+  long the pipeline has to complete cancellation. When `PipelineTask.cancel()`
+  is called, a `CancelFrame` is pushed through the pipeline and must reach the
+  end. If it does not reach the end within the specified time, a warning is
+  shown and the wait is aborted.
+
+- Added a new "universal" (LLM-agnostic) `LLMContext` and accompanying
+  `LLMContextAggregatorPair`, which will eventually replace `OpenAILLMContext`
+  (and the other under-the-hood contexts) and the other context aggregators.
+  The new universal `LLMContext` machinery allows a single context to be shared
+  between different LLMs, enabling runtime LLM switching and scenarios like
+  failover.
+
+  From the developer's point of view, switching to using the new universal
+  context machinery will usually be a matter of going from this:
+
+  ```python
+  context = OpenAILLMContext(messages, tools)
+  context_aggregator = llm.create_context_aggregator(context)
+  ```
+
+  To this:
+
+  ```python
+  context = LLMContext(messages, tools)
+  context_aggregator = LLMContextAggregatorPair(context)
+  ```
+
+  To start, the universal `LLMContext` is supported with the following LLM
+  services:
+
+  - `OpenAILLMService`
+  - `GoogleLLMService`
+
+- Added a new `LLMSwitcher` class to enable runtime LLM switching, built atop a
+  new generic `ServiceSwitcher`.
+
+  Switchers take a switching strategy. The first available strategy is
+  `ServiceSwitcherStrategyManual`.
+
+  To switch LLMs at runtime, the LLMs must be sharing one instance of the new
+  universal `LLMContext` (see above bullet).
+
+  ```python
+  # Instantiate your LLM services
+  llm_openai = OpenAILLMService(api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
+  llm_google = GoogleLLMService(api_key=os.getenv("GOOGLE_API_KEY"))
+
+  # Instantiate a switcher
+  # (ServiceSwitcherStrategyManual defaults to OpenAI, as it's first in the list)
+  llm_switcher = LLMSwitcher(
+      llms=[llm_openai, llm_google], strategy_type=ServiceSwitcherStrategyManual
+  )
+
+  # Create your pipeline
+  pipeline = Pipeline(
+    [
+        transport.input(),
+        stt,
+        context_aggregator.user(),
+        llm_switcher,
+        tts,
+        transport.output(),
+        context_aggregator.assistant(),
+    ]
+  )
+  task = PipelineTask(pipeline, params=PipelineParams(allow_interruptions=True))
+
+  # ...
+  # Whenever is appropriate, switch LLMs!
+  await task.queue_frames([ManuallySwitchServiceFrame(service=llm_google)])
+  ```
+
+- Added an `LLMService.run_inference()` method to LLM services to enable
+  direct, out-of-band (i.e. out-of-pipeline) inference.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Updated `daily-python` to 0.19.8.
+
+- `PipelineTask` now waits for `StartFrame` to reach the end of the pipeline
+  before pushing any other frames.
+
+- Updated `CartesiaTTSService` and `CartesiaHttpTTSService` to align with
+  Cartesia's changes for the `speed` parameter. It now takes only an enum of
+  `slow`, `normal`, or `fast`.
+
+- Added support to `AWSBedrockLLMService` for setting authentication
+  credentials through environment variables.
+
+- Updated `SarvamTTSService` to use WebSocket streaming for real-time audio
+  generation with multiple Indian languages, with HTTP support still available
+  via `SarvamHttpTTSService`.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed an RTVI issue that was causing frames to be pushed before pipeline was
+  properly initialized.
+
+- Fixed some `get_messages_for_logging()` that were returning a JSON string
+  instead of a list.
+
+- Fixed a `DailyTransport` issue that prevented DTMF tones from being sent.
+
+- Fixed a missing import in `SentryMetrics`.
+
+- Fixed `AWSPollyTTSService` to support AWS credential provider chain (IAM
+  roles, IRSA, instance profiles) instead of requiring explicit environment
+  variables.
+
+- Fixed a `CartesiaTTSService` issue that was causing the application to hang
+  after Cartesia's 5 minutes timed out.
+
+- Fixed an issue preventing `SpeechmaticsSTTService` from transcribing audio.
+
+## [0.0.81] - 2025-08-25
+
+### Added
+
+- Added `pipecat.extensions.voicemail`, a module for detecting voicemail vs.
+  live conversation, primarily intended for use in outbound calling scenarios.
+  The voicemail module is optimized for text LLMs only.
+
+- Added new frames to the `idle_timeout_frames` arg: `TranscriptionFrame`,
+  `InterimTranscriptionFrame`, `UserStartedSpeakingFrame`, and
+  `UserStoppedSpeakingFrame`. These additions serve as indicators of user
+  activity in the pipeline idle detection logic.
+
+- Allow passing custom pipeline sink and source processors to a
+  `Pipeline`. Pipeline source and sink processors are used to know and control
+  what's coming in and out of a `Pipeline` processor.
+
+- Added `FrameProcessor.pause_processing_system_frames()` and
+  `FrameProcessor.resume_processing_system_frames()`. These allow to pause and
+  resume the processing of system frame.
+
+- Added new `on_process_frame()` observer method which makes it possible to know
+  when a frame is being processed.
+
+- Added new `FrameProcessor.entry_processor()` method. This allows you to access
+  the first non-compound processor in a pipeline.
+
+- Added `FrameProcessor` properties `processors`, `next` and `previous`.
+
+- `ElevenLabsTTSService` now supports additional runtime changes to the `model`,
+  `language`, and `voice_settings` parameters.
+
+- Added `apply_text_normalization` support to `ElevenLabsTTSService` and
+  `ElevenLabsHttpTTSService`.
+
+- Added `MistralLLMService`, using Mistral's chat completion API.
+
+- Added the ability to retry executing a chat completion after a timeout period
+  for `OpenAILLMService` and its subclasses, `AnthropicLLMService`, and
+  `AWSBedrockLLMService`. The LLM services accept new args:
+  `retry_timeout_secs` and `retry_on_timeout`. This feature is disabled by
+  default.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Updated `daily-python` to 0.19.7.
+
+### Deprecated
+
+- `FrameProcessor.wait_for_task()` is deprecated. Use `await task` or
+  `await asyncio.wait_for(task, timeout)` instead.
+
+### Removed
+
+- Watchdog timers have been removed. They were introduced in 0.0.72 to help
+  diagnose pipeline freezes. Unfortunately, they proved ineffective since they
+  required developers to use Pipecat-specific queues, iterators, and events to
+  correctly reset the timer, which limited their usefulness and added friction.
+
+- Removed unused `FrameProcessor.set_parent()` and
+  `FrameProcessor.get_parent()`.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed an issue that would cause `PipelineRunner` and `PipelineTask` to not
+  handle external asyncio task cancellation properly.
+
+- Added `SpeechmaticsSTTService` exception handling on connection and sending.
+
+- Replaced `asyncio.wait_for()` for `wait_for2.wait_for()` for Python <
+  3.12. because of issues regarding task cancellation (i.e. cancellation is
+  never propagated).
+  See https://bugs.python.org/issue42130
+
+- Fixed an `AudioBufferProcessor` issues that would cause audio overlap when
+  setting a max buffer size.
+
+- Fixed an issue where `AsyncAITTSService` had very high latency in responding
+  by adding `force=true` when sending the flush command.
+
+### Performance
+
+- Improve `PipelineTask` performance by using direct mode processors and by
+  removing unnecessary tasks.
+
+- Improve `ParallelPipeline` performance by using direct mode, by not
+  creating a task for each frame and every sub-pipeline and also by removing
+  other unnecessary tasks.
+
+- `Pipeline` performance improvements by using direct mode.
+
+### Other
+
+- Added `14w-function-calling-mistal.py` using `MistralLLMService`.
+
+- Added `13j-azure-transcription.py` using `AzureSTTService`.
+

-## Frames
-
-Frames can represent discrete chunks of data, for instance a chunk of text, a chunk of audio, or an image. They can also be used to as control flow, for instance a frame that indicates that there is no more data available, or that a user started or stopped talking. They can also represent more complex data structures, such as a message array used for an LLM completion.
-
-## FrameProcessors
-
-Frame processors operate on frames. Every frame processor implements a `process_frame` method that consumes one frame and produces zero or more frames. Frame processors can do simple transforms, such as concatenating text fragments into sentences, or they can treat frames as input for an AI Service, and emit chat completions based on message arrays or transform text into audio or images.
-
-## Pipelines
-
-Pipelines are lists of frame processors linked together. Frame processors can push frames upstream or downstream to their peers. A very simple pipeline might chain an LLM frame processor to a text-to-speech frame processor, with a transport as an output.
-
-## Transports
-
-Transports provide input and output frame processors to receive or send frames respectively. For example, the `DailyTransport` does this with a WebRTC session joined to a Daily.co room.

-# A Frame's Progress
-
-1. A user says “Hello, LLM” and the cloud transcription service delivers a transcription to the Transport.
-![A transcript frame arrives](images/frame-progress-01.png)
-
-2. The Transport places a Transcription frame in the Pipeline’s source queue.
-![Frame in source queue](images/frame-progress-02.png)
-
-3. The Pipeline passes the Transcription frame to the first Frame Processor in its list, the LLM User Message Aggregator.
-![To UMA](images/frame-progress-03.png)
-
-4. The LLM User Message Aggregator updates the LLM Context with a `{“user”: “Hello LLM”}` message.
-![Update context](images/frame-progress-04.png)
-
-5. The LLM User Message Aggregator yields an LLM Message Frame, containing the updated LLM Context. The Pipeline passes this frame to the LLM Frame Processor.
-![Update context](images/frame-progress-05.png)
-
-6. The LLM Frame Processor creates a streaming chat completion based on the LLM context and yields the first chunk of a response, Text Frame with the value “Hi, “. The Pipeline passes this frame to the TTS Frame Processor. The TTS Frame Processor aggregates this response but doesn’t yield anything, yet, because it’s waiting for a full sentence.
-![LLM yields Text](images/frame-progress-06.png)
-
-7. The LLM Frame Processor yields another Text Frame with the value “there.”. The Pipeline passes this frame to the TTS Frame Processor.
-![LLM yields more Text](images/frame-progress-07.png)
-
-8. The TTS Frame Processor now has a full sentence, so it starts streaming audio based on “Hi, there.” It yields the first chunk of streaming audio as an Audio frame, which the Pipeline passes to the LLM Assistant Message Aggregator.
-![TTS yields Audio](images/frame-progress-08.png)
-
-9. The LLM Assistant Message Aggregator doesn’t do anything with Audio frames, so it immediately yields the frame, unchanged. This is the convention for all Frame Processors: frames that the processor doesn’t process should be immediately yielded.
-![pass-through](images/frame-progress-09.png)
-
-10. The Pipeline places the first Audio frame in its sink queue, which is being watched by the Transport. Since the frame is now in a queue, the Pipeline can continue processing other frames. Note that the source and sink queues form a sort of “boundary of concurrent processing” between a Pipeline and the outside world. In a Pipeline, Frames are processed sequentially; once a Frame is on a queue it can be processed in parallel with the frames being processed by the Pipeline. TODO: link to a more in-depth section about this.
-![sink queue](images/frame-progress-10.png)
-
-11. The TTS Frame Processor yields another Audio frame as the Transport transmits the first Audio frame.
-![parallel audio](images/frame-progress-11.png)
-
-12. As before, the LLM Assistant Message Aggregator immediately yields the Audio frame and the Pipeline places the Audio frame in the sink queue.
-![sink queue 2](images/frame-progress-12.png)
-
-13. The TTS Frame Processor has no more frames to yield. The LLM Frame Processor emits an LLM Response End Frame, which the Pipeline passes to the TTS Frame Processor.
-![response end](images/frame-progress-13.png)
-
-14. The TTS Frame Processor immediately yields the LLM Response End Frame, so the Pipeline passes it along to the LLM Assistant Message Aggregator. The LLM Assistant Message Aggregator updates the LLM Context with the full response from the LLM. TODO TODO: I realized I forgot that the TSS Frame Processor also yields the Text frames that the LLM emitted so that the LLM Assistant Message Aggregator could accumulate them, arrggh.
-![response end](images/frame-progress-14.png)
-
-15. The system is quiet, and waiting for the next message from the Transport.

-# Understanding Different Frame Types in the Pipecat System
-
-In the Pipecat system, frames are used to represent different types of data and control signals that flow through the pipeline. Understanding these frame types is crucial for working with the system effectively. This tutorial will cover the main categories of frames and their specific uses.
-
-## 1. Base Frame Classes
-
-### Frame
-The `Frame` class is the base class for all frames. It includes:
-- `id`: A unique identifier
-- `name`: A descriptive name
-- `pts`: Presentation timestamp (optional)
-
-### DataFrame
-`DataFrame` is a subclass of `Frame` and serves as a base for most data-carrying frames.
-
-## 2. Audio Frames
-
-### AudioRawFrame
-Represents a chunk of audio with properties:
-- `audio`: Raw audio data
-- `sample_rate`: Audio sample rate
-- `num_channels`: Number of audio channels
-
-Subclasses include:
-- `InputAudioRawFrame`: For audio from input sources
-- `OutputAudioRawFrame`: For audio to be played by output devices
-- `TTSAudioRawFrame`: For audio generated by Text-to-Speech services
-
-## 3. Image Frames
-
-### ImageRawFrame
-Represents an image with properties:
-- `image`: Raw image data
-- `size`: Image dimensions
-- `format`: Image format (e.g., JPEG, PNG)
-
-Subclasses include:
-- `InputImageRawFrame`: For images from input sources
-- `OutputImageRawFrame`: For images to be displayed
-- `UserImageRawFrame`: For images associated with a specific user
-- `VisionImageRawFrame`: For images with associated text for description
-- `URLImageRawFrame`: For images with an associated URL
-
-### SpriteFrame
-Represents an animated sprite, containing a list of `ImageRawFrame` objects.
-
-## 4. Text and Transcription Frames
-
-### TextFrame
-Represents a chunk of text, used for various purposes in the pipeline.
-
-### TranscriptionFrame
-A specialized `TextFrame` for speech transcriptions, including:
-- `user_id`: ID of the speaking user
-- `timestamp`: When the transcription was generated
-- `language`: Detected language of the speech
-
-### InterimTranscriptionFrame
-Similar to `TranscriptionFrame`, but for interim (not final) transcriptions.
-
-## 5. LLM (Language Model) Frames
-
-### LLMMessagesFrame
-Contains a list of messages for an LLM service to process.
-
-### LLMMessagesAppendFrame and LLMMessagesUpdateFrame
-Used to modify the current context of LLM messages.
-
-### LLMSetToolsFrame
-Specifies tools (functions) available for the LLM to use.
-
-### LLMEnablePromptCachingFrame
-Controls prompt caching in certain LLMs.
-
-## 6. System and Control Frames
-
-### SystemFrame
-Base class for system-level frames.
-
-Important system frames include:
-- `StartFrame`: Initiates a pipeline
-- `CancelFrame`: Stops a pipeline immediately
-- `ErrorFrame`: Notifies of errors (with `FatalErrorFrame` for unrecoverable errors)
-- `EndTaskFrame` and `CancelTaskFrame`: Control pipeline tasks
-- `StartInterruptionFrame` and `StopInterruptionFrame`: Indicate user speech for interruptions
-
-### ControlFrame
-Base class for control-flow frames.
-
-Notable control frames:
-- `EndFrame`: Signals the end of a pipeline
-- `LLMFullResponseStartFrame` and `LLMFullResponseEndFrame`: Bracket LLM responses
-- `UserStartedSpeakingFrame` and `UserStoppedSpeakingFrame`: Indicate user speech activity
-- `BotStartedSpeakingFrame` and `BotStoppedSpeakingFrame`: Indicate bot speech activity
-- `TTSStartedFrame` and `TTSStoppedFrame`: Bracket Text-to-Speech responses
-
-## 7. Special Purpose Frames
-
-### MetricsFrame
-Contains performance metrics data.
-
-### FunctionCallInProgressFrame and FunctionCallResultFrame
-Used for handling LLM function (tool) calls.
-
-### ServiceUpdateSettingsFrame
-Base class for updating service settings, with specific subclasses for LLM, TTS, and STT services.
-
-## Conclusion
-
-Understanding these frame types is essential for working with the Pipecat system. Each frame type serves a specific purpose in the pipeline, whether it's carrying data (like audio or images), controlling the flow of the pipeline, or managing system-level operations. By using the appropriate frame types, you can effectively process and transmit various kinds of information through your pipeline.
