Version 1.11 alexa-client-sdk

Changes in this update:

**Enhancements**

* Added support for the new Alexa [DoNotDisturb](https://developer.amazon.com/docs/alexa-voice-service/donotdisturb.html) interface, which enables users to toggle the do not disturb (DND) function on their Alexa built-in products.
* The SDK now supports [Opus](https://opus-codec.org/license/) encoding, which is optional. To enable Opus, you must [set the CMake flag to `-DOPUS=ON`](https://github.com/alexa/avs-device-sdk/wiki/Build-Options#Opus-encoding), and include the [libopus library](https://github.com/alexa/avs-device-sdk/wiki/Dependencies#core-dependencies) dependency in your build.
* The MediaPlayer reference implementation has been expanded to support the SAMPLE-AES and AES-128 encryption methods for HLS streaming.
  * AES-128 encryption is dependent on libcrypto, which is part of the required openSSL library, and is enabled by default.
  * To enable [SAMPLE-AES](https://github.com/alexa/avs-device-sdk/wiki/Dependencies#core-dependencies/Enable-SAMPLE-AES-decryption) encryption, you must set the `-DSAMPLE_AES=ON` in your CMake command, and include the [FFMPEG](https://github.com/alexa/avs-device-sdk/wiki/Dependencies#core-dependencies/Enable-SAMPLE-AES-decryption) library dependency in your build.
* A new configuration for [deviceSettings](https://github.com/alexa/avs-device-sdk/blob/v1.11.0/Integration/AlexaClientSDKConfig.json#L59) has been added.This configuration allows you to specify the location of the device settings database.
* Added locale support for es-MX.

**Bug Fixes**

* Fixed an issue where music wouldn't resume playback in the Android app.
* Now all equalizer capabilities are fully disabled when equalizer is turned off in configuration file. Previously, devices were unconditionally required to provide support for equalizer in order to run the SDK.
* [Issue 1106](alexa#1106) - Fixed an issue in which the `CBLAuthDelegate` wasn't using the correct timeout during request refresh.
* [Issue 1128](alexa#1128) - Fixed an issue in which the `AudioPlayer` instance persisted at shutdown, due to a shared dependency with the `ProgressTimer`.
* Fixed in issue that occurred when a connection to streaming content was interrupted, the SDK did not attempt to resume the connection, and appeared to assume that the content had been fully downloaded. This triggered the next track to be played, assuming it was a playlist.
* [Issue 1040](alexa#1040) - Fixed an issue where alarms would continue to play after user barge-in.

**Known Issues**

* `PlaylistParser` and `IterativePlaylistParser` generate two HTTP requests (one to fetch the content type, and one to fetch the audio data) for each audio stream played.
* Music playback history isn't being displayed in the Alexa app for certain account and device types.
* On GCC 8+, issues related to `-Wclass-memaccess` will trigger warnings. However, this won't cause the build to fail, and these warnings can be ignored.
* In order to use Bluetooth source and sink PulseAudio, you must manually load and unload PulseAudio modules after the SDK starts.
* The `ACL` may encounter issues if audio attachments are received but not consumed.
* `SpeechSynthesizerState` currently uses `GAINING_FOCUS` and `LOSING_FOCUS` as a workaround for handling intermediate state. These states may be removed in a future release.
* The Alexa app doesn't always indicate when a device is successfully connected via Bluetooth.
* Connecting a product to streaming media via Bluetooth will sometimes stop media playback within the source application. Resuming playback through the source application or toggling next/previous will correct playback.
* When a source device is streaming silence via Bluetooth, the Alexa app indicates that audio content is streaming.
* The Bluetooth agent assumes that the Bluetooth adapter is always connected to a power source. Disconnecting from a power source during operation is not yet supported.
* On some products, interrupted Bluetooth playback may not resume if other content is locally streamed.
* `make integration` is currently not available for Android. In order to run integration tests on Android, you'll need to manually upload the test binary file along with any input file. At that point, the adb can be used to run the integration tests.
* On Raspberry Pi running Android Things with HDMI output audio, beginning of speech is truncated when Alexa responds to user TTS.
* When the sample app is restarted and network connection is lost, alerts don't play.
* When network connection is lost, lost connection status is not returned via local Text-to Speech (TTS).

Adding a new limitation entry.

Version 1.8.1 alexa-client-sdk

Changes in this update:

**Enhancements**

* Added support for adjustment of alert volume.
* Added support for deletion of multiple alerts.
* The following `SpeakerInterface::Type` enumeration values have changed:
  * `AVS_SYNCED` is now `AVS_SPEAKER_VOLUME`.
  * `LOCAL` is now `AVS_ALERTS_VOLUME`.

**Known Issues**
* The `ACL` may encounter issues if audio attachments are received but not consumed.
* `SpeechSynthesizerState` currently uses `GAINING_FOCUS` and `LOSING_FOCUS` as a workaround for handling intermediate state. These states may be removed in a future release.
* The Alexa app doesn't always indicate when a device is successfully connected via Bluetooth.
* Connecting a product to streaming media via Bluetooth will sometimes stop media playback within the source application. Resuming playback through the source application or toggling next/previous will correct playback.
* When a source device is streaming silence via Bluetooth, the Alexa companion app indicates that audio content is streaming.
* The Bluetooth agent assumes that the Bluetooth adapter is always connected to a power source. Disconnecting from a power source during operation is not yet supported.
* On some products, interrupted Bluetooth playback may not resume if other content is locally streamed.
* On Raspberry Pi, when streaming audio via Bluetooth, sometimes the
audio stream stutters.

Version 1.7.1 alexa-client-sdk

Changes in this update:

Enhancements
* Added the Bluetooth interface, which manages the Bluetooth connection between Alexa-enabled products and peer devices. This release supports A2DP-SINK and AVRCP profiles. Note: Bluetooth is optional and is currently limited to Raspberry Pi and Linux platforms.
* Added new Bluetooth dependencies for Linux and Raspberry Pi.
* Device Capability Framework (DCF) renamed to Capabilities.
* Updated the non-CBL client ID error message to be more specific.
* Updated the sample app to enter a limited interaction mode after an unrecoverable error.

Bug Fixes
* Issue 597 - Fixed a bug where the sample app did not respond to locale change settings.

* Fixed issue where GStreamer 1.14 MediaPlayerTest failed on Windows.
* Fixed an issue where a segmentation fault was triggered after unrecoverable error handling.

* On some products, interrupted Bluetooth playback may not resume if other content is locally streamed.
* When streaming content via Bluetooth, under certain conditions playback will fail to resume and the sample app hangs on exit. This is due to a conflict between the GStreamer pipeline and the Bluetooth agent.
* On Raspberry Pi, when streaming audio via Bluetooth, sometimes the audio stream stutters.
* On Raspberry Pi, BlueALSA must be terminated each time the device boots. See Raspberry Pi Quick Start Guide for more information.

Verison 1.6 of the avs-device-sdk

Changes in this update:

**Enhancements**
* `rapidJson` is now included with "make install".
* Updated the `TemplateRuntimeObserverInterface` to support clearing of `displayCards`.
* Added Windows SDK support, along with an installation script (MinGW-w64).
* Updated `ContextManager` to ignore context reported by a state provider.
* The `SharedDataStream` object is now associated by playlist, rather than by URL.
* Added the `RegistrationManager` component. Now, when a user logs out all persistent user-specific data is cleared from the SDK. The log out functionality can be exercised in the sample app with the new command: `k`.

**Bug Fixes**

* [Issue 477](alexa#477) Fixed a bug in which Alexa's weather response was being truncated.
* Fixed an issue in which there were reports of instability related to the Sensory engine. To correct this, the `portAudio` [`suggestedLatency`](https://github.com/alexa/avs-device-sdk/blob/master/Integration/AlexaClientSDKConfig.json#L62) value can now be configured.

**Known Issues**
* The `ACL` may encounter issues if audio attachments are received but not consumed.

* Music playback doesn't immediately stop when a user barges-in on iHeartRadio.
* The Windows sample app sometimes hangs on exit.
* GDP receives a `SIGPIPE` when troubleshooting the Windows sample app.
