2.10.0

  • Updated dependencies.

Please see the previous releases for the full list of changes in this development cycle.

2.10.0-alpha.6

  • Added support for resolving entities from the developer directory [#213].
  • Added sqlite-based caching of parameter datasets [#213].
  • Updated dependencies [#214].
  • Added new confidence level for dialogue handlers, intermediate between exact and normal [#215].

  • Fix monitoring of classes that use abstract interfaces, and classes that use async-iterable queries [#203].
  • Added support for translated manifests in developer directories [#203].
  • Removed translation support for builtins. Builtins should be translated ahead of time by the app code [#203].

2.10.0-alpha.3

  • Updated dependencies [#184, #191, #194, #198, #199, #200].

2.10.0-alpha.2

  • Updated BaseClient interfaces to support entity inheritance [#169].
  • Added new confidence levels for dialogue handlers that use template matching [#171].
  • Improved documentation [#168].
  • Updated dependencies [#166, #167, #181, #182, #183].

2.10.0-alpha.1

  • Added new interfaces and capabilities that devices and platforms can expose [#155, #162]:
    • custom notification backends
    • dialogue handlers to dispatch commands to non-ThingTalk backends
  • Added the ability to load secrets.json in development mode [#161].
  • Queries with no authentication are now proxied through Thingpedia if API keys are missing [#161].
  • Added support for OAuth 2.0 PKCE. When supported by the server, this avoids the need for client secrets [#161, #164].

Please see the previous releases for the full list of changes in this development cycle.

Contributors to this release:

  • Antonio Muratore

2.9.0-beta.1

  • Add client APIs to search devices in Thingpedia [#137].
  • Added MemoryPreferences class, to complement FilePreferences [#138].
  • Added platform APIs to get and set the user profile [#142].
  • Expanded type definitions for interfaces used by the API, including more capability interfaces [#139].
  • Restored and updated documentation [#140].
  • Updated dependencies [#141, #143, #144, #145, #146, #147, #148, #149, #150, #151, #152].

2.9.0-alpha.3

  • The caching logic for downloading skills was made simpler and more robust to repeated checks for updates, at a small cost in performance [#135].
  • Query functions are now allowed to be implemented as async iterable functions (async *get_foo) instead of async functions that return a regular iterable. This allows easily implementing lazy queries that return as many results as needed by ThingTalk code [#83].
  • Misc build system fixes [#127].

2.9.0-alpha.2

  • The minimum supported version of node is now 12.* [#126].
  • Misc type definition fixes [#125].
  • Update dependencies [#110, #111, #112, #113, #114, #119, #124].

2.9.0-alpha.1

  • This is the first version of the Thingpedia SDK to support ThingTalk 2.0 [#106].
  • The library was partially rewritten in TypeScript. All major public interfaces now are typed, and we expect the rewrite will continue over the course of the 2.9.0 development cycle [#100, #104].
  • The preferred package manager is now NPM instead of Yarn [#103].
  • Updated dependencies [#94, #96, #97, #98, #99, #101, #102, #105, #108, #109].

2.8.0

  • No changes since 2.8.0-beta.5.

Please see the development releases below for the full list of features in this release.

2.8.0-beta.5

  • Added a platform method to specify the OAuth redirect origin separately from the general HTTP origin [#93].
  • Updated dependencies [#92].

2.8.0-beta.4

  • Fix missing qs dependency
  • Updated dependencies [#91]

2.8.0-beta.3

  • FileThingpediaClient now implements lookupLocation and lookupEntity, which should help when manually annotating dialogues [#89].
  • Fixed OAuth 2.0 helpers with Entity type mixin parameters [#89].
  • The library was relicensed to Apache 2.0. This makes the licensing consistent with other components of Genie and Almond [#86].
  • Updated dependencies [#87, #88, #90].

2.8.0-beta.2

  • Added support for multiple developer dirs [#85].
  • Misc bug fixes [#84].

2.8.0-beta.1

  • FileThingpediaClient now supports multiple datasets in one dataset.tt file [#78]
  • Updated dependencies [#76, #77, #79, #80, #81, #82].

2.8.0-alpha.1

  • HttpClient now fully supports the getAllDeviceNames() method, which can be used to get a full snapshot of Thingpedia [#59, #75].
  • Minor fixes to the developer dir support [#58, #59].
  • Updated dependencies [#61, #62, #63, #64, #65, #67, #68, #69, #70, #71, #72, #74].

2.7.0

  • No changes since 2.7.0-beta.2.

Please see the development releases below for the full list of features in this release.

2.7.0-beta.2

  • Added the ability to specify a "developer directory", which is a local directory containing Thingpedia devices that overrides the configured remote Thingpedia, for testing [#57].

2.7.0-beta.1

  • Reduced logging verbosity.

2.7.0-alpha.4

  • Added support for query invocation hints: Thingpedia queries now receive a "hint" containing which filters, projections, sorting and slicing operations will be applied on the result. Query implementations can use the hint to reduce the amount of data retrieved from the server.

2.7.0-alpha.3

  • Misc bug fixes to help running Almond on Windows [#51].

2.7.0-alpha.2

  • Internationalization improvements:
    • Builtin classes are now translated when loading.
    • Translations are automatically loaded from JS devices, if a po/ directory containing .mo files is includes in the zip file
  • The manifest of Thingpedia devices is now exposed as the manifest property on the device class.
  • Updated to thingtalk 1.10.0-alpha.2

2.7.0-alpha.1

New features:

  • Placeholder interpolation in annotations of generic devices (e.g. in #[url], #_[name]) is now using the string-interp library, which provides a greater set of options for i18n and makes it consistent across all annotations #[46].
  • Placeholder interpolation for device names and descriptions is now applied to all devices, which improves i18n of devices [#46].
  • The Content Helper API is now stricter in recognizing which URLs are publicly accessible, and will reject private IPs or local hostnames [#45].
  • Updated dependencies [#47].

Breaking changes:

  • Node.js 8 is no longer supported, as the new i18n code requires a recent version of the Intl API.

2.6.1

  • The Content Helper API is now stricter in recognizing which URLs are publicly accessible, and will reject private IPs or local hostnames [#45].

2.6.0

Please see the previous release notes for the full list of changes and new features in this release series.

2.6.0-alpha.2

  • Fixed bad API in FileThingpediaClient; now the API is consistent with the base class [#43]
  • Added utilities to obtain device configuration info from a ThingTalk class [#42]
  • Added JSDoc-based documentation [#41]

2.6.0-alpha.1

  • Added new API to the ThingpediaClient interface, which were assumed present and used by Genie [#32]
  • Added FileThingpediaClient, a ThingpediaClient implementation based on local files [#32, #37, #38]
  • Build and dependency updates [#39, #40]

2.5.2

  • Fixed referencing abstract classes as subdevices [#36]
  • Fixed semi-custom OAuth (required by Home Assistant) [#35]

2.5.1

  • Fixed accidental compatibility break [#31]
  • Added support for HTTP status 308 [#30]

2.5.0

No changes. Please see the beta version release notes for the full list of changes and new features in this release.

2.5.0-beta.1

  • The thingpedia-client library was imported here. It includes the loaders for Thingpedia devices and the configuration mixins. The goal is that thingpedia will become a sufficient library to consume Thingpedia devices without a full instance of Almond. To this end, the import also includes new classes BasePlatform and BaseEngine, which provide the full extend of the engine and platform API that is guaranteed to be available to Thingpedia devices [#26].
  • The configuration interface for Thingpedia devices was revamped and cleaned. Devices can now implement the following hooks:
    • static loadFromOAuth2: to configure a device using plain OAuth 2.0
    • static loadFromCustomOAuth + static completeCustomOAuth: to configure a device with custom OAuth-like flows
    • static loadFromDiscovery + completeDiscovery for local discovery (Bluetooth, UPnP)
    • static loadInteractively for interactive (dialog-based) configuration Devices using these hooks should return a new instance of themselves, and not call any engine method. The old mechanism, based on loadOneDevice, will continue to be supported but is deprecated and will go away in the next major version [#10, #26].
  • New API: BaseDevice.platform is a simpler way to access platform-specific APIs from device implementations [#13, #26].
  • BaseDevice.engine is now deprecated and should not be used [#26].
  • ObjectSet and RefCounted are now exposed as Helpers; the old names are still accessible but are deprecated [#27].
  • New API: Preferences & Helpers.FilePreferences; this is a simple persistent key-value store and provides the interface and usual implementation of Platform.getSharedPreferences().
  • Thingpedia devices can now include the #[handle_thingtalk] annotation on their functions; if so, only a single query method per class is expected, instead of one get_ method per Thingpedia function [#28].
  • Updated dependencies [#24, #25, #29].

2.4.0

  • Error caused by OAuth are now wrapped in a custom error class, which is exposed in the API [#23]
  • Updated dependencies

2.3.4

  • Fixed handling of 301/302/307 redirects after POST requests
  • Updated dependencies

2.3.3

  • Output of HTTP helpers can be made quieter with a new debug option [#17]

2.3.2

  • Updated ThingTalk dependency

2.3.1

  • Extra data returned by /token OAuth2 endpoint is now available to the helpers callback [#14]

2.3.0

  • BaseDevice now provides a default name, description and uniqueId, based on the Thingpedia metadata.
  • Support code for v1 Thingpedia devices was removed.

2.2.3

  • Refactored the RSS helpers to use a third-party library, making them more robust [#7]
  • Fixed 307 redirection in HTTP helpers

2.2.2

  • Removed loader modules, which were moved to thingengine-core (and soon will be moved to a separate thingpedia-client module) [#3]

2.2.1

  • Fixed handling of 301 redirects [#1]

2.2.0

  • First official release in npm
  • Much of the compatibility API that was obsoleted in 2.0.0 was removed.
