v9.0.0

This release introduces a turn-key setup wrapper (the Spokestack) class used to build and initialize all Spokestack modules at once. Events can be consumed via the unified SpokestackAdapter interface or old-style listeners attached to the individual modules at build time. See the documentation for more details.

Breaking changes

• ASR activation property names have been reverted from active-(min|max) to wake-active-(min|max) to allow the React Native library to set them properly for both platforms.

Fixes

• Don't send empty ASR transcripts (#107)
  • If an ASR returns the empty string as either a partial or final result, it will not be reported to the client.
• Force pipeline stages to reset on deactivate
  • This allows AndroidSpeechRecognizer to be properly stopped when deactivate() is called on the speech pipeline.
• Send timeout events for empty transcripts
  • If an ASR returns the empty string as a final result, it will be reported to the client as a timeout.
• Don't send irrelevant playback events
  • PLAYBACK_COMPLETE events were being dispatched from the audio player for audio events unrelated to Spokestack TTS, such as when the Assistant activation beep was complete.
