v1.8.0 released 06/27/2018:

Enhancements

  • Added local stop functionality. This allows a user to stop an active function, such as an alert or timer, by uttering "Alexa, stop" when an Alexa-enabled product is offline.
  • Alerts in the background now stream in 10 sec intervals, rather than continuously.
  • Added support for France to the sample app.
  • Updated the ACL MIME type for sending JSON to AVS from "text/json" to "application/json".
  • friendlyName can now be updated for BlueZ implementations of BlueZBluetoothDevice and BlueZHostController.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where the Bluetooth agent didn't clear user data upon reset, including paired devices and the uuidMapping table.
  • Fixed MediaPlayer threading issues. Now each instance has it's own glib main loop thread, rather than utilizing the default main context worker thread.
  • Fixed segmentation fault issues that occurred when certain static initializers needed to be initialized in a certain order, but the order wasn't defined.

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.
  • On Raspberry Pi, BlueALSA must be terminated each time the device boots. See Raspberry Pi Quick Start Guide for more information.
