Changelog for mycroft-core-18.8.13-17.69.noarch.rpm :

* Sun Feb 17 2019 Antonio Larrosa - Update to 18.8.13:
* Nice duration gh#MycroftAI/mycroft-core#1977 A new parsing helper for extracting durations from text has been added. The extract_duration() method returns a tuple with a timedelta and the remaining text.
* Document \"save_utterance\" config option gh#MycroftAI/mycroft-core#1980 The \"record_utterance\" option was undocumented and badly named so a new config option \"save_utterance\" was added to the listener config. The \"record_utterance\" option will still be working until 19.02.
* Update Italian formatting functions gh#MycroftAI/mycroft-core#1984
* Bugfixes + Fix issue with using sudo during the interactive part of dev_setup.sh gh#MycroftAI/mycroft-core#1978 + Fix minor typo in api-code gh#MycroftAI/mycroft-core#1991 + Fix multiple skills subprocesses gh#MycroftAI/mycroft-core#1975 + Fix rare crash issue when adding vocabulary while calculating intents. gh#MycroftAI/mycroft-core#1975
* Sat Feb 02 2019 Antonio Larrosa - Update to 18.8.12:
* GUI update (gh#MycroftAI/mycroft-core#1964) + Adds ability to sync variables from the gui into the skill and makes it possible to override the idle page.
* Always load dialogs as utf-8 (gh#MycroftAI/mycroft-core#1958) + This ensures that systems with a default file encoding of ascii, ansi and similar can read the dialog files correctly.
* Fix normalize of sentences containing \"half\" (gh#MycroftAI/mycroft-core#1966) + A bug introduced when improving the handling of numbers silently made the normalize not parse numbers after a \"half\" in the sentence. The change was reverted and the old behaviour is back.
* Update of stop handling of TTS (gh#MycroftAI/mycroft-core#1961) + The tts now cancels all pending speech requests that were issued before the stop command.
* Resting screen decorator (gh#MycroftAI/mycroft-core#1970) + Creating Idle pages was previously a tricky task requiring setting up message handlers and sending the correct message. Now a method can simply be tagged as an resting screen handler by applying the decorator AATTresting_screen_handler.
* Additional info from the audiotest (gh#MycroftAI/mycroft-core#1971) + The audio test now prints which device is used for recording and the command line used for playback. A -l option is also available now to list available audio devices.
* Prefer local audio outputs (gh#MycroftAI/mycroft-core#1963) + The audio system now prefer local backends before trying external ones. For example a https url will now consistently play using the vlc backend and not on a chromecast unless specified.
* Misc + Clean up unnecessary Logs in text client (gh#MycroftAI/mycroft-core#1957) + Tests for commented dialogs added (gh#MycroftAI/mycroft-core#1853)- Update to 18.8.11:

* Mon Dec 10 2018 Antonio Larrosa - Update to 18.8.8:
