Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (unimrcp-gdf_1.7.4-bionic_amd64.deb)
¶ Summary
This release introduces support for multiple versions of Dialogflow API. The original Dialogflow agents continue to be supported using v2 API and new Dialogflow CX agents are now supported using v3beta1 API. The API version can be specified from the plugin configuration or via a server profile. The release is built against a newer version of Google APIs.
Please note that the entities MRCP channel and gRPC stub are now decoupled to allow the channel to be associated to different versions of gRPC stub at run-time. In former versions, the plugin was pre-build using a specific version of gRPC stub.
Everyone is advised to fully revalidate the existing functionality in a test environment before using this version of the plugin in production.
¶ Changes
The detailed list of changes introduced in this release follows.
¶ New Features
- Introduced support for multiple versions of Dialogflow API, including the current v2 and new v2beta1, v3beta1 APIs. The API version can be specified from the plugin configuration or via a server profile.
- Added support for Dialogflow CX agents using v3beta1. The agent identifier must be provided by user application via a new attribute 'agent' passed to built-in grammar or set in vendor-specific parameters similarly to the existing attributes 'projectid', 'dialogid' and others.
- Allow max length of messages received/sent over a gRPC connection to be specified from configuration. Note that the default rx limit may not be sufficient to process responses from Dialogflow CX agents.
¶ Fixed Problems
- None.
¶ Configuration Parameters
- Added a new attribute 'api' to the element 'streaming-recognition'. The attribute defaults to 'v2' and also accepts 'v2beta1' and 'v3beta1' values.

Now, the behavior has been fixed to reattempt the connection to the license server in such an event, without causing any interruption in service.
¶ Miscellaneous
- Switched from Dialogflow v2beta1 to v2 API.
- A new entry 'license permit' has been added to the usage status file. The parameter is set either to 'true' or 'false' and indicates the current status of the license enforcement.
- The plugin configuration will no longer be overwritten while upgrading the .deb package. The RPM package was not affected.

¶ Changes
The detailed list of changes introduced in this release follows.
¶ New Features
- Added support for the MRCP header field Speech-Incomplete-Timeout, which is observed only when the attribute 'interim-results' is set to 'true'.
¶ Fixed Problems
- Fixed a possible segfault when response to gRPC stream creation arrives after no-input timeout is elapsed.
- Always wait for reading to complete and only then finish the gRPC streaming.
- If project-id is missing, respond with a completion cause ERROR instead of GRAM_LOAD_FAILURE.
¶ Configuration Parameters
- Added a new attribute 'speech-incomplete-timeout' to the element 'speech-dtmf-input-detector', which is set to 1000 msec by default.
- Changed the default value of the configuration parameter 'vad-mode' from 1 to 2.

¶ Summary
This release adds support for recognition results available in JSON format. Pre-defined speech and DTMF grammars can now be configured in the plugin being mapped to a big variety of system and developer entities supported by Dialogflow.
¶ Changes
The detailed list of changes introduced in this release follows.
¶ New Features
- Added support for recognition results available in JSON format. Based on a new configuration parameter, the QueryResults structure, received in binary Protobuf format, is transformed either to XML or JSON format, being further sent to the MRCP client in a RECOGNITION-COMPLETE event.
- Added support for pre-defined built-in speech and DTMF grammars, which in turn are mapped to a big variety of system and developer entities supported by Dialogflow. In order for this feature to work, Dialogflow agents need to be configured in a certain way.
¶ Fixed Problems
- Quoted special characters in XML elements.
¶ Configuration Parameters
- Added a new element 'results', which allows to configure data format and indentations used to compose recognition results.
- Added a new element 'builtin-grammars', which may optionally contain a set of built-in grammars.
¶ Configuration Format
- Added Section 3.3 Results.
- Added Section 3.4 Built-in Grammars.
- Added Section 3.5 Built-in Grammar.
¶ Configuration Steps
- Updated Section 5.4 Retrieving Results.

¶ Summary
IVR platforms can now to utilize the Google Dialogflow API via MRCP.
Dialogflow is a robust natural language understanding platform, powered by Google Cloud Speech API internally, which means a single API call performs not only speech recognition but also detects a user intent. Furthermore, Dialogflow allows to design an entire conversation flow by encapsulating all the dialog-related information in the engine, which dramatically simplifies implementation of IVR applications.
