Version 1.3 - Third release candidate

Usage

• Start up Ubuntu (it may work with 18.04 or greater, but only tested with 20.10)
• Download the source code zip or tar, down below
• Extract it anywhere
• Open a terminal and cd into the extracted folder
• Run sudo ./install.sh install
• After installing everything, there should be an icon on the Ubuntu's launcher. Maybe you have to relog to see it. Or run UBUVoiceAssistant from a terminal

Changelog

Major improvements over v1.2:

• Created installer for Ubuntu 20.10 and its derivatives (and maybe Debian or other Ubuntu versions, depending on the version of their packages)
• Added pairing guide inside the program.
• Interface is now way more responsive
• Upgraded chat look and feel.
• Moved the configuration files from the program folder to a folder inside the user's home folder.

Bugfixes since v1.3-rc2:

• Installer does not exit immediately when an error occurs.
• Chat interface is mostly a WIP, a lot of strings are untranslated yet, and mute or configurations buttons don't work yet.
• Some text boxes have to be adjusted to be able to show full text.
• Writing text on the app is not complete yet. Talk with it through voice or run /usr/lib/mycroft-core/start-mycroft.sh cli and type your request there.
• Language is not supported by Moodle appears even when it is supported.
• There's a race condition on where sometimes the Assistant can't get the "Mycroft is ready" signal and gets stuck. You have to kill python3 from the system monitor.
• After pairing, it may open 2 chat windows. You can't close them because that will end completely the program.
• Settings are not persisted.
• Sometimes the icon disappears from the taskbar, mostly after pairing. You can access the window using alt+tab.
• The program is not always following the OS theme when the desktop environment uses GTK: GNOME/LXDE/XFCE/MATE/Cinnamon. It works better when the DE uses Qt: KDE/LXQt.

Known Issues:

• We still use the default icon on taskbar and OS launcher
• Program can't detect if the device was unpaired from the web and it won't open pairing window
• There is still no proper logging system to file
• There are too much debug texts
• The program is not always following the OS theme when the desktop environment uses GTK: GNOME/LXDE/XFCE/MATE/Cinnamon. It works better when the DE uses Qt: KDE/LXQt.

• Sometimes the icon disappears from the taskbar, mostly after pairing. You can access the window using alt+tab.
• If you unpair the device from the web, the assistant doesn't show automatically the pairing window and goes to the chat instead.
• The program is not always following the OS theme when the desktop environment uses GTK: GNOME/LXDE/XFCE/MATE/Cinnamon. It works better when the DE uses Qt: KDE/LXQt.
• The chat should scroll to bottom when a new message arrives (as you should expect from a chat app) but it still doesn't
