Full Release Notes

## v2.0.2 — Smarter Listening, Better Testing

Rapida now **hears better and knows when to stop listening.** This release introduces pluggable Voice Activity Detection and End-of-Speech engines, a comprehensive provider test suite, and key infrastructure upgrades.

### Highlights

**Pluggable VAD & End-of-Speech** — Your agent now has ears that actually know when you're done talking.

| Engine | Type | How it works |
|--------|------|-------------|
| **LiveKit EOS** | End-of-Speech | ONNX-based turn detection with chat-aware inference |
| **Pipecat EOS** | End-of-Speech | Mel-spectrogram analysis for precise speech boundary detection |
| **Silence-based EOS** | End-of-Speech | Configurable silence threshold fallback |
| **TEN VAD** | Voice Activity | Lightweight real-time voice activity detection |
| **FireRed VAD** | Voice Activity | ONNX-based VAD with fbank feature extraction |

All models are bundled and downloaded at build time — zero runtime fetching.

**Audio Heartbeat** — A new keepalive mechanism prevents premature end-of-speech triggers during natural pauses, making conversations feel more human.
