Full Release Notes
### Added - Added a new frame, `LLMSetToolChoiceFrame`, which provides a mechanism for modifying the `tool_choice` in the context. - Added `GroqTTSService` which provides text-to-speech functionality using Groq's API. - Added support in `DailyTransport` for updating remote participants' `canReceive` permission via the `update_remote_participants()` method, by bumping the daily-python dependency to >= 0.16.0. - ElevenLabs TTS services now support a sample rate of 8000. - Added support for `instructions` in `OpenAITTSService`. - Added support for `base_url` in `OpenAIImageGenService` and `OpenAITTSService`. ### Fixed - Fixed an issue in `RTVIObserver` that prevented handling of Google LLM context messages. The observer now processes both OpenAI-style and Google-style contexts. - Fixed an issue in Daily involving switching virtual devices, by bumping the daily-python dependency to >= 0.16.1. - Fixed a `GoogleAssistantContextAggregator` issue where function calls placeholders where not being updated when then function call result was different from a string. - Fixed an issue that would cause `LLMAssistantContextAggregator` to block processing more frames while processing a function call result. - Fixed an issue where the `RTVIObserver` would report two bot started and stopped speaking events for each bot turn. - Fixed an issue in `UltravoxSTTService` that caused improper audio processing and incorrect LLM frame output. ### Other - Added `examples/foundational/07x-interruptible-local.py` to show how a local transport can be used.
