#83, #87, #88, #92].
1.8.0
=====
* It is now possible to control the computer volume using the commands
of the speaker device ("increase the volume", "lower the volume", "mute",
"unmute") [#64].
* Launching apps from inside Almond is now possible when Almond is running
as a flatpak [#41, #42, #64].
* The shell extension was fixed and made more usable and more reliable. It is
also now compatible with GNOME 3.36 [#64].

============
* The Almond platform was updated to the 1.8 series [#61].
* The app now forces the English locale, as that is the only supported locale
at the moment [#58].
* The wake word implementation was changed to snowboy. This reduced the app
on-disk footprint, and made the app easier to install. As part of this
change, the wake word is now "computer" [#62].
* The speech-to-text backend was changed and now uses Microsoft Speech API,
significantly improving the voice quality [#62].
* Updated dependencies [#60].
1.7.1
=====
* The app now depends on the latest version of the GNOME runtime (3.34),
and uses the flathub-provided builds of node [#54]

* Flatpak builds now use node 10, and java 11 [#51]

1.4.0
=====
* The version was bumped to 1.4.0 to align with the 1.4 release of the Almond platform.
* The flatpak runtime was updated to the latest version (18.08).
* All dependencies in the Almond platform were updated [#20].
* The wake word detection module now uses mycroft-precise; this brings a much more
accurate model, with hopefully fewer false negatives across different speakers. It
also removes a proprietary component from Almond, which is now fully open source.
* Voice support was improved more generally, including through the use of echo cancellation
(where provided by the host's PulseAudio).
* Almond now correctly stops speaking when the user says so.
* The app now plays a sound when the wake word is detected, even if the Shell Extension
is not installed.
* It is now easier to test Almond Desktop in GNOME Builder, without installing.

removal of the app menu.
