- New params: max_retries (default 0), retry_delay (default 5s)
- On unexpected close, retries up to max_retries times
- Does not retry on server_error (server rejected connection)
- Extracted _create_websocket() helper for reuse
- Added 4 unit tests for reconnect behavior
MagicMock auto-attributes are not JSON serializable. Set language,
language_probability, and duration explicitly. Also exclude metadata
events from segment count assertion.
- stream=true now returns text/event-stream with per-segment SSE events
- Each segment yields 'data: {json}' followed by 'data: [DONE]'
- Error events streamed as 'data: {"error": ...}'
- Temp files cleaned up in finally block
- 5 new tests in test_server_extended.py (183 total passing)
- New word_timestamps option (default False) in client handshake
- When enabled, each segment includes 'words' array with per-word
start/end times and probability scores
- Wired through entire pipeline: client → server → backend → transcribe()
- Words include timestamp_offset for accurate absolute times
- REST API already supported word timestamps; now WebSocket does too
- Added 9 unit tests for word timestamp extraction and formatting
- New whisper_live/diarization.py: SpeakerDiarizer with online clustering
- Uses pyannote.audio speaker embeddings (optional dependency)
- Cosine similarity threshold for speaker matching (default 0.55)
- Running average embedding update for speaker stability
- Configurable max_speakers limit (default 10)
- Client options: enable_diarization, max_speakers
- Segments include 'speaker' field when diarization is active
- Graceful fallback: logs warning if pyannote not installed
- Added 12 unit tests (mock-based, no GPU required)
- New whisper_live/metrics.py with Counter, Gauge, Histogram metrics
- Track connections (opened/closed/rejected), transcription latency,
audio processed, segments emitted, REST requests, and errors
- All metric helpers are no-ops when prometheus_client not installed
- --metrics_port CLI flag to expose /metrics endpoint (0 = disabled)
- Metrics integrated into server.py, base.py at key instrumentation points
- 17 new tests in tests/test_metrics.py (178 total passing)
- max_clients must be >= 1
- max_connection_time must be > 0
- batch_max_size must be >= 1 (when batch enabled)
- batch_window_ms must be >= 0 (when batch enabled)
- Added 5 new tests for parameter validation
- Add MAX_TRANSCRIPT_LENGTH (500) and MAX_TRANSLATION_QUEUE_SIZE (100)
class constants to ServeClientBase
- Trim transcript and text lists after each update_segments() call
- Create translation queue with maxsize to prevent unbounded growth
- Added tests for _trim_transcript()
- All ClientManager methods (add_client, get_client, remove_client,
get_wait_time, is_server_full, is_client_timeout) now protected by
a threading.Lock
- cleanup() called outside the lock to avoid holding it during I/O
- is_server_full() computes wait time inline under lock instead of
calling get_wait_time() to avoid nested lock acquisition
- Added concurrent thread safety tests for add/remove and get operations
these new test cover issues such as thread safety, VAD thresholding,
message routing, error handling etc. that weren't covered by existing
tests. Mocking is used to avoid dependencies on GPU, ONNX etc.
