Version 0.9.1
* Add module for the non-free IBM TTS (voxin) speech synthesis.
* Extend licence to later versions of GPL and LGPL.
* Update mailing list address to savannah.
* Make generic modules fallback to existing voices.
Version 0.9
* Add modules for non-free Baratinoo (VoxyGen) and Kali speech syntheses.
* Add configuration file for the Mary-TTS system.
* Add configuration file for espeak-ng + mbrola.
* Set the pulse client name when using the generic module with paplay.
* espeak-*-mbrola-generic: Update voice list.
* Auto-detect module availability.
* Make generic module provide voice list.
* Add systemd service file.
Version 0.8.8
* Add German translation, thanks to Chris Leick for the patch
* Fix some spelling mistakes, thanks to Paul Gevers for the patch
* Some slight code improvements
Version 0.8.7
* Further fixes to spd-conf, which should now work properly.
* Split the espeak-ng driver code into its own source file.
* Add a work-around to the espeak-ng driver to account for spaces in voice
names which recently appeared in espeak-ng git master. This will properly
be fixed in 0.9.
* Voice names are not forced to lower case, due to espeak-ng git master now
having multi-case voice names.
* Fix stripped audio output from the flite module, thanks to Samuel Thibault.
* Further code and build improvements.

with no clients connected.
* Add support for espeak-ng.
* Configuration documentation for the ibmtts module.
* Removal of unused configuration options from the ibmtts module.
* Add command-line argument to allow for custom modules location

This now actually works without tweaks.

Speech Dispatcher:
Key features:
* Common interface to different TTS engines
* Handling concurrent synthesis requests -- requests may come
assynchronously from multiple sources within an application and/or
from different applications
* Subsequent serialization, resolution of conflicts and priorities of
incomming requests
* Context switching -- state is maintained for each client connection
independently, event for connections from within one application
* High-level client interfaces for popular programming languages
* Common sound output handling -- audio playback is handled by Speech
Dispatcher rather than the TTS engine, since most engines have limited
sound output capabilities
What is a very high level GUI library to graphics, Speech Dispatcher is
to speech synthesis. The application neither needs to talk to the devices
directly nor to handle concurrent access, sound output and other tricky
aspects of the speech subsystem.
