  • Support the --compile-intonations command-line option.
  • Support SSML <phoneme alphabet="espeak" ph="..."> tags.
  • Added man files for the speak-ng and espeak-ng command-line programs.
  • Created a companion espeak-ng API to provide more detailed error codes and provide access to the new espeak-ng functionality.

  • Group languages by their language family and use BCP47 compliant names.
  • Support for Windows and BSD platforms.

build:

  • Build the code with a C99 compiler, instead of a C++ compiler.
  • Provide a pkg-config file (patch by Luke Yelavich).
  • Use -fPIC to support sparc/sparc64 architectures.
  • Removed the local portaudio header files.
  • Use the system's sonic library and header files.
  • Output phoneme compilation errors to stderr.
  • Generate build failures if building phoneme, intonation or dictionary files contain errors.
  • Provide modern Visual Studio project files to build eSpeak NG on Windows, with a WiX-based project to create an MSI installer.

restructuring:

  • Moved the library code to src/libespeak-ng.
