| ### Build System | |||
| The build system for eSpeak has been changed on the *master* branch to use | |||
| autotools and to support building the phoneme data and language dictionaries | |||
| on POSIX systems. | |||
| 1. Use autotools (`autoconf`, `automake` and `libtool`) to build espeak. | |||
| 2. Use the portaudio header on the build machine, not the one in espeak. This | |||
| avoids the need to link to the correct portaudio header file. | |||
| 3. Detect wxWidgets using `wx-config`. | |||
| 4. Add `configure` options and detection for the `pulse`, `portaudio`, | |||
| `runtime` and `sada` audio API modes. | |||
| 5. Allow `CXXFLAGS` to be overwritten from the environment. This is based | |||
| on the patch for Debian bug #707925 by Jason White. | |||
| 6. *Klatt*, *MBROLA*, *libsonic* and asynchronous command support was made | |||
| optional. This covers: | |||
| * adding an option to the `configure` script; | |||
| * only building the source files that are enabled; | |||
| * removing the guards around the relevant source files; | |||
| * removing the relevant conditional compilation defines from `speech.h`; | |||
| * fixing the sources if needed to build without support for the feature. | |||
| 7. Fixes for building with wxWidgets 3.0, while still supporting wxWidgets 2.8. | |||
| ### espeakedit | |||
| The following changes have been made to `espeakedit` to make it usable from | |||
| the command line, especially for use in the build process: | |||
| 1. Build the intonation data as well as the phoneme data when the `--compile` | |||
| option is passed. | |||
| 2. Don't compile the dictionaries when using the `--compile` command. | |||
| 3. Only call `DrawEnvelopes` if `MAKE_ENVELOPES` is defined. This prevents the | |||
| `phsource/envelopes.png` file being updated every build. | |||
| 4. Don't load the phoneme data before compiling it, as the phoneme data may | |||
| not exist. | |||
| 5. Use the path set by `ESPEAK_DATA_PATH` if that environment variable exists, | |||
| otherwise use the `HOME` environment variable. | |||
| 6. Don't use the paths from the configuration file when running the `--compile` | |||
| command. | |||
| ### Bug Fixes | |||
| The following bugs have been fixed on the *master* branch: | |||
| * [`c1196192e5`](https://github.com/rhdunn/espeak/commit/c1196192e5950a80d37073135780441cc782c127) | |||
| — don't crash when `espeak_SetPunctuationList` is called with a null pointer. | |||
| * [`304d265f46`](https://github.com/rhdunn/espeak/commit/304d265f462fa4854c7d1f953131c69937a2fe74) | |||
| — fix a segfault when running `espeak -x "[[]]"` | |||
| * [`c098e8b891`](https://github.com/rhdunn/espeak/commit/c098e8b8910c1bffdd878198095fee803d8bd73a) | |||
| — change the IPA transcription of the `/i/` phoneme to `i`. | |||
| These have been sent upstream for inclusion in the upstream version of eSpeak. | |||
