This is a step in the transition to using a common IPA-based
phoneme table for the pronunciations. It allows the base phonemes
to import the IPA versions during this transition phase.
Phoneme definitions. Add "equivalents" table to translate phonemes from a foreign language (eg. English) into the equivalant phonemes of this language. This is used when *_rules and *_list files indicate that a word uses pronunciation rules from a different language.
Unpronouncable words can be recognised by rules in *_rule files. This feature is now used for en, de, es.
Lang=ta, hi. Letter-names for combining vowel characters are distinguished from stand-alone vowel characters by a preceding beep.

Indicate language changes in IPA phoneme output.
Phoneme definitions FMT(), second parameter is amplitude percentage.
Phoneme definitions CALL(), If phoneme type is not defined, copy the static attributes from the called phoneme.
Unpronouncable word check: stop when an apostrophe is reached.

espeakedit --compile also compiles the intonation data
Added feature to produce phonemes as International Phonetic Alphabet.
phoneme definitions: Added "ipa" instruction to specify IPA phoneme name.
When spelling as individual characters, calculate the stress position for each character name.

Moved Croatian/Bosnian/Serbian dictionary source data to hbs_rules, hbs_list.
Added data for Ancient Greek voice ("grc").
In voice files, the attribute: word n adds a short pause between words. n = 1 to 4 for increasing pause length.

[1.26.05] Fix count of upper-case letters in a word to consider multibyte characters.
Mbrola translations, option to not match across a word boundary.
Mbrola translations, allow check of lengthen indicator [:].
espeakedit, add operation to apply a voice's formants modifications to a keyframe.

Added mechanism to reduce [t] before unstressed vowels (for en-us)
Fixed X (no vowels) operator in pre-rules in *_rules files.

[1.24.12] Produce dictsource/dict_phonemes, a list of which phonemes are used by each language's *_rules and *_list files.
Fix crash with -X option when spelling words (acronyms).
Rules files: added special character X meaning "no vowel until the word boundary". Used for lang=no.

Lang=hr, transliterate Cyrillic characters to Latin using TranslateChar().
TranslateChar() can now substitute a character by two replacement characters.
Lang=cs, more difference between long and short vowels, less length differnence beteeen stressed and unstressed syllables.
