Updated eSpeak makefile to inherit compiler options.
Language Greek (el): recognize polytonic spelling.
Language changes: en, gu, it, pt, ta, ur.
Language phoneme changes: de [r], hi [a:] [r].
Added phoneme table for Arabic.
git-svn-id: https://espeak.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/espeak/trunk@376 d46cf337-b52f-0410-862d-fd96e6ae7743
Fix bug, use of the command-line "espeakedit --compile" produced phoneme data
in which vowels started at full amplitude instead of gradual increase.
Fix bug: SSML <break time=""> with values greater than 23 seconds were ignored
due to arithmetic overflow.
Phoneme definition files:
Added new function: ChangeNextPhoneme().
Language changes include: da, en, fa, gu, hu, it, nl, pt, ta
Started new language: eu (Basque).
*_rules files:
Allow $p_alt1, $p_alt2, etc in pre-conditions. The rule matches if the
characters before the current point in the word occur as an entry in the
*_list file with the corresponding $alt attibute.
Added condition $list. This is similar to $p_alt etc, but examines
all words in the *_list file which don't have the $only attribute.

Added runtime detection of pulseaudio, with fallback to portaudio if pulse is not running. Use build option "AUDIO=runtime" in the makefile.
Phoneme programs. Added condition "isTranslationGiven" to test whether a phoneme has been specified explicitly for a word in *_list.

espeakedit. Try "aplay" and then "play" to play sound.
Languages:
Kannada (kn) now in official release.
Esperanto (eo) change prosody.
git-svn-id: https://espeak.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/espeak/trunk@257 d46cf337-b52f-0410-862d-fd96e6ae7743
Change in format of *_dict files. 'Word-boundary' at the start of a rule from *_rules is not implied by a new rule type RULE_PRE_ATSTART.
espeakedit: Improvements to Tools->Process Lexicon->Italian which makes the file dictsource/it_listx.
lang=hu, fixes for ordinal numbers.
Speed-up, add files sonic.cpp, sonic.h

Speed increase. Added the "sonic" routines by Bill Cox to reduce the length of eSpeak's sound output data, so as to make the speaking speed faster.
Ordinal numbers: Some languages (el,es) use the ordinal form of hundreds and tens part of a number, as well as the units part. Added language option NUM2_MULTIPLE_ORDINAL.
git-svn-id: https://espeak.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/espeak/trunk@254 d46cf337-b52f-0410-862d-fd96e6ae7743
Fix error in big-endian data conversion program, producing bad data.
Make geminated voiced stops (eg. [bb] ) longer at fast speeds.
Provide conditional compilation of the mbrola interface, define macro INCLUDE_MBROLA in speech.h
Mbrola: also look for mbrola voices in /usr/share/mbrola/voices
Pad TUNES and frame_t structures to a multiple of 4 bytes.
lang=da, Don't weaken unvoiced stops before pause.
lang=el, Remove final unstressed [a] if the next word starts with [a].
lang=pt, Change final [U] to [w] if next word starts with a vowel.
espeak 1.44.03

Lang=el, mk. Was speaking words as individual letters.
Lang=pl. Fix prounciation of 'ć' and 'ci'.

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.
git-svn-id: https://espeak.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/espeak/trunk@251 d46cf337-b52f-0410-862d-fd96e6ae7743
Add mbrowrap.cpp to emulate the mbrola library which is available in Windows, but not on Linux. mbrola voices in command-line espeak and libespeak now call mbrola directly rather than generating phoneme information as text. Mbrola phonemes as text is still available with the new --pho command-line option.
git-svn-id: https://espeak.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/espeak/trunk@248 d46cf337-b52f-0410-862d-fd96e6ae7743
Fix: Speak punctuation option also caused text after [[ to be spoken as phoneme codes even if espeakPHONEMES flag is not set.
Speak sequences of letters and dots as individual letters, and don't speak 'dot', eg. "u.s.a."
Don't announce punctuation in the alternative text inside <audio ... </audio>
Vowelcharts, show the positions of multiple FMT() in vowel phonemes definitions.
Phoneme definitions:
New attributes: flag1, flag2, flag3

New statement: InsertPhoneme()
Phonemes: improve syllablic [m-] [n-] [N-]
*_rules: add attributes $p_alt .. $p_alt3, $w_alt .. $w_alt3
*_list: add attributes: $sentence, $atstart
klatt synthesizer: implement echo.
espeakedit, Prosody display: Indicate stressed and secondary-stress syllables.
espeakedit: remember window size and position.
Intonation:
New file, 'phsource/intonation' to define 'tunes' which can be used from voice files.
espeakedit: add Compile -> Intonationm data
Speed: Increase range to 80 to 450, with default=175.
Improve speaking at high speeds.
