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.

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
Fixes:
Lang=el, mk. Was speaking words as individual letters.
Lang=pl. Fix prounciation of 'ć' and 'ci'.
Fix crash in big-endian data conversion program.
Fix problem where changing voices reduces the speaking rate, at fast rates.
speak_lib.h: add macro definitions for minimum, maximum, and normal speaking rate values.

Fix: crash with very long numbers.
Very long nubers ( > 14 digits) now spoken as individual digits.
Fix: bracket was interfering with recognizing last-word in a clause.
Lang=el fix: all words were spoken as individual letters.

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.

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 attribute: nopause. Prevents the insertion of a short pause when this phoneme starts a word which follows a vowel.
New conditions: isFlag1, isFlag2, isFlag3, isSibilant.
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.
lang=en: Reduce consecutive unstressed syllables to 'diminished' stress, only in unstressed words.
lang=de: Change 'r' phoneme.

*_list files: added attribute $sentence.
*_rules files: added attributes $w_alt, $p_alt.
phoneme definitions: added attribute no_pause.
-X command-line option: Show the matching of multiple-word entries in *_list files.
espeakedit: Add menu option to compile the intonation data file (the data is not yet used).
Start language: Bulgarian.
lang=bg (Bulgarian): Add feature in espeakedit to make bg_listx from a lexicon of words which have stress position mark-up.
espeakedit: Change the frame-length field from Spin Control to Text Control to allow better access from screen-readers.
Language options: add an option to the Regressive Voicing option to de-voice the final consonant of words.
Don't speak "dot" if an ellipsis is followed by a dot.
Intonation: change the internal pitch unit to give finer control, and align with the values displayed in the espeakedit Prosody window.

Language improvements include Danish rules.
Fixed phoneme [n^] for Klatt synthesizer, was producing noise burst.
espeakedit: Display error details after Compile Dictionary.
espeakedit: Fix: After speaking a word which changes language, Compile
Dictionary may compile the wrong dictionary.
Don't consider multiple spaces as thousands separator (eg. 2 000 )
Lang=Hungarian, don't allow dot as thousands separator.
