============================


List of changes in the Infovox 2.1.4 Update:
--------------------------------------------

- Compatibility with Windows Millenium Edition. The licensing support 
  needs to be upgraded to be used with Windows Millenium Edition.

  has been now removed.

  application, reporting the current version of Crypkey.


List of changes in the Infovox 2.1.2 Update:
--------------------------------------------

- SpeedGet function: Infovox returns the right value for Speech Rate, 
  in version 2.1 it always returned 0 the first time it was accessed. 
  Programs known to have been affected by this bug: ZoomText Xtra 
  (AiSquared) and Envox (CT Studio).

- For voices created with the Voice Manager, the voice name is now also 
  exposed as the Speaker name. This fixes a problem with programs that 
  list the Speaker names instead of the Voice name. 
  Programs known to have been affected by this bug: Jaws (Henter-Joyce).

- Reviewed default ranking for the engine, it solves problems noticed 
  when using Infovox together with programs using a search criteria to 
  select a voice. 
  Programs known to have been affected by this bug: Windows Eyes (GWMicro).

- Pitch Dynamics is no longer set to 25 when pressing Stop (or calling 
  AudioReset). The Pitch Dynamics setting keeps now the correct value.

- Eliminated error condition in the SAPI tags parser when the last character 
  of the buffer is a '\' (backslash) not belonging to a tag. This condition 
  should actually never occurr. However now it is correctly handled by Infovox. 
  Programs known to have been affected by this bug: Jaws (Henter-Joyce).

- Added detection and handling of error conditions that could occurr when 
  Infovox is being removed from memory. This eliminates the risk of crashes 
  when closing an application using Infovox.

- Improved check for distortion on audio output.
