eSpeak - new release

[Jonathan Duddington]

Version 1.11 of eSpeak is now available at:
   http://espeak.sourceforge.net/

This includes:

1.  Speaking files with XML type markup: HTML and SSML (Speech
Synthesis Markup Language), using the  -m  command line option.  Some
SSML tags (such as <voice>, <prosody rate volume pitch>) are
interpreted.  HTML tags are ignored, except that some ensure an
appropriate pause.  Further work remains.

2.  Various bug fixes and minor improvements to the speech.

3.  Additional languages.
    Afrikaans has been implemented with the help of a member of this
mailing list, Willem van der Walt.  Other languages need work or advice
from native speakers in order to improve them (German, Spanish,
Italian, Polish).

4.  The binary has been compiled for use with V18 of the portaudio
library.  You can now easily compile for V19 of portaudio without the
need for source code edits by firstly renaming the file  portaudio19.h 
to  replace the original  portaudio.h  file.
