v1.8.0-beta.0

• Adding support for Sanskrit
• Adding support for Sinhala and correcting consonant cluster detection for character mode
• Adding short break when switching from Indian text to English
• Correcting pitch change on capitals for English
• Adding fix for multiple voice files per language - deleting all except latest voice file

v1.7.3

• First stable release after 1.5.1
• Adding a separate config file for Hear2Read to save addon config in consistently working fashion
• Renaming the addon to "Hear2ReadNG" from "Hear2Read NG" to conform with the new breaking change in the NVDA Addon store. This has the unfortunate consequence effectively making this a different addon in the store

v1.7.2-beta.2

• Adding an info dialog on startup explaining the new change of using an alternative TTS for synthesising English
• Simplifying the update process for the addon by removing the need for Hear2Read to not be running to update the addon

v1.7.1-beta.1

• Correcting behaviour so that punctuation is spoken in English, while also allowing spelling clarification for Indian language text
• Adding several scripts to the global plugin overriding native NVDA gestures, while also ensuring behaviour remains unchanged outside of the Hear2Read TTS and addon
• Reverting change so that all voices show English as their language in Hear2Read. This is internal to NVDA and won't be noticed by the user

v1.7.0-beta.0

• Adding an enhanced character mode - reads the entire character cluster when using arrow keys (eg. र्ता as र halant त ा)
• Incorporating uni-algo library for grapheme segmentation and removing the previous unicode library being used

v1.6.3-beta.5

• Adding compatibility with NVDA version 2025.1
• Reverting a change making all voices English. Now voices declare their language to NVDA, making spelling checking better
