Sep 4, 2013
- Support for freetts speech generation has been removed.
- Fixed bug where a null pointer exception message displayed when loading an m3j playlist.
- If the envelope command was used with a playlist generated by the playlist command, album names were not printed under certain circumstances.
- In some cases, the program would report "Warning - no tag on file xxxx" incorrectly, when there was a tag. This did not affect the processing. The problem has been fixed.
- In the customization dialog, automatically supply the default mixer.
- If Play Announcements is requested and no speech engine or voice is selected, Jampal will use a default engine.

- ESpeak: Jampal now supports the ESpeak speech engine in Windows, Linux and any other environment that supports ESpeak. It also supports mbrola voices when used with espeak.

- Jampal now supports full use of unicode character sets. There is a font menu option so that if you are using non-English characters you can select an appropriate font to display them.
- This also fixes a problem where if an ID3V2.4 tag with UTF-8 font was edited, an incorrect ID3V2.3 tag was created that caused Microsoft media player to refuse to play the file.
- Added a Help menu item to display the online help pages.
- Jampal now requires Java version 6.

- Most Recently Used list: Open menu includes a list of the libraries opened recently to save time when opening libraries.
- Alternate Album: Custom tag for the case where one song is on two or more albums. You can record additional albums in a comments tag. The additional entries will be added to the library so that when sorting by album you can see the song in both albums although only one copy of the song exists on your hard drive.
- Duplicate entries in playlist: You can now have multiple copies of a track in a playlist. This is regardless of the alternate album setting. If you want to play the same song 100 times, just add it to the playlist 100 times.
- Library save Improvement: When saving a library using the File, Save Library option, save settings such as last song playing, selection, window size.
- Compiler Upgrades: Jampal now requires Java version 5. ptts is now compiled with Microsoft Visual C 2005 (V8). tagbkup for cygwin is now compiled with gcc g (GCC) 3.3.3
- Sound Quality: In some environments, sound quality was degraded. To avoid this an extra customization parameter has been added for mixer name. In most cases selecting the mixer "Java Sound Audio Engine" will provide best quality, but you can now try different options in case the sound does not work or is poor quality.
