v0.3.0

0.3.0 (2026-09-24)

⚠ BREAKING CHANGES

• text: the environment is managed by pixi (uv.lock, Makefile and .python-version are removed), and normalized text changes for most sentences, so most clips are re-synthesized.
• cache: clip cache keys change, so existing clip caches are not reused.
• breeze: the weights_dir key in [engine.breeze] is removed. Put the model dir or repo id at the end of command and start the server with breeze-tts-server. The fingerprint changes, so existing Breeze clips are not reused.

Features

• audio: normalize loudness to -16 LUFS and rebuild on encode changes (9b2b4d4)
• breeze: take the model from command and read model facts from the server (dc2abb0)
• cache: key clips by their exact text (7a15553)
• epub: skip notes and source lists by their semantics (89ffa8e)
• text: normalize with NeMo text processing and manage the env with pixi (ca269b6)
