Retro TTS Pack 1.2.2 adds a Lion-only Nix package and clearer Microsoft Speech Dispatcher module names.
- Rename the modules to
microsoft-sapi5(Microsoft SAPI5: Sam, Mike, Mary) andmicrosoft-speech-platform(Microsoft Speech Platform: David, Zira, Mark). The renderer engine keys remainmssamandonecore. Lowercase, hyphenated identifiers keep them selectable through Speech Dispatcher. - Migrate standalone installer configurations to the new names and remove the old module entries. Automatically discovered modules have the usual
-genericsuffix. - Add
packages.x86_64-linux.lion-onlyfor SoNix and other downstream systems. It excludes Tiger/Leopard archives, voice data and module configs while retaining Lion and the Microsoft engines. The default Retro TTS package and portable installers continue to offer all Panthera generations.
Validation: full and Lion-only Nix builds; 97 full-package renders and 50 Lion-only renders; Microsoft module selection/multiword synthesis through an isolated dispatcher; installer migration test and BestSpeech regressions. ARM runtime layout is checked; ARM execution was not tested.
Download the x86_64 archive for Linux PCs or aarch64 for 64-bit ARM. Unpack and run ./install.sh. Portable archives include code and runtime libraries; the installer obtains external voice data from checksum-pinned sources. SHA256SUMS covers both archives.
