Global Sonic Pitch 1.1.6

• Fixes repeated opening of NVDA settings dialogs after switching to SAPI4 or 32-bit SAPI5 on newer 64-bit NVDA builds.
• Replaces broad settings-dialog garbage collection with targeted removal of destroyed dialog registry entries.
• Keeps existing Sonic stream lifetime protections unchanged.

Global Sonic Pitch 1.1.5

Changes

• Fixes restoring the saved per-voice Sonic pitch value when switching back to sapi5_32 after using another synthesizer.
• Clears per-instance runtime Sonic pitch synchronization state around synthesizer switches, so a newly created 32-bit SAPI host receives the saved value instead of staying at the neutral pitch.

Validation

• Python compile check passed for the add-on plugin, SAPI4 host, SAPI5 host, and install tasks.
• git diff --check passed; only CRLF conversion warnings were reported.
• Live isolated NVDA test passed for sapi5_32 -> oneCore -> sapi5_32: initial readback was 62, return readback was 62, and the log confirmed the 32-bit host received sonicPitch=62 after switching back.

Global Sonic Pitch 1.1.4

Changes

• Fixes NVDA settings dialog cleanup on newer 64-bit NVDA builds when SAPI4 or SAPI5 is active.
• Avoids keeping destroyed Voice settings panels referenced after closing the dialog.
• Ignores late refreshes for already destroyed Voice settings controls and schedules cleanup after settings dialogs are destroyed.

Validation

• Python compile check passed for the add-on plugin, SAPI4 host, SAPI5 host, and install tasks.
• git diff --check passed; only CRLF conversion warnings were reported.
• Live isolated NVDA test passed on 64-bit NVDA with sapi4_32, sapi5, and sapi5_32, opening and closing Speech and General settings twice for each synthesizer.

Global Sonic Pitch 1.1.3

Compatibility release.

Changes:

• Refreshes the visible Sonic pitch control in NVDA Voice settings after changing only a voice variant.
• Keeps separate pending and saved Sonic pitch values for each voice variant touched while the Voice settings dialog is open.
• Preserves the effective setSynth signature when Global Sonic Pitch wraps synthesizer switching.
• Improves compatibility with Google TTS for NVDA 0.4 on older NVDA versions by filtering unsupported setSynth keyword arguments before a single call to the next wrapper.

Validation:

• Python syntax check for the main plugin, SAPI4 host, SAPI5 host, and installTasks.py.
• git diff --check.
• Simulated setSynth compatibility tests for old and new NVDA signatures.
• Simulated variant dialog refresh test.
• Package inspection confirmed manifest, HTML docs, and no pycache or .pyc files.

Global Sonic Pitch 1.1.2

Compatibility release for Global Sonic Pitch.

Changes:

• Adds Sonic pitch to synthesizers with dynamic or read-only supportedSettings without replacing their original settings logic.
• Preserves dynamic synthesizer behavior such as Google TTS automatic language profiles.
• Adds active voice variants to the per-voice Sonic pitch identity when a synthesizer exposes a meaningful variant.
• Keeps existing per-voice saved values working as a fallback when no variant-specific value has been saved yet.
• Avoids duplicated Sonic pitch settings when NVDA speech settings are opened repeatedly.

Validation:

• Confirmed by user testing with Google TTS 0.4 on another computer.
• Python syntax check for the main add-on plugin and SAPI host modules.
• Simulated tests for normal supportedSettings attributes, read-only dynamic supportedSettings properties, automatic-language notice mode, repeated patching, descriptor restoration, variant-specific keys, and fallback from old keys.
• Package integrity check for the built .nvda-addon.

Global Sonic Pitch 1.1.1

Stability release for Global Sonic Pitch.

Changes:

• Records the Sonic quality actually accepted by newly created streams, including fallback to fast mode when better-quality mode cannot be applied.
• Keeps the requested quality separately from the applied quality so a fallback does not cause repeated processor or stream recreation.
• Improves SAPI4 stability by keeping retired Sonic streams alive for the 32-bit host lifetime on fragile SAPI4 paths.
• Synchronizes SAPI4 extended range and quality before applying remote Sonic pitch changes.

Validation:

• Python syntax check for the main add-on plugin and SAPI host modules.
• Package integrity check for the built .nvda-addon.
• Simulated permanent quality setter failure stress test for the main WavePlayer path, SAPI4 host, and SAPI5 host.

Global Sonic Pitch 1.1

Global Sonic Pitch 1.1 adds an optional Sonic processing quality setting.

Changes:

• Added the Use better-quality Sonic processing checkbox in the Global Sonic Pitch settings panel.
• Fast Sonic mode remains the default: sonicQuality = 0. Better-quality processing stores sonicQuality = 1.
• Applies the selected quality to newly created Sonic streams in the main WavePlayer path.
• Sends the selected quality to the bundled 32-bit SAPI5 and SAPI4 host wrappers through the existing hidden host parameter channel.
• Preserves the existing stream lifetime, locking, buffering, retirement, and safe boundary protections.
• Updated English, Polish, and Slovak documentation and translations.

Validation:

• python -m py_compile for the global plugin, SAPI4 host, SAPI5 host, and install tasks.
• msgfmt --check for Polish and Slovak translations.
• git diff --check.
• Package inspection verified manifest version 1.1, required files, bundled Sonic libraries, docs, locales, and no .pyc / pycache entries.

Global Sonic Pitch 1.0

Stable 1.0 release.

This release replaces the withdrawn 1.0 build. It is based on the tested 0.4.20 line and keeps the 20-semitone extended range plus standard sapi4_32 and sapi5_32 host support.

Changes since 0.4.20:

• Improves short first audio block handling without timer-based audio flushing.
• Defers WavePlayer completion callbacks until processed Sonic audio is fed back to NVDA.
• Hardens Voice settings dialog cleanup for OK, Apply, Escape, Cancel, and window destruction.

Verification:

• Python syntax check passed for the add-on Python files.
• Package contents verified: manifest, main plugin, SAPI4/SAPI5 host wrappers, Sonic 32-bit and 64-bit DLLs, English/Polish/Slovak docs and Polish/Slovak locale files.
• Package verified to contain no pycache or .pyc files.
• User SAPI4/Syntalk regression test confirmed no crash with this build.

• Adds standard sapi4_32 support on 64-bit NVDA through the bundled 32-bit host wrapper when NVDA's SAPI4 WASAPI path is active.
• Keeps remote 32-bit SAPI processing inside the 32-bit synth host to avoid accidental main-process audio processing.
• Updates English, Polish, and Slovak documentation plus testing and store notes.
