Another day, another release for 64-bit:
v9: proof that begging for contributions works
This feature packed release is thanks to regular contributor titet11, and new contributor crucio2211! Here's what's new:
• Smart dictionary updates: Preserves user's custom dictionary entries during updates, Only adds new words, prevents duplicates, and Auto-removes accents for compatibility (é→e, ñ→n). It also auto-downloads new language dictionaries. (Thanks crucio2211)
• Enhanced Pause Control (from IBMTTS): Three pause modes for better speech rhythm. Mode 0: Do not shorten, Mode 1: Shorten at end only, Mode 2: Shorten all pauses. (once again thanks to crucio2211)
• One-click setup for Windows logon/UAC screen support: now you can click a copy helper button in the eloquence settings category, meaning manual copying is no longer required. (Still from crucio2211 who is on fire)
• Ability to check for updates manually (thanks to crucio2211)
• fixes to voice pitch when switching languages (thanks to eloquence_64 regular titet11)
• correctly sets pitch for voices other than the default (thanks to titet11)
• makes sure pitch never goes out of the range allowed by eloquence (thanks titet11)
• Multiple other fixes to pitch control (thanks titet11)

@fastfinge Some weird stuff is going on in the new Eloquence update. As I updated the Community Dictionary, something I always do after installing each new Eloquence release, I noticed that most of the corrected pronunciations don't work. I checked the Root dictionary, and noticed that it's now a malformed combination of both Community and Alternative dictionaries. So this needs an investigation. Moreover, as I checked for Eloquence updates from the Settings pannel, I get the following error message:
Update manager not found. Please reinstall the add-on.

@amir Uh, do I still have a strange bug, or are the community dictionaries broken? Words like theatre and sake are weird. But Hermione works fine. As does anime. So it's not all words with e. I'm confused! Encoding issues maybe?

@fastfinge Oh! It's a bug in the latest Eloquence release - V10. I manually replaced the dictionaries, and mispronunciations went away. I think it's not a good idea to combine and mix pronunciation dictionaries.

@amir I'm trying to avoid overwriting other people's customizations, is the thing. If you add a word yourself, it should stay, and not get replaced. And the bug happens even when all dictionaries are deleted. It's something about how I download the file.

@fastfinge Yeah right. The thing is that I couldn't even find theatre in the Community Dictionary.

@fastfinge Believe me it's not! We have metatheatre, metatheatres, teletheatre, and teletheatres.

@amir The hell? Why is it getting something different, then? I have no other dictionary files, so nothing is getting mixed. It downloads the zip file directly from github. Where on earth is this coming from?
