The binaries are currently available for the following Linux distributions:
- Red Hat / CentOS 7 (unimrcp-polly-1.6.4-1.el7.x86_64.rpm)
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (unimrcp-polly_1.6.4-xenial_amd64.deb)

This release allows to select a neural or standard voice engine. The release introduces numerous supplementary features and enhancements to the existing functionality.
The detailed list of changes introduced in this release follows.
New Features
- Added support for a new parameter 'voice-engine', which can be set either to 'standard' or 'neural'. The parameter can be specified globally from the plugin configuration or per synthesis request via the header filed Vendor-Specific-Parameters.
- If the configuration parameter 'use-logging-tag' is set to 'true', the header field Logging-Tag, if specified, is used as a suffix while composing file names of waveforms and SDRs.
Fixed Problems
- Use HTTP proxy settings not only for Polly API but also for STS API requests.
Configuration Parameters
- Added a new attribute 'voice-engine' to the element 'synth-settings'.
- Added a new attribute 'use-logging-tag' to the elements 'waveform-manager' and 'sdr-manager'.
Miscellaneous
- Updated the Usage Guide to reflect the changes introduced in this release.
