This release adds support for lexicon URI optionally set as an attribute to the 'voice' element in SSML. The release also creates a new connection if the service URI differs in subsequent SPEAK requests placed in the scope of the same MRCP session.
New Features
- Pass lexicon as an attribute to the 'voice' element instead of HTTP request header.
- Create a new connection when the service URI differs in subsequent SPEAK requests placed in the scope of the same MRCP session.
Fixed Problems
- Fixed processing of max-file-age, which can optionally be set for waveforms, to properly remove file entries when max-file-age is reached.
Configuration Parameters
- None.
Miscellaneous
- Added the FatimaNeural and HamdanNeural voices for ar-AE to the default configuration file of voices.
- If an HTTP request fails, add both the response code and status string to the log statement.

Thank you for using UniMRCP.
