0.9.0 release candidate 1

[Alex ARNAUD]

Thanks the fix you've made since RC1, do you plan to release an RC2?

For example I assume regular user would accept to test the RC2, not the 
RC1 because of bugs.

Thanks in advance Samuel.

Best regards,
Alex.

> * What is Speech Dispatcher?
> 
>    Speech Dispatcher is a device independent layer for speech
>    synthesis, developed with the goal of making the usage of speech
>    synthesis easier for application programmers. It takes care of most
>    of the tasks necessary to solve in speech enabled applications. What
>    is a very high level GUI library to graphics, Speech Dispatcher is
>    to speech synthesis.
> 
>    Key Speech Dispatcher features are:
> 
>    - Message priority model that allows multiple simultaneous
>      connections to Speech Dispatcher from one or more clients
>      and tries to provide the user with the most important messages.
> 
>    - Different output modules that talk to different synthesizers so
>      that the programmer doesn't need to care which particular
>      synthesizer is being used. Currently Festival, Flite, Epos, Espeak
>      and (non-free) Dectalk software, IBM TTS, Pico and others are
>      supported. Festival is an advanced Free Software synthesizer
>      supporting various languages. Espeak is a very fast multi-lingual
>      Free Software synthesizer.
> 
>    - Simple interface for programs written in C, C++ provided through a
>      shared library. Python, Common Lisp and Guile interfaces. An Elisp
>      and Java libraries are developed as sperate projects speechd-el
>      and speechd-java. Possibly an interface to any other language can
>      be developed.
