Read Text 0.8.94
================

## All

- The extension fixes an error where the extension could not use an extension configuration file when using a recent version of the application.
- The extension falls back to the default settings without user intervention
when the scripting environment raises an error when reading text aloud.
- Edit default URLs in `.po` files.
- The `en-US` regional `.po` file now only includes text strings that are
different than the default English strings, making it easier to manage.

## Linux

- Speech synthesizer containers can now use Podman or Docker with essentially
the same command, only differing in the program name. You can install and
set preferences using a single command in a terminal.
- Update the currently supported container-powered local speech servers using
the `(NETWORK_READ_TEXT_PY)` option in the extension main menu.
- Fix how the [mimic3][1] reads capitalized sentences and titles aloud.
