>>>> Version 2.2, March 2006
>>>>
>>>> * Adds additional levels of navigation for Digital talking

>>>> * Eliminates the restrictions on the size of audio files you may

>>>> * Raises the maximum flash card size from 2 GB to 4 GB.
>>>> * Increases the maximum text file size from 4 MB to 16 MB.
>>>> * Adds alarm capabilities.
>>>> * Adds the Next Alarm and Back Alarm commands to move from alarm
>>>> to alarm.
>>>> * Adds the Enable Alarms option to the Settings menu.
>>>> * Adds the Disable Alarm command.
>>>> * Adds the Delete Alarm command.
>>>> * Adds the Swap File command.
>>>> * Adds the Move File command to move a file from one folder to
>>>> another.
>>>> * Returns the name of the file to the information you get with
>>>> the Statistics command.
>>>> * Enhances the feedback for the Spell Word command. Now, the
>>>> unit announces punctuation and capitalization as it spells the word.
>>>> * Changes the behavior of the Send Text as Line Oriented
>>>> control, so when this box is checked, Book Port Transfer no longer
>>>> places sentence marks at sentence breaks.
>>>> * No longer uses mp3 id3 tags as the title of the file.
>>>> * Changes the bahavior of the Read key. Now, reading resumes at
>>>> the word on which you stopped. Previous versions always started back
>>>> at
>>>> the beginning of the sentence.
>>>> * Adds support for high-bit fraction symbols.
>>>> * Corrects the problem of the reading pointer falling behind
>>>> when you stop. This is a function within the software, so you will
>>>> need
>>>> to resend any file that exhibits his behavior.
>>>> * Corrects the problem where the manual did not get updated on
>>>> the unit if the user required a full install.
>>>> * Corrects the problem where new beta testers could not
>>>> participate in the beta test process.
>>>> * Adds support for Daisy books with multiple skipped pages.
>>>> * Corrects some problems with the "Go To Page" command on some
>>>> Daisy books.
>>>> * Removes the Fix File System errors button from the software
>>>> and stops checking on firmware updates. (This function does not work
>>>> with fat32 file systems.)
>>>> * Adds the Program Temporary Folder control that lets you
>>>> specify where temporary files get stored.
>>>> * Increases the speed at which mp3 files get encoded.
>>>> * Corrects the problem of having a note with a blank line as the
>>>> first line of the file.
>>>> * Added the ability to set bookmarks in unindexed audio files.
>>>> The resolution is one second, so if you try to set a bookmark within
>>>> one
>>>> second of an existing bookmark, the command will actually clear the
>>>> existing bookmark.
>>>> * Alters the way the folder name is announced when attempting to
>>>> read files in an empty folder. Before, the unit provided the short
>>>> name
>>>> and the entire path, now, the firmware announces only the name of the
>>>> empty folder.
>>>> * Provides extended statistics on a file when the user presses
>>>> the 8 key regardless of whether the file had been played or not. This
>>>> corrects a longstanding issue that required you to have pressed the
>>>> play
>>>> key at least once before you could obtain statistics.
>>>> * Changes the beeps to spoken announcements when the user sets
>>>> or clears a bookmark.
>>>> * Adds the command "Announce Elapsed Time." This is accessed
>>>> with the 5 key in both idle and reading mode for audio files.
>>>> * Changes the behavior of the To and From Notes Command. Now,
>>>> you do not need to close the note before issueing the command.
>>>> * Adds the Lock and Unlock command while in the notetaker.
>>>> * Announces the folder's name when the folder is empty.
>>>> * Adds the Power move commands to unindexed mp3 files.
>>>> * Adds the announcement of elapsed time in status for unindexed
>>>> mp3 files.
>>>> * Bug fix: If the user tries to lock a file in an empty folder,
>>>> the unit doesn't say that there are no files to lock.
>>>> * Bug fix: unindexed mp3 files were improperly locked.
