> dear Praat users,
>
> the new version 4.1 is available. As most of you will know, > Praat can nowadays be downloaded freely from www.praat.org.
>
> There have been several big changes since 4.0, which was > released in October 2001:
>
> 1. There is an edition for MacOS X. This is preferred over the > classical Macintosh editions, which were not capable of using > all of the memory in your computer. Scripting geeks may like to > know that they can use Unix commands and Unix-style path names.
>
> 2. Speech pathology: fully documented jitter, shimmer, and > voice break measurements, directly available in the Sound > window (and they are much more accurate than in that other > program you have been using). The Voice tutorial overrides the > discussions that you may have seen on the Praat Discussion List.
>
> 3. Listening experiments: full support for identification and > discrimination experiments, portable across platforms! Read the > Experiment tutorial.
>
> 4. Spectral slices become visible in the Sound window with a > single mouse click (or Command-S).
>
> 5. Graphics: improved spectrograms on PostScript printers > (explicit interpolation; no stripes anymore).
>
> 6. Manual: a rewritten Intro, which is the main tutorial. > Manual searches are case-insensitive now.
>
> 7. Scripting: many more possibilities to look directly into > objects, and to use variables in formulas. Also the "include" > statement, and functions to look up information in long > strings. Note: if you use the sendpraat subroutine in your own > C program, download a new version if you use Windows 2000 or XP.
>
> 8. Optimality-Theoretic learning: interpretive parsing and > learning from overt forms.
>
> 9. David's gender changer.
>
> 10. And lots of smaller improvements.
>
> Best wishes,
> Paul
