[Jaak Ristioja]

Hello!

The BibleTime Team is pleased to announce the availability of BibleTime 
3.2.0 release candidate 1. This update includes improvements to 
usability, performance and code.

Key changes:

   * Added basic Text-to-Speech (TTS) for selected text, accessible
     via the context menu and configurable in the Settings. Requires
     the Qt TextToSpeech module and a compatible TTS engine to be
     installed. Can be disabled at build time.
   * Added option to search works open in the active window, now the
     default action for Ctrl+O.
   * Improved dark theme detection.
   * Dropped support for macOS.

Updated build requirements:
   * Minimum Qt version bumped to 6.7 (and must be compiled with ICU
     support).
   * Minimum CMake version bumped to 3.25.
   * pkg-config (or pkgconf) is now required.

Bugfixes:

   * Resolved a critical issue that was causing startup crashes and
     high memory usage when loading legacy configuration file from
     Qt5-based BibleTime versions.
   * Fixed compilation against Sword 1.8.1.
   * Prevent offering to copy when no text is selected.
   * Fixed the saving of states of docking windows.
   * Fixed cross-references always displaying Rev 1:1.
   * Fixed missing module grouping in some module chooser menus.
   * Fixed "change location" shortcut not working when the target
     widget is already focused.
   * Cleared a number of debug warnings.
   * Removed a potential assertion triggered by the "Manage indexes"
     button.
   * Fixed a number of hyperlink click handling issues.
   * Corrected context menu placement in the search results area.
   * Correctly disable history buttons at initialization.
   * Ensure the initial location is included in the history list.
