[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] vgergo:
Major new version 2.00 in production

+full screen gesture: down swipe = pause + option buttons (mutes voice when buttons already shown)

+full screen gesture: up swipe = dismisses notification (clears it from the notification bar)

+button on full screen: reply = voice input answer (for messaging notifications)

+menu item: "Select messaging apps" = mark apps with reply capability

+menu item: "Auto show reply button" = automatically show buttons for messaging notifications

+menu item: "Voice prompt after messages" = voice prompt to reply for messaging notifications

+menu item: "Messaging apps use 2nd language" = inhibit identifier based language check for messaging notifications (for languages with English characters)

+menu item: "Prompt to unmute" = show unmute button on full screen if volume muted

+intent command button:0/i/s/2 = auto show buttons for messaging notifications

+intent command prompt:0/i/s/2 = voice prompt to reply for messaging notifications

+intent command show:0/i/s/2/w (to control fullscreen notifications)

+colorful tour wizard for first time users

+notification listener crash recovery (after Play Store update and otherwise if something goes wrong, no need to reboot to get it back)

+0-20sec delay for app notification sounds before single announcements (it will now mute the music only before it starts to talk - only when displaying the full screen notification.)

+"hot" messaging app status: 5min special treatment for app which you replied to

+foldable menu groups (with preview icons!) in advanced view => hopefully easier to navigate

+new quick action toggle in the persistent notification of the app (we used to have a "Settings" button in the center position, but it just had the same effect as tapping the notification itself) More info on this at http://notifications.dataglobe.eu/index.html#notification

~look of settings menu: sections headings are more emphasized, margins reduced to show more

~menu item: "Select secondary language" (choose locale from list of available locales instead of typing their codes)

~menu icons: Active voice commmands, Black list, Say each once, Identifier characters, Email dev

~menu text: Device andministrator, Secondary langauge, Enable swipe gestures

~full screen help drawing: to include new gestures

~default setting: Full screen notifications = "Always display + wake phone"

~default setting: Automatic summary = (wired + bluetooth) + car dock + desk dock

~default setting: Amount of detail shown = Expanded content shortened

~default setting: Pre-announcement delay = Wake to show notification

~menu category headings slightly changed wording: "WHEN to start the read-out", "WHAT to include in the read-out", "HOW to read them out", "VOICE I/O (Messaging & Language)"

~TTS engine and speech rate moved from "HOW" to "VOICE I/O"

~Device administrator setting moved from top of the advanced menu to the very bottom in the "FEEDBACK" section

(logic: most of my feedback is from infuriated people who can't uninstall the app, maybe here they will notice the reminder)

~Some menu items changed wording: "Start summary when connected to"

~New option under "Immediate read-out": "Always + show always"

~Notifications will wake the device if either the pre-announcement delay is set to "wake" OR the full-screen notifications are set to wake device (it used to be AND condition)

~the "car" intent (tasker) command now handles all 4 options: n/h/a/f﻿

*handle exception for non-bitmapDrawable icons

*strange "Page Buddy" notification fixed (and similar others)

*summary sort order didn't work, nobody noticed

*proximity sensor turned off on user interaction

*queued single announcements when they wake up the screen

*if auto voice prompt was enabled (pulling down and) pressing the mic button prompted to send empty message

*notification listener watchdog improved

*switching between basic/advanced mode used to start a new instance of application, fixed (and this lead to...)

- notification listener menu item removed (the app automatically prompts you to access it) This was the first removal in the life of the app ;)
