6.2.13 (18 May 2022)

6.2.06 (20 January 2022)

6.2.05 (5 January 2022)

•  Calling Praat from the command line: the switch --send sends a script to a different already running GUI instance of Praat; this is more flexible than using sendpraat, because --send will start a new instance of Praat if Praat is not yet running.

•  Praat now includes eSpeak 1.51, raising the number of supported languages from 100 to 130.
•  Scripting: support for infile, outfile and folder fields in forms.
•  Calling Praat from the command line: the switch --open now adds files to an already running instance of Praat; this was already the case on Windows, but it now works in the same way on the Mac and on Linux.
•  Scripting on Mac: multiline text fields in forms have scroll bars and behave like other fields.

6.2.03 (3 December 2021)

•  Mac: made Enter key work as expected (i.e. character selection) on Japanese keyboards in multi-line text fields in dialogs and TextGrid window.
