I urge you to remember that Rockbox is a piece of software that is in-development. What you are downloading are development snapshots, not "versions" of a released software. The change that has come by surprise has been in discussion and development for a very considerable period of time. If you wish to continue using your current voice file, simply do not update to a newer development snapshot until a new system for making voice files is ready. These hazards come with using unreleased software, and can be avoided by keeping track of the development status. Being a "user" list, development issues don't really belong here. All a warning would do would say "When this feature is done, you will need to change to a new voice creation method" but as we cannot predict when a feature will be finished, the warning could've been six months or a year early. Isn't it then better for those interested to simply keep track of the project status, and keep this list as a user/support list, and the development list as the development list? If we'd posted when this feature was began, it would've showed up on this list I believe nearly a year and a half ago (if not further). It would've done no practical good. Meanwhile, the impending completion of this feature was discussed on the Development list.
