Mob 0.9.22 released!

Mob 0.9.22 has been released.

Added

• Mob.Speech.voices/0: the text-to-speech voices installed on the
  device, as {:ok, [%{id, name, language, quality, network}]} sorted by
  language, then best quality, then name, on-device before network (iOS
  AVSpeechSynthesisVoice.speechVoices, Android TextToSpeech.getVoices,
  leaving out voices whose data isn’t downloaded). quality is
  :very_low | :low | :normal | :high | :very_high on both platforms. It
  blocks the caller (on Android until the engine starts, at most 5 s) and
  returns {:error, :unavailable} when the engine didn’t start or
  {:error, :unsupported} off device or on an older native build or bridge.
• speak/3’s :voice takes a voice id from voices/0 as well as a
  BCP-47 language tag. An exact id match wins; otherwise it’s a language tag;
  a value that’s neither speaks with the system default voice.
• End-of-speech events (part of MOB-453). The process that called
  speak/3 gets {:speech, :done} when its utterance finishes,
  {:speech, :cancelled} when stop_speaking/1 interrupts it, and on Android
  {:speech, :failed} when the engine can’t speak it.
• Upgrading: the iOS half is in ios/mob_nif.m and the Android NIF in
  android/jni/mob_nif.zig, so rebuild natively (mix mob.deploy --native).
  Android also needs the MobBridge.kt text-to-speech block from mob_new
  0.6.14 (ttsSpeakFor, ttsVoices, the reworked ttsSpeak/ttsStop, and
  the ttsAppContext line in MobBridge.init; mob_new’s CHANGELOG has the
  steps) and
  an android.intent.action.TTS_SERVICE entry in the manifest’s <queries>;
  without that entry, API 30+ hides the TTS engine from the app. With an
  older bridge, voices/0 returns {:error, :unsupported} and speak/3
  still speaks, with :voice as a language tag only and no events.

Changed

• Android: :rate, :pitch and :voice apply to one utterance, as on
  iOS (with mob_new 0.6.14’s bridge). TextToSpeech kept them between calls,
  so a speak/3 without :voice used whatever voice the previous call chose.
  Options left out now use the user’s text-to-speech settings.

Documentation

• :scroll’s axis prop is in the components guide (#212). Horizontal
  scrolling worked on both platforms but the :scroll reference called it a
  vertical container and left axis (and show_indicator) out of its prop
  table. The table now lists them, with an example and which props are
  vertical-only; the guides use the string form "horizontal" throughout.
