1.0.39
2020-06-27
New in this release:
* Fixes crash when running on early WatchOS 7 Betas
* Once you've launched this new version you should see "Authenticating..." less frequently, since the app attempts to refresh authentication with Amazon in the background. This will especially be the case if the app is set as a complication since it will be given more background processing time
* Audio feedback from routines should now play properly.
* The minimum iOS and WatchOS versions have been changed to 13 and 6 respectively

1. You can now choose the icon used for the watch complication (just two options for now) under Settings on the watch app;
2. Support for Airpods Pro;
3. The voice language is set automatically based on device language (you can change it under Settings);
4. The watch app size has been halved, hopefully reducing installation issues;
5. Portugese, Spanish and Italian and more added. Please let me know if any of the translations are wrong;
6. There is now an option to display captions as Alexa speaks. You may need to logout and log back in again for these changes to work.
For those of you that like the nitty gritty details, in technical terms I've implemented/updated the following Alexa Voice Service interfaces: Alexa 3.0, Alexa.APIGateway 2.0, Alexa.Discovery 3.0 and updated to SpeechRecognizer 2.3, SpeechSynthesizer 1.3, System 2.0 and InteractionModel 1.2
1.0.30
2019-09-27
1. iOS 13 and WatchOS 6 bug fixes;
2. If you use VoiceOver a start and stop sound is played when the microphone starts and stops listening. I am very keen to get feedback from the visually impaired;
3. You can now disable auto-rotation of the watch screen when the app is waiting for Amazon's servers to reply. Doing so will have the side-effect of stopping the app when the screen goes blank if you tilt your watch away;
4. Silence-detection settings are now preserved on the watch;
5. You now have the option to start listening on launch on the iPhone;
6. The OK button when changing languages on the watch is now visible on smaller watches.

* If you permit location access then the time, weather and other location-specific information should be based on your current location.

1.0.19
2018-06-08
* Improved performance: you will no longer have to wait for "synchronizing";
* Silence-detection on the watch: you should generally not need to tap the button when you've finished speaking;
* Visual feedback (templates) are displayed in response to some questions ("How deep is the ocean");
* In-app volume control (swipe over two pages from the main page).
