-- Added voice mixing, allowing multiple voices to be combined into a single “Mixed Voice”, a feature mentioned by @PulsarFTW in #1. Special thanks to @jborza for making this possible through his contributions in #5.
+- Merge pull request [#7](https://github.com/denizsafak/abogen/pull/7) by [@jborza](https://github.com/jborza) that improves voice preview and documentation.
-- Added profile system to voice mixer, allowing users to create and manage multiple voice profiles.
+- Fixed the issue when a voice is selected, the voice mixer tries to pre-select that voice and ignores existing profiles.
-- Improvements in the voice mixer, mostly for organizing controls and enhancing user experience.
+- Fixed the error while renaming the default "New profile" in the voice mixer.
-- Added icons for flags and genders in the GUI, making it easier to identify different options.
+- Fixed subtitle_combo enabling/disabling when a voice in the voice mixer is selected.
-- Improved the content and chapter extraction process for EPUB files, ensuring better handling of various structures.
+- Prevented using special characters in the profile name to avoid conflicts.
-- Switched to platformdirs for determining the correct desktop path, instead of using old methods.
+- Improved invalid profile handling in the voice mixer.
-- Fixed preview voices was not using GPU acceleration, which was causing performance issues.
-- Improvements in code and documentation.
