As AllStarLink v3 continues to grow and improve, we're pleased to announce updates and new software packages.

### ASL3 Text-to-Speech 1.0

Introduction of the package asl3-tts and the `asl-tts` command. This is a convenience wrapper around the Piper Text-to-Speech library to work well with asterisk. Documentation is forthcoming for the [ASL Manual's Text to Speech Page](https://allstarlink.github.io/adv-topics/tts/).

This is currently not installed with the Pi Appliance by default. It may be installed with `sudo apt install asl3-tts` on any supported platform.

### ASL3 v3.4.0

- Adds a PolicyKit ruleset to permit the `asterisk` user to issue host shutdown and restart commands as well as systemd service actions against the `asterisk.service` and `allmon3.service` systemd units (i.e. stop, start, restart, reload). This is more fully explained in the [ASL3 Manual's Permissions Section](https://allstarlink.github.io/adv-topics/permissions/#managing-services-and-os-shutdownsreboots)

### ASL3-Update-Nodelist 1.5.1

- Removes extraneous "success" logging which is pointless and causes a ton of systemd journal rolls on pi appliances. The logging has no real point and reduces the output to the journal by 75%.

Sincerely,  
AllStarLink
