Notable changes include the following:

Significantly reduced CPU loads during key processing for much better performance.

New features with input processing capabilities resulted in much higher CPU demands.  Device input is now processed on dedicated channels allowing for customizable throttling to maximize performance while reducing CPU loads.  A new throttle setting has been added.

Key input processing has been completely overhauled for performance and adds a new timeout feature.

All possible key management settings have been reorganized and tested for adherence to expected behavior.  The UI has also been updated to better display the relationships between settings.

Library synchronization is now easier with a new Access Library viewer.

The new read-only viewer allows you to open an existing library in another read-only window from which you can drag and drop any of its items into the main editor.

External voice control is now supported through plugins.

Plugins can now supply voice recognition commands and handle their operations outside of FoxVox.
