Full Release Notes

# RealtimeTTS v0.5.3 Release Notes

**Enhancements & Changes:**
- **Silence Control**: Moved silence‑insertion out of CoquiEngine into `TextToAudioStream`; introduced configurable `comma`, `sentence`, and `default` silence durations in play- and play-async methods.  
- **KokoroEngine**: Uses KokoroVoice now. #303 (thank you)
- **OrpheusEngine**: Lets you pick model now and has improved stop‑on‑demand checks.  
- **More Thread‑Safe Pipes (?)**: Added `SafePipe` for what I hope is more reliable inter‑process comm in CoquiEngine (needs to be tested more).
