4.\tIntroducing each board, the vulnerability, and the dealer.
5.\tGiving a brief description of your hand and dummy’s.

Version 6.8 (4th Mar 2024)
•\tCache of out-of-date elements cleared on logoff so now possible to log back in without refreshing the browser page.
Version 6.7 (14th Feb 2024)
•\tRequired updated since BBO changed so some elements are not available until after the user logs into BBO.
Version 6.6 (6th Sept 2023)
•\tReading out of the cards in a suit slowed down.
Version 6.5 (14th July 2023)
•\tBoard described again if player re-joins a board.
•\tFixed bug which left the microphone active if no speech for 9 seconds
Version 6.4 (22nd Jun 2023)
•\tVoice command 'Auction' corrected to report 3 passes if you're in the pass-out seat.
•\tCut and Paste commands will not be beeped; similar for other standard keys.
•\tCan no longer used Ctrl+F5 to hear dummy's spades prior to start of the board.
•\tVoice commands to play cards patched so suit isn’t always required.
