 # Changelog
 
+## [7.12.0](https://github.com/deepgram/deepgram-python-sdk/compare/v7.11.0...v7.12.0) (2026-10-01)
+
+
+### Features
+
+* **Speak v2 (Flux TTS):** Add inline pause markers for batch requests and IPA pronunciation overrides for Flux batch, Flux WebSocket, and Aura-2 requests. Pronunciation is Early Access; pause markers are Flux batch-only. See [Speed, Pause, Pronunciation](https://developers.deepgram.com/docs/tts-voice-controls). ([#797](https://github.com/deepgram/deepgram-python-sdk/issues/797)) ([d2b5514](https://github.com/deepgram/deepgram-python-sdk/commit/d2b5514eab37761332fcebed75ced20e54088337))
+* **TextBuilder:** Emit the Flux marker syntax the API accepts: pauses as `\{pause:500ms\}` and pronunciations as `\{"word": "...", "pronounce": "<IPA>"\}`. The 7.11.0 markers (`{pause:500}` and the unescaped pronunciation form) are rejected by `/v2/speak` with `BREAK_SYNTAX_INVALID` or ignored, so upgrade to use TextBuilder with Flux TTS. Limits now match Flux batch: pauses 500-3000 ms in 100 ms steps (was 500-5000) and at most 8 per request (was 50). `pause()`, `from_ssml()`, and `build()` raise `ValueError` for out-of-range or off-grid durations (previously rounded), for malformed markers, and for pause-plus-pronunciation combinations, instead of sending a request the API would reject.
+* **Listen v2 (Flux):** Add typed `Warning` responses while preserving dict-style response access during the 7.x transition.
+
+### Compatibility
+
+* **Topics and Intents:** `SharedTopics` and `SharedIntents` now type the direct `segments` response shape returned by the API. Deprecated `results` facades, legacy import paths, and legacy construction remain available in v7.
