No problem. I've not given the link in a few simple reasons:
1) Not so more people from this forum are reading technical ePubs at that moment, and for all others - it is not actual. If people ask me - I'll give them a link to current stage to download.
2) I have fixed not all bugs - so, it is in a hard stage of my change and link given at today morning can be old at today evening.
3) My version do not have TTS, and people who need it - do not need my version. Situation with your question become strange, and looks as follows: PocketBook asks free developers to post their fixes to PB's software, but do NOT gives them the new SDK to make that work convenient. At now - I need to reverse-engineer the current firmware to learn that TTS API. And that may take a long time. Even this version is achieved through the thorns of extra work that is not needed in normal situation (where PB gives to all the new SDK).
4) PocketBook is a commercial firm. Do you think that is ethically to sell to me unfinished device for 500$ and then to ask me to fix it FOR FREE to firm could sell them more? It is not so difficult for me to fix it, but somehow this is not correct from ethical point of view...

Tell it please to PocketBook top managers. PB have NOT published the
current sources of "
open source" FBReader installed in 2.0.4. And in this situation PB has no moral right to demand from me the source code of the
old version that I've fixed at home (with lack of SDK that PB has not published too). At first, PB, publish please anything that should be published. And we go next with pleasure...
