+
+
+### Features
+
+* Migrate to @untemps/vocal 2.x functional API ([#146](https://github.com/untemps/react-vocal/issues/146)) ([582575f](https://github.com/untemps/react-vocal/commit/582575f391472e0e95b0c793b57c7c3edca71939))
+
+
+### BREAKING CHANGES
+
+* `isSupported` is now a function instead of a boolean snapshot. Consumers must call it as `isSupported()`.
+Migration:
+   // before
+   import { isSupported } from '@untemps/react-vocal'
+   if (isSupported) { ... }
+   // after
+   import { isSupported } from '@untemps/react-vocal'
+   if (isSupported()) { ... }
+The function form is SSR-safe — it returns `false` when `window` is undefined, so consumers no longer need a manual `typeof window` guard before checking support.
+* UMD bundle is no longer published.
+`dist/index.umd.js` is removed from the release artifacts and from the npm tarball. Consumers loading react-vocal via `<script src="…/dist/index.umd.js">` or an AMD loader must migrate to the ES bundle (`dist/index.es.js`) via a module-aware loader (or use a bundler). The CJS bundle (`dist/index.js`) remains available for Node-style require().

 Some browsers supports the `SpeechRecognition` API but not all the related APIs.  
 For example, browsers on iOS 14.5, the `SpeechGrammar` and `SpeechGrammarList` and `Permissions` APIs are not supported.
 
-Although the lack of `SpeechGrammar` and `SpeechGrammarList` is handled by the underlaying `@untemps/vocal` library, you need to deal with `Permissions` by yourself.

+
+#### Cancelling a start in flight
+
+Both `<Vocal signal={...}>` and `useVocal().start({ signal })` accept an `AbortSignal`. Aborting the controller while the browser is still resolving microphone permission cancels the start cleanly — no `start` event is dispatched.
+
+```javascript
+const controller = new AbortController()
+
+// Cancel pending recognition after 2s of waiting for permission
+setTimeout(() => controller.abort(), 2000)
+
+const [, { start }] = useVocal('en-US')
+start({ signal: controller.signal })
+```
 
 ### Browser support flag
 
 #### Basic usage
 
+`isSupported` is a function that returns `true` when the browser supports the Web Speech API (along with the Permissions and MediaDevices APIs that `@untemps/vocal` relies on). It is safe to call during server-side rendering — it returns `false` when `window` is undefined.
+
 ```javascript
 import Vocal, { isSupported } from '@untemps/react-vocal'
 
 const App = () => {
-	return isSupported ? <Vocal /> : <p>Your browser does not support Web Speech API</p>
+	return isSupported() ? <Vocal /> : <p>Your browser does not support Web Speech API</p>
 }
 ```
