v5.2.0

This release adds TextToSpeech and Cross-Encoder pipelines. The performance of the embeddings.batchtransform method was significantly improved, enabling a speed up in building semantic graphs. Default configuration is now available for Embeddings, allowing an Embeddings instance to be created with no arguments like Pipelines.

See below for full details on the new features, improvements and bug fixes.
