What's New in Julius-3.5?
==========================

Julius/Julian rev.3.5 is a major update that incorporates several new
functions that may be useful for realizing a speech interface.
Memory efficiency is also improved.  Another big progress to system
developers is that the comments in source codes are fully re-written
to be able to cross-reference in HTML format.  

Summary of changes in 3.5:

  - New features
     - Input verification / rejection concurrently with recognition process
       based on one-state GMM scores
     - Word graph output
     - Arbitrary character set conversion for tty/module output
     - Improved multi grammar support on Julian
     - EsounD audio server support on Linux
     - Linux and Windows version have been integrated into one source
     - Multi-path version has been integrated to the original.
       (can use by "--enable-multipath" at compilation time)
     - Migrated from VC++ to minGW on Windows
  - Improved memory size
     - Remove redundant part of tree lexicon and beam work area for 1st pass.
     - Compaction of word N-gram index (reduced from 32 bit to 24 bit).
     - New N-gram binary format (can still read old binary).
  - Many bug fixes
     - Spectral subtraction now works.
     - Fixed newline code problems in Win&Mac (grammar files and -filelist).
     - Fix USB audio input in Linux.
     - Many other fixes.
  - Documentation
     - Doxygen support (you can generate full source documents in English!)
     - Remove old Japanese documents in doc.


All the changes are listed in "Release.txt".

From rev.3.4, a grammar-based recognizer called "Julian" is also
included.  the Julian can be compiled from Julius sources by
specifying configure option "--enable-julian".  The grammar format
Julian uses is original one based on BNF.  A grammar compiler that
converts the written BNF to finite state grammar, and several test
tools are included in this archive.
