Release Notes for 1.6
"""""""""""""""""""""
This is a major release. HAudio has been rewritten and a new AIOmodule added to provide support for simultaneous speech out and audioin. Linux audio has been switched from OSS to ALSA.
A synthesis interface called ASyn has been added and Alan Black'sflite synthesis software has been integrated in order to provide "outof the box" speech output.
Support for N-best output has been implemented.
A simple data logging module has been added.
Support for building HTKTools with the ATK libaries has been droppedsince it provides no extra functionality and adds unnecessarycomplexity. Hence, the ATK directive is no longer required and oneversion of the HTKLib library is needed (but note that this is NOTcompatable with the version of HTKLib in the standard HTK distribution).
