Julius/Julian rev.3.5.3 is an update release.  The most outstanding
feature of this release is that some code optimization around acoustic
computation made the recognition process faster up to 1.5 times.
Other improvements has been done for graph precision, usability,
stability and code modurality.  All users using previous versions of
Julius/Julian are encouraged to upgrade to this release.

Summary of changes in 3.5.3:

  o  Recognition speed-up by code optimization for acoustic
     computation and memory allocation.
  o  Support another way of specifying acoustic parameter conditions:
     - can read an HTK Config file directly by "-htkconf".
     - can embed acoustic analysis condition parameters into binary AM.
  o  New grammar-related tools: "dfa_minimize", "dfa_determinize".
     (An HTK-to-Julian automatic grammar convertion tool "slf2dfa" is
      also released)
  o  Other refinements:
     - support generating separate candidates of different phone
       context in word graph output.
     - preliminary support for emulating energy normalization on live input.
  o  Bug fixes and code improvements.

Details of the changes are listed in "Release.txt".

Please note that if you want to compile Julius with DirectSound
support, you need DirectX headers installed in your mingw / cygwin
environment.  If not exist, configure will choose an old interface.
Please see install instruction on the Web.
