This bug-fix only affects BLSTMs that are trained with 'newer' scripts and use the --extra-right-context-final option.  (Before the fix, the option was being used in test but not in training, leading to a mismatch).

This is a solution for creating ASR training data from long recordings with transcription but without segmentation information.

this improves on the best recipes.

This is a fix so the --silence-weighting option will work correctly when decoding online with chain models.  Navneeth tested it on a couple of setups so we believe it works.

[egs,scripts,src] SID and LID tools and scripts: cosmetic improvements, better error-handling, and various minor fixes; results unchanged. (#1543)

[src] Change ConvertStringToReal to be locale-independent (i.e. always-US).  Fixes android issue. (#1513)

The issue was that in Android you can't easily override the phone's locale, so export LC_ALL=C does not really work to enable reading of models if the phone was (e.g.) Brazilian or German.

[src] Fix copy-feats for using the --write-num-frames and --compress true flags at the same time (#1541)

- we auto-detect the 'compute capability' problems (these appear as the 'invalid device function'),
- we also provide guidelines what to try before posting to forum, and which info to send to us,

[build,src,doc] Modify get_version.sh to deal better with whitespace (avoid space in version); minor fixes (#1526)

[src] (minor) Added missing SetZero() to NaturalGradientAffineComponent::Scale() if scale==0.0 (#1522)

this improves speed when using hashes.
