Thrax 1.2.1 has just been released. Thrax is a toolkit for compiling grammars
expressed as regular expressions and context-dependent rewrite rules into
weighted finite-state transducers. It makes use of functionality in the
OpenFst library to create, access and manipulate compiled grammars. Thrax has
been used to develop grammars for speech recognition and text-to-speech speech
synthesis, automate morphological analysis, and test phonological rule
systems.

New features in version 1.2.1 include additional assertion functions
(AssertEmpty and AssertNull), algorithmic improvements to the Optimize
function, and support for pushdown and multi-pushdown transducers.

Thrax is developed by contributors from Google Research and the Oregon Health
& Science University's Center for Spoken Language Understanding. It is an
open-source project distributed under the Apache license. It can be obtained
from http://thrax.opengrm.org/.
