[SRILM-Announce] SRILM 1.5.9 tar file CORRECTED

[Andreas Stolcke]

The SRILM 1.5.9 download was inadvertently pointing to the wrong file 
and in effect returning the 1.5.8 version.  This has been corrected now.
Sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused!

CHANGES in this release:

1.5.9   24 August 2009

        Functionality:

        * Added ngram-count -text-has-weights option to scale counts on a
        per-sentence basis.

        * LMStats::countString() and NgramStats::countSentence() methods
        generalized to take optional weight string argument (to support the
        above change).

        * Added compile-time option to generate position-independent code
        (make MAKE_PIC=yes, see INSTALL file).

        * Added support for xz-compressed files (.xz files offer better
        compression than .gz at the expense of time and memory).
        The xz tool has to be installed separately (http://tukaani.org/xz).

        Bug fixes:

        * wlat-to-pfsg generates NULL output labels for initial/final nodes
        with sentence start/end tags (because PFSGs encode those implicitly).

        * TaggedVocab: check and report if number of tags/words exceeds max.
        Make number of bits allocated for tags/words proportional to
        word size. Parse word/tag strings such that last (not the first)
        slash (/) character is treated as the delimiter.

        * Documented the lattice-tool -ngrams-time-tolerance option that had
        been previously implemented but omitted from the man page.
