v3.0.0

Changed

• Pronunciation generation for lexicon now better supports local mode (using the g2p_en package), which is now also the default mode. It is also preferred over the online mode (using CMU's web service), which is now disabled by default. See the Setup section of the README for details. The new models now include the data files for g2p_en.
• PlainDictation output now discards any silence words from transcript.
• lattice_beam default value reduced from 6.0 to 5.0, to hopefully avoid occasional errors.
• Removed deprecated CLI binaries from build for linux/mac.

Fixed

• Whitespace in the model path is once again handled properly (thanks @matthewmcintire).
• NativeWFST.has_path() now handles loops.
• Linux/Mac binaries are now more stripped.

Donations are appreciated to encourage development.
