Up till now, if you included unstressed vowels in your measurements when using FAVE-extract (the default behavior, unless you add the --onlyMeasureStressed flag to your call or config file), schwas were classified as being /ʌ/. Now, CMU transcriptions of AH0 are given their own schwa classification, and are represented as @ in the plt_vclass output.

In addition, Keelan Evanini (@kevanini) has contributed a fix that accounts for smart quotes in transcriptions that get passed to FAVE-align, and has provided a command-line argument to define your path to HTK.
