Lyra version 0.0.2 is now available on GitHub. The main improvement of this version is the open-source release of the sparse_matmul library code, which was co-developed by Google and DeepMind. That means no more pre-compiled “.so” dynamic library binaries and no more restrictions on which toolchain to use, which opens up the door to port Lyra onto different platforms. The full list of features and fixes include:

• Release sparse_matmul library code and remove pre-compiled dynamic library binaries.
• Add support for the Bazel default gcc toolchain on linux, and make this the default instead of the clang toolchain.
• Fix noise bursts at the beginning of output audio files.
• Abstract out UnitFloatToInt16Scalar, UnitFloatToInt16 and Int16ToUnitFloat functions.
• Provide operator<< to unique_ptr<LayerWrapper> to be used with CHECK() macros.
• Fix float distribution compatibility in benchmark_decode_lib.
