m-bain/whisperX v3.7.9

on GitHub

Backport of word-level timestamp fixes from v3.8.4.

Bug Fixes

• Restore timestamps for unalignable characters (39aa9f5): Words containing digits, symbols, or foreign script (e.g. 4,9, £13.60) now get proper timestamps via a wildcard emission column. The previous patch (v3.X.Y) reverted PR #986 which removed wildcard support entirely. Fixes #1372.

Testing

• Add regression test for #1372 (da072d6)
• Add pytest dev dependency and CI test workflow (f9a3f8f)
