I have just released another pre Aspell 0.51 snapshot, version
0.51-20040227. This snapshot has lots of small changes. Some of the more
significant ones:
* Bug fixes in UTF-8 Support.
* Compile fixes
* Lots of code cleanups.
Other changes from Aspell 0.50:
* Added support for loadable filters thanks to Christoph Hintermüller
* Enhanced TEX filter to support recognizing accent commands, such as
the German umlaute, and to treat words with hyphenation characters
in them as one word, also thanks to Christoph Hintermüller
* Added gettext support thanks to Sergey Poznyakoff
* Reworked how the dictionary is stored to take up less space (around
80% for the English language) and be faster in some cases.
* Reworked the build system so that a single Makefile is used for
most of the code.
* Support for Affix Compression. Affix compression stores the root
word and then a list of prefixes and suffixes that the word can
take, and thus saves a lot of space. The codebase comes from
MySpell found in OpenOffice. It uses the same affix file
OpenOffice (and Mozilla) use. However, affix compression is
currently incompatible with sounds like look up which means that
the suggestion quality will suffer.
* Added support for MySpell Replacement Tables for better suggestions
when phonet information is not available.
* Added support for accepting all input and printing all output in
UTF-8 or some other encoding different from the one Aspell uses.
Aspell can now support any language that no more than 220 distinct
characters, including different capitalizations and accents, _even_
if there is not an existing 8-bit encoding that supports the language.
* Manual has has been converted to texinfo format thanks to the work
of Chris Martin.
