A new Aspell snapshot is now available:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/aspell-0.60-20040515.tar.gz
Changes in this release:
* Enhanced-typo analysis so it will work better with other
languages.
* Added support for properly merging affix info for duplicate words.
* Other minor enhancements.
Changes in the 20040511 release:
* Reworked the suggestion code so that:
* It is now possible to use soundslike lookup with affix compression
by only storing the soundslike of the root word.
* It is significantly faster when dealing with short words.
* Supports n-gram lookup.
* Provides basic support for suggesting misspellings for
compound words.
* Reworked the dictionary format (yet again). Creating dictionaries
is now several times faster.
* Removed support for stripping accents. Because of this
THE ASPELL 0.50 ENGLISH DICTIONARY PACKAGE WILL NO LONGER WORK. YOU
NEED TO DOWNLOAD A NEW ONE FROM
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/en/
* Removed or renamed some other dictionary options. Because of this
the Hebrew (he), Hungarian (hu) and Lithuanian (lt) will need to
be updated. You can find the latest ones at
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/
* Rewritten SGML filter thanks to Tom Snyder. It now supports
skipping SGML tags such as "script".
Major Changes in the 20030424 release:
* New utility, prezip, which is a rewrite of word-list-compress.
Major Changes in the 20040413 release:
* Unicode Normalization is now supported as described in
http://aspell.net/devel-doc/man/Unicode-Normalization.html
* Language names can now include a '_' so that the country
code may be included when it is appropriate.
Important changes that were introduces in the 20040402 snapshot:
* The format and name of the character set data file changed again.
The extension changed from .dat to .cset. The format and name
should be stable now.
Important changes that were introduced with the 20040317 snapshot:
1) I decided to name the next Aspell version 0.60 since almost every
part of Aspell has been refactored or rewritten to some extent.
2) Dictionaries and data files are now installed in LIBDIR/aspell-0.60
so that Aspell 0.50 and 0.60 can more peacefully coexist.
A new language package is also available:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/aspell-lang-20040515.tar.bz2.sig
This one included an enhanced mkchardata to make customizing the character
data file easier.
