It includes a number of loadable modules, providing support of various
dictionary formats and search strategies, as well as a console client
program.

Please see below for a list of changes in this release.

[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact.  First, be sure to download both the .sig file
and the corresponding tarball.  Then, run a command like this:

  gpg --verify dico-2.8.tar.gz.sig

If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
then run this command to import it:

  gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 3602B07F55D0C732

and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.

Noteworthy changes in this release:

* Fix out-of-boundary memory access in metaphone2 encoder

* Fix eventual access to freed memory block

* Rewrite utf8_iterator to work with non zero-terminated strings.

* Fix the build on OpenBSD

Sergey
