[aspell-devel] New Aspell Snapshot and Experiential Dictionaries Now Available

[Kevin Atkinson]

A new Aspell snapshot is now available: 
  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/aspell-0.60-20040402.tar.gz

Major Changes in This release:

  * Lots of bug fixes
  
  * The dictionary format unfortunately changes again due to a number of
    bugs that were discovered

  * 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.

Other 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.

An experimental dictionary packaging system is now available for creating 
Dictionaries for Aspell 0.60.  It should only use it for languages which 
are not well supported by Aspell 0.50 as everything is subject to change.
You can find it at:
  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/aspell-lang-20040402.tar.bz2

With this systems 4 new dictionaries are now available at 
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/:
  
  Bengali (bn)
  Hungarian (hu)
  Lithuanian (lt)
  Tamil (ta)
