dico-2.3 released [stable]

[Sergey Poznyakoff]

Hello,

I am pleased to announce the release of GNU Dico version 2.3.

GNU Dico is a modular implementation of DICT server and accompanying
utilities.  The server is able to retrieve articles from various
dictionary database formats and offers a wide range of strategies for
searching.  See <http://www.gnu.org.ua/software/dico>, for details.

This is a stable release.  See the end of this message for the list of
noteworthy changes.

[*] 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-2.3.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 55D0C732

and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.

This release was bootstrapped with the following tools:
  Autoconf 2.69
  Automake 1.14
  Gettext 0.19
  Makeinfo 5.9.93
  Bison 2.5.1
  Flex 2.5.35

New features and fixes in this release:

* IPv6 support

* Guile 2.x support

* New matching strategy: metaphone2

The metaphone2 strategy implements the Double Metaphone phonetic
encoding algorithm.

* Implements info and description for GCIDE dictionary

* Fixed minor bug in the idxgcide tool.

* Added manpages

Kind regards,
Sergey Poznyakoff
