A pre-release snapshot of the next stable version of Aspell is now available
at:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/aspell-0.60.8-20190817.tar.gz
This snapshot fixes an buffer over-read as already announced. Unfortunately
it has the potential to break some applications. See the manual for more
info.
Changes so far (from Aspell 0.60.7):
* Add Markdown filter.
* When typo analysis is used, ensure that possible typos are listed
before other suggestions. Also fix a bug so that suggestions that
split a word using a space or hyphen are not always first.
* Change ‘ultra’ suggestion mode to only find words that are within
one-edit distance or have the same soundslike.
* To prevent a potentially unbounded buffer over-read Aspell no
longer supports null-terminated UCS-2 and UCS-4 encoded strings
with the original C API.
* Fix a bug in ‘AspellDocumentChecker’ that prevented it from working
with UCS-2 and UCS-4 encoded strings.
* Implement ‘aspell filter’ command.
* Remove unused ‘sug-edit-dist’ option.
* In order to work with the new Markdown filter
‘AspellDocumentChecker’ now expects the document a line at a time.
If the document is split on white space characters instead, nothing
will break, but new filters such as the Markdown filter may give
incorrect results.
* Fix various crashes and other problems found by Google’s OSS-Fuzz.
Major additional changes planned before Aspell 0.60.8
* Expose suggestion scores: https://github.com/GNUAspell/aspell/pull/567
* Provide support for "wordlists" option:
https://github.com/GNUAspell/aspell/pull/564
This snapshot was created due to the buffer over-read found in Aspell.
Additional snapshots may be made available at ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/
on an as needed bases and likely to only be announced on the aspell-devel
list.
I plan to release Aspell 0.60.8 within a month.
