Appendix C ChangeLog
Changes from 0.60.7 to 0.68.8 (October 7, 2019)
* Prevent a potentially unbounded buffer over-read by no longer
supporting null-terminated UCS-2 and UCS-4 encoded strings with the
original C API. See Upgrading from Aspell 0.60.7.
* Ensure that possible typos are listed before other suggestions when
typo analysis is used. Also fix a bug so that suggestions that
split a word using a space or hyphen are not always first.
* Add Markdown filter.
* Add new wordlists option, which is a list of UTF-8 files that
contain additional words to accept.
* Add new camel-case option, which enables support for checking
camelCase words.
* Sort personal and replacement dictionaries.
* Change ultra suggestion mode to only find words that are within
one-edit distance or have the same soundslike.
* Implement the aspell filter command.
* Fix a bug in AspellDocumentChecker that prevented it from working
with UCS-2 and UCS-4 encoded strings.
* Remove unused sug-edit-dist option.
* AspellDocumentChecker now expects the document a line at a time in
order to work with the new Markdown filter. 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.
* The clean option and command will no longer split a word.
* Various documentation improvements.
* Removal of several outdated appendices that don’t really belong in
the main manual. Parts that are still relevent may eventually be
moved elsewhere, but for now they are available online at
http://aspell.net/0.60.7/man-html/.
* Fix various crashes and other problems found by Google’s OSS-Fuzz.
Changes from 0.60.6.1 to 0.60.7 (July 29, 2019)
* Add partial support for recognizing the Unicode apostrophe (’) in
words. In particular Aspell will accept the Unicode apostrophe when
the language uses an ISO Latin charset that doesn’t already have a
Unicode apostrophe. For now, Aspell will still use the ASCII
version in suggestions.
* Detect when a dictionary compiled on a 32-bit machine is used on a
64-bit one (and vise versa), as due to an oversight, compiled
dictionaries depend on more than the endianness. Also added a
compile time option to remove this dependency, but at the cost of
breaking compatibility with already compiled dictionaries on 64-bit
systems.
* Fix a bug which caused Aspell to crash when passing in a null
string to almost any of the C API functions. This should not happen
if the size is also zero as the pointer should never be
derefrenced.
* Fix a bug that caused Aspell to crash with a SEGFAULT when built
with mingw-w64.
* In addition to outputting a warning when building with NDEBUG
defined, also include NDEBUG in the version string.
* Various compile fixes for newer version of Gcc and Clang.
* Fix VPATH builds.
* Use utf-8 encoding for manual instead of iso-8859-1.
* Other minor updates and bug fixes.
Changes from 0.60.6 to 0.60.6.1 (July 4, 2011)
* Update to Automake 1.10.3
* Fix a bug which caused a race condition (leading to a likely crash)
when two threads try to update the dictionary cache at the same
time.
* Make it very clear that compiling Aspell with NDEBUG is a bad idea
(see http://aspell.net/ndebug.html) by outputting a warning when
building with NDEBUG defined.
* Numerous other minor updates and bug fixes.
Changes from 0.60.5 to 0.60.6 (April 16, 2007)
* Compile fixes for Gcc 4.3.
* Updated to Libtool 2.2.2 and Automake 1.10.1
* Minor tweak to suggestion code which improved suggestion results in
certain cases.
* Always line buffer stdout and stderr in the Aspell utility when
there is the potential for it to be used interactively through a
pipe.
* Removed debug output in ‘aspell munch-list’.
* Other minor updates and bug fixes.
Changes from 0.60.4 to 0.60.5 (December 18, 2006)
* Compile fix for Gcc 4.1
* Updated to Gettext 0.16.1, Libtool 1.5.22, Automake 1.10, Autoconf
2.61
* Documentation improvements, including an updated man page.
* Complain if more than one file is specified when checking files
using the ‘aspell check’ command, rather than ignoring the other
files.
* Large number of bug fixes.
Changes from 0.60.3 to 0.60.4 (October 19, 2005)
* Fixed a bug that caused Aspell to crash when checking certain
Russian words, this bug likely affected other languages as well.
* Updated to Gettext 0.14.5 which is required for AMD64, also updated
to to Libtool 1.5.20.
* Fixed an alignment bug which caused mmap to always fail when
reading in dictionaries.
* Added note about how ‘make clean’ will remove the HTML manuals.
* Added manual page for prezip-bin and enhanced word-list-compress
manual page thanks to the work of Jose Da Silva.
* Other minor updates and bug fixes.
Changes from 0.60.2 to 0.60.3 (June 28, 2005)
* Fixed bugs involving several of the C API functions.
* Fixed bug where ‘ultra’ or ‘fast’ mode would not return any
suggestions when soundslike lookup was not used.
* Made a minor, yet significant, optimization to the suggestion code.
This sped things up by an order of magnitude in some cases.
* Avoid using the slow ngram scan except when the sug-mode is ‘slow’
or ‘bad-speller’.
* Fixed a bug in curses mode which caused word-wrap to not work
correctly in some cases.
* Fixed a bug in pipe mode with a missing newline.
* Fixed the spell compatibility script.
* Several other minor bugs fixed.
* Made note about the change in behavior of the -l command line
switch.
* Other manual update/fixes.
* Updated to Libtool 1.5.18, Automake 1.9.6, and Makeinfo 4.8.
Changes from 0.60.1 to 0.60.2 (December 18, 2004)
* Added the munch-list command to the Aspell utility. The munch
program in the myspell/ directory will disappear in Aspell 0.61.
The munchlist script will also likely disappear or be replaced when
Aspell 0.61 is released since it doesn’t work correctly anyway.
* Several important bug fixes some of which rendered some non-English
languages unusable.
* Other minor changes.
Changes from 0.60.1 to 0.60.1.1 (November 20, 2004)
* Fix bug involving checking of capitalized word when affix
compression is used.
* Compile fixes.
* Added an option to disable using the “wide” curses version in case
it causes compile problems.
* Minor manual updates
* Avoided including some unnecessary files in the distribution.
Changes from 0.60 to 0.60.1 (November 7, 2004)
* Lots of compile fixes for various platforms.
* Miscellaneous bug fixes.
* Added Nroff filter thanks to Sergey Poznyakoff.
* The default filter mode when in pipe mode is now nroff for
compatibility with Ispell.
* Added Texinfo filter.
* Added a section detailing the differences between Ispell and
Aspell.
* Updated the section on thread safety.
* Other miscellaneous manual changes such as updating the To Do and
Authors section.
Changes from 0.50.5 to 0.60 (August 27, 2004)
* Added support for Affix Compression. Affix compression stores the
root word and then a list of prefixes and suffixes that the word
can take, and thus saves a lot of space. The codebase comes from
MySpell found in OpenOffice. It uses the same affix file that
OpenOffice (and Mozilla) use. Affix compression will even work with
soundslike lookup to a limited extent.
* Added support for accepting all input and printing all output in
UTF-8 or some other encoding different from the one Aspell uses.
This includes support for Unicode normalization. Aspell can now
support any language with no more than 210 distinct characters,
including different capitalizations and accents, even if there is
not an existing 8-bit encoding that supports the language.
* Added support for loadable filters and customizable filter modes
thanks to Christoph Hintermüller.
* Enhanced SGML filter to also support skipping sgml tags such as
"script" blocks thanks to Tom Snyder.
* Added gettext support thanks to Sergey Poznyakoff
* Reworked the compiled dictionary format. Compiled dictionaries now
take up less space (less than 80% for the English language) and
creating them is significantly faster (over 4 times for the English
language).
* Reworked suggestion code. It is significantly faster when dealing
with short words (up to 10 times). Also added support for MySpell
Replacement Tables and n-gram lookup. In addition, added basic
support for compound words.
* Manual has has been converted to texinfo format thanks to the work
of Chris Martin.
* Reworked the build system so that a single Makefile is used for
most of the code.
* All data, by default, is now included in libdir/aspell-0.60. Also
added a built time option to increment the major version number of
the shared library. This should allow both Aspell version 0.50 and
0.60 to coexist. The major version number is not incremented by
default as Aspell 0.60 is binary compatible with Aspell 0.50. See
Binary Compatibility.
* The code to handle dictionaries has been rewritten. Because of this
support for the dictionary option strip-accents has been removed.
In addition the ignore-accents option is currently unimplemented.
* Lots of other minor changes due to massive overhaul of the source
code.
Changes from 0.50.4.1 to 0.50.5 (Feb 10, 2004)
* Reworked url filter which fixed several bugs and now accepts
"bla.bla/kdkdl" as a url.
* Fixed bug in which the url filter was coming before all other
filters when it was supposed to come after. This solved a number of
problems where the url filter was interfering with other filters.
* Small bug fix in SGML filter.
* Added code page charsets, ie cp125?.dat.
* Added natural (split) keyboard data file as "split.kbd"
* Compile fixes for the upcoming Gcc 3.4
* Removed Solaris link hack as it was causing more problems than it
fixes.
* Compile fixes for Sun WorkShop 6 compiler, but there may still be
some problems, especially with linking.
* Included patch to help compile with Microsoft Visual C++ 6.
* Minor manual fixes.
* Updated the TODO section to reflect the current progress with the
next major version of Aspell (0.51).
* Updated to Autoconf 2.59, Automake 1.82, and Libtool 1.5.2.
Changes from 0.50.4 to 0.50.4.1 (Oct 11, 2003)
* Fixed major bug in pipe mode which caused the last character to be
chopped off words before they were stored.
* Minor formating fixes in the manual.
Changes from 0.50.3 to 0.50.4 (Sep 26, 2003)
* Minor changes in URL filter to avoid treating the double quote
character as part of the URL, and to avoid treating words ending in
more than one period as a URL.
* Document fixes in Aspell API
* Small compile fixes, including one for GCC 3.3
* Updated Win32 section since a port now exists thanks to Thorsten
Maerz.
* Complain instead of doing nothing or aborting for unimplemented
functions in Aspell utility.
* Portability bug fixes.
* Upgraded to Autoconf 2.57, Automake 1.7.7, Libtool 1.5 (no longer
use CVS version of libtool).
Changes from 0.50.2 to 0.50.3 (Nov 23, 2002)
* Hopefully fixed the Ispell alignment error problem when Aspell is
used with ispell.el.
* Fixed a problem with personal dictionaries on NFS mounted home
directories.
* Compiled libaspell-common directory into libaspell for now to avoid
forcing applications to relink whenever a new Aspell version is out
which was due to the use of the libtool ’-release’ flag.
* Fixed Makefiles so that Aspell can be built outside the source tree
(i.e. with VPATH).
* Updated the section on compiling with Win32.
* Updated to Autoconf 2.56.
Changes from 0.50.1 to 0.50.2 (Sep 28, 2002)
* Fixed a number of bugs in Ispell compatibility mode
* Fixed a number of bugs with the handling of replacement pairs
* Other miscellaneous bug fixes
* Additional Win32 portability fixes
* Added the Ukrainian KOI8-U charset.
Changes from 0.50 to 0.50.1 (Aug 28, 2002)
* A rather large number of portability fixes for non GNU/Linux
platforms.
* Fixed pkglibdir and pkgdatadir in configure.
* Reintroduced some configure options from Aspell .33.7 included
dict-dir, data-dir, curses, curses-include, win32-relocatable.
* Fixed Aspell so it will now compile with -O3 when using gcc.
* Updated note on Win32 support.
* Other minor manual improvements.
* Portability fixes in dictionary files
* Official dictionary package for the Slovak language.
Changes from .33.7.1 to 0.50 (Aug 23, 2002)
* A complete overhaul of the source code which included merging
Pspell into Aspell.
* Changed the way dictionaries and languages are handled.
* Added Dvorak keymap.
* Added the ability to list the available dictionaries
* Improved the spell checking interface a bit.
* Added support for using the Ispell keymapping when checking files.
* Complete rewrite of the filter interface. It should now be fairly
easy to add new filters to Aspell.
* Added some preliminary developer documentation.
* Lots of other changes due to the massive overhaul of the source
code.
Changes from .33.7 to .33.7.1 (Aug 20, 2001)
* Minor manual fixes.
* Compile fix for Gcc 3.0 and Solaris.
Changes from .33.6.3 to .33.7 (Aug 2, 2001)
* Updates to Autoconf 2.50 and switched to the HEAD branch of
libtools.
* Fixed a bug which caused Aspell to crash when typo-analysis was not
used such as when sug-mode is fast or bad spellers.
* Added support for typo-analysis even when a soundslike was not
used.
* Fixed a bug which causes extended charters to display incorrectly
on some platforms
* Compile fixes so that it will compile with Gcc 3.0.
* Compile fixed which should allow Aspell to compile with Egcs 1.1. I
have not been able to actually test it though. Please let me know
at kevina@users.sourceforge.net if you have tried with Egcs 1.1.
* Compile and configuration script fixes so that USE_FILE_INO will
properly be defined and Aspell will compile correctly when it is
defined.
* More ANSI C++ compliance fixes.
Changes from .33.6.2 to .33.6.3 (June 3, 2001)
* Fixed a build problem in the manual/ directory by including
manual-text and manual-html in the distribution.
Changes from .33.6.1 to .33.6.2 (June 3, 2001)
* Compile fix so that Aspell will work correctly when not installed
in /usr/local.
* Avoided regenerating the manual unless configured with
enable-maintainer-mode.
* Added the missing documentation files in the scowl directory.
Changes from .33.6 to .33.6.1 (May 29, 2001)
* Fixed a formating problem with the manual involving <.
* Added a note about creating pwli files.
* Removed the space after between the -L and the directory name in
the pspell-module/Makefile which caused problems on some platforms.
* Added the configure option AM_MAINTAINER_MODE to avoid enabling
rules which often causes generated build files to be rebuilt with
the wrong version of Libtool by default. I don’t know why I didn’t
think to do this a long time ago.
Changes from .33.5 to .33.6 (May 18, 2001)
* Fixed a minor bug where some words would have random compound tags
attached to them.
* Fixed a compile problem on many platforms where fileno is defined
as a macro.
* Updated the description for a few of Aspell’s options.
* Removed the note of Aspell not being able to run when compiled with
the upcoming Gcc 3.0 compiler as things seam to work now.
* Added a note about Aspell not being able to compile with Egcs 1.1.
* Added hack to deal with Libtool’s interdependencies problem. See
bug #416981 for Pspell for more info.
Changes from .33 to .33.5 (April 5, 2001)
* dump master correctly detects which dictionary and language to use
based on the LANG environment variable.
* Fixed a problem on Win32 which involves path names that began with
<Drive Letter>:.
* Bug fixes and enhancements so that Aspell can once again run under
MinGW. You can even use the new full screen interface if Aspell is
compiled with PDCurses.
* Some major modifications to make Aspell more C++ compliant in order
to get Aspell to compile under the upcoming Gcc 3.0 compiler. This
included only using STL features found in the standard version of
C++. (Which means Aspell will no longer require using the SGI
version of the STL) This should also make compiling C++ under
non-gcc compilers a lot simpler. Please note that Aspell still has
some problems with the upcoming Gcc 3.0 compiler.
* Minor changes to remove some -Wall warnings.
* Added a hack so that Aspell would properly compile as a shared
library under Solaris.
* Added a few important missing words to the English word list.
Changes from .32.6 to .33 (January 28, 2001)
* Added a new new curses based interface to replace the dumb terminal
interface everyone has been bitching about.
* Added the ability to give higher priority to words such as "the"
instead of "teh" which are likely to be due to typos.
* Reorganized the manual so that it is hopefully easier to follow.
* Ability to automatically select the best dictionary to use based on
the setting of the LANG environment variable.
* Expanded the medium dictionary size to include more words which
included the original words found in Ispell and eliminated the
large size for now.
* Added three special variant add-on dictionaries.
* Switched to the multi-language branch of the CVS version of
libtool.
Changes from .32.5 to .32.6 (Nov 8, 2000)
* Fixed a bug where Aspell would crash when reading-in accented
characters on some platforms. This fixed bug # 112435.
* Fixed some other bugs so that it will run under Win32 under CygWin.
Unfortunately it still won’t run properly under Mingw.
* Fixed the mmap test in configure so that it won’t fail on some
platforms that use munmap(char *, int) instead of munmap(void *,
int).
* Upgraded to the latest CVS version of libtool which fixed the
problem with using GNU Make under Solaris.
* Added an option to copy files instead of using symbolic links for
the special multi dictionary files.
Changes from .32.1 to .32.5 (August 18, 2000)
* Changed my email from kevinatk at home com to kevina at users
sourceforge net please make a note of the new email address.
* Added an option to control if the personal replacement dictionary
is saved when the save_all_wls method is called.
* Brought back the ability to dump the master word list even in the
case of the special multi lists.
* Added a large number of hacker related words and some other slang
terms to the medium size word list.

don’t have Ispell installed. They are located in the scripts/
directory and are not installed by default.
* Manual fixes.
* Added a note on not using GNU Make on Solaris.
Changes from .32 to .32.1 (August 5, 2000)
* Minor compile fixes for recent gcc snapshot.
* Fixed naming of pwli files.
* Fixed a bug when Aspell will crash when used with certain single
letter flags. This bug was most noticeable when used with Emacs.
* Word list changes, see SCOWL Readme.
* Other miscellaneous changes.
Changes from .31.1 to .32 (July 23, 2000)
* Added support for optionally doing without the soundslike data.
* Greatly reduced the amount of memory used when creating word lists.
* Added support for ignoring accents when coming up with suggestions.
* Added support for local-data-dir which is searched before data-dir.
* Added support for specifying which words may be used in compounds
and where they may be used.
* Added support for having more than one main word list as well as a
special multi word list files which will allow multiple word lists
to be treated as one.
* Aspell now uses a completely new word list.
* The apostrophe (’) is no longer considered part of the word when it
as at the end of the word such as in ‘dogs'’.
Changes from .31 to .31.1 (June 18, 2000)
* Fixed a bug where Aspell would not create a complete dictionary
file on some platforms when the data is 8-bit.
* Added a workaround so Aspell will work with ispell.el 3.3.
* Minor compile fixes so it would compile better with the very latest
gcc (CVS Version).
* Removed note about compiling in Win32 as I was now able to get it
to work.
Changes from .30.1 to .31 (June 11, 2000)
* Added support for spell checking run together words.
* Added an option to produce a list of misspelled words from standard
input.
* More robust error reporting when reading in language data files.
* Fixed a bug that would cause Aspell to crash if the special line
was not defined in the language data file.
* Updated Pspell Module.
* Minor bug fixes.
* Added cross references in “The Aspell Utility Chapter” for easier
use.
Changes from .30 to .30.1 (April 29, 2000)
* Ported Aspell to Win32 platforms.
* Portability fixes which may help Aspell compile on other platforms.
* Aspell will no longer fail if for some reason the mmap fails,
instead it will just read the file in as normal and free the memory
when done.
* Minor changes in the format of the main word list as a result of
the changes, the old format should still work in most cases.
* Fixed a bug where Aspell was ignoring the extension of file names
such as .html or .tex when checking files.
* Fixed a bug where Aspell will go into an infinite loop when
creating the main word list from a word list which has duplicates
in it.
* Minor changes to the manual for better clarity.
Changes from .29.1 to .30 (April 2, 2000)
* Fixed many of the capitalization bugs found in previous versions of
Aspell.
* Changed the format of the main word list yet again.
* Fixed a bug so that aspell check will work on the PowerPC.
* Added ability to change configuration options in the middle of a
session.
* Added words from /usr/dict/words found on most Linux systems as
well as a bunch of commonly used abbreviations to the word list.
* Fixed a bug where Aspell would dump core after reporting certain
errors when compiled with gcc 2.95 or higher. This involved
reworking the Exception heritage to get around a bug in gcc 2.95.
* Added a few more commands to the list of default commands the TeX
filter knows about.
* Aspell will now check if a word only contains valid characters
before adding it to any dictionaries. This might mean that you have
to manually delete a few words from your personal word list.
* Added option to ignore case when checking a document.
* Adjusted the parameters of the normal suggest mode to so that
significantly less far fetched results are returned in cases such
as tomatoe, which went from 100 suggestions down to 32, at the
expense of getting slightly lower results (less than 1%),
* Improved the edit distance algorithm for slightly faster results.
* Removed the ‘$$m’ command in pipe mode, you should now use ‘$$cs
mode,mode’ to set the mode and $$cr mode to find out the current
mode.
* Reworked parts of Aspell to use Pspell services to avoid
duplicating code.
* Added a module for the newly released Pspell. It will get installed
with the rest of Aspell.
* Miscellaneous other bug fixes.
Changes from .29 to .29.1 (Feb 18, 2000)
* Improved the TeX filter so that it will accept ’@’ at the beginning
of a command name and ignored trailing ’*’s. It also now has better
defaults for which parameters to skip.
* Reworked the main dictionary so that it can be memory mapped in.
This decreases startup time and allows multiple Aspell processes to
use the same memory for the main word list. This also also made
Aspell 64 bit clean so that it should work on an alpha now.
* Fix so that Aspell could compile on platforms that gnu is not yet
available for.
* Fixed issue with flock so it would compile on FreeBSD.
* Minor changes in the code to make it more C++ compliant although I
am sure there will still be problems when using some other compiler
other than gcc or egcs.
* Added some comments to the header files to better document a few of
the classes.
Changes from .28.3 to .29 (Feb 6, 2000)
* Fixed a bug in the pipe mode with lines that start with ‘^$$’.
* Added support for ignoring all words less than or equal to a
specified length
* New soundslike code based thanks to the contribution of Björn
Jacke. It now gets all of its data from a table making it easier
for other people to add soundslike code for their native language.
He also converted the metaphone algorithm to table form,
eliminating the need for the old metaphone code.
* Major redesign of the suggestion code for better results.
* Changed the format of the personal word lists. In most cases it
should be converted automatically.
* Changed the format of the main word list.
* Name space cleanup for more consistent naming. I now use name
spaces which means that gcc 2.8.* and egcs 1.0.* will no longer cut
it.
* Used file locks when reading and saving the personal dictionaries
so that it truly multiprocesses safely.
* Added rudimentary filter support.
* Reworked the configuration system once again. However, the changes
to the end user who does not directly use my library should be
minimal.
* Rewrote my code that handles parsing command line parameters so
that it no longer used popt as it was causing too many problems and
didn’t integrate well with my new configuration system.
* Fixed pipe mode so that it will properly ignore lines starting with
’~’ for better Ispell compatibility.
* Aspell now has a new home page at http://aspell.sourceforge.net/.
Please make note of the new URL.
* Miscellaneous manual fixes and clarifications.
Changes from .28.2.1 to .28.3 (Nov 20, 1999)
* Fixed a bug that caused Aspell to crash when spell checking words
over 60 characters long.
* Reworked aspell check so that
1. You no longer have to hit enter when making a choice.
2. It will now overwrite the original file instead of creating a
new file. An optional backup can be made by using the -b
option.
* Fixed a few bugs in data.cc.
Changes from .28.2 to .28.2.1 (Aug 25, 1999)
* Fixed the version number for the shared library.
* Fixed a problem with undefined references when linking to the
shared library.
Changes from .28.1 to .28.2 (Aug 25, 1999)
* Fixed a bunch of bugs in the language and configuration classes.
* Minor changes in the code so that it could compile with the new gcc
2.95(.1).
* Changed the output of dump config so that default values are given
the value <default>. This means that the output can be used to
create a configuration file.
* Added notes on using Aspell with VIM.
Changes from .28 to .28.1 (July 27, 1999)
* Removed some debug output
* Changed notes on compiling with gcc 2.8.* as I managed to get it to
compile on my school account
* Avoided including stdexcept in const_string.hh so that I could get
Aspell to compile on my school account with gcc 2.8.1.
Changes from .27.2 to .28 (July 25, 1999)
* Provided an iterator for the replacement classes.
* Added support for dumping and creating and merging the personal and
replacement word lists.
* Changed the Aspell utility command line a bit, it now used popt.
* Totally reworked Aspell configuration system. Now Aspell could get
configuration from any of 5 sources: the command line, the
environment variable ASPELL_CONF, the personal configuration file,
the global configuration file, and finally the compiled-in
defaults.
* Totally reworked the language class in preparation for my new
language code. See http://aspell.sourceforge.net/international/ for
more information of what I have in store.
* Added some options to the configure script: –enable-dict-dir=DIR,
–enable-doc-dir=DIR, –enable-debug, and –enable-opt
* Removed some old header files.
* Reorganized the directory structure a bit
* Made the text version of the manual pages slightly easier to read
* Used the ‘\url’ command for urls for better formating of the
printed version.
Changes from .27.1 to .27.2 (Mar 1, 1999)
* Fixed a major bug that caused Aspell to dump core when used without
any arguments
* Fixed another major bug that caused Aspell to do nothing when used
in interactive mode.
* Added an option to exit in Aspell’s interactive mode.
* Removed some old documentation files from the distribution.
* Minor changes to the the section on using Aspell with egcs.
* Minor changes to remove -Wall warnings.
Changes from .27 to .27.1 (Feb 24, 1999)
* Fixed a minor compile problem.
* Updated the section on using Aspell with egcs to it. It was now
more clear why the patch was necessary.
Changes from .26.2 to .27 (Feb 22, 1999)
* Totally reworked the C++ library which means you may need to change
some things in your code.
* Added support for detachable and multiple personal dictionaries in
the C++ class library.
* The C++ class library now throws exceptions.
* Reworked Aspell ability to learn from users misspellings a bit so
that it now has a memory. For more information see Notes on Storing
Replacement Pairs.
* Upgraded autoconf to version 2.13 and automake to version 1.4 for
better portability.
* Fixed the configuration so the make dist will work. From now on
Aspell will be distributed with make dist.
* Added support to skip over URL’s, email addresses and host names.
* Added support for dumping the master and personal word list. You
can now also merge a personal word list. Type aspell -help for help
on using this feature.
* Reorganized the source code.
* Started using proper version numbers for the shared library.
* Fixed a bug that caused Aspell to crash when adding certain
replacement pairs.
* Fixed the problem with duplicate lines when exiting pipe mode for
good.
Changed from .26.1 to .26.2 (Jan 3, 1998)
* Fixed another compile problem. Hopefully this time it will really
compile OK on other peoples machines.
Changed from .26 to .26.1 (Jan 3, 1998)
* Fixed a small compile problem in as_data.cc.
Changed from .25.1 to .26 (Jan 3, 1999)
* Fixed a bug that caused duplicate items to be displayed in the
suggestion list for good. (If it still does it please send me
email.)
* Added the ability for Aspell to learn form the users misspellings.
* Library Interface changes. Still more to come ….
* Is now multiprocess safe. When a personal dictionary (or
replacement list) is saved it will now first update the list
against the dictionary on disk in case another process modified it.
* Fixed the bug that caused duplicate output when used non
interactively in pipe mode.
* Dropped support for gcc 2.7.2 as the C++ compiler.
* Updated the How Aspell Works (Aspell Suggestion Strategy.)
* Added support for the ASPELL_DATA_DIR environment variable.
Changes from .25 to .25.1 (Dec 10, 1998)
* Fixed the version number so that Aspell reports the correct version
number.
* Changed the note on gcc 2.7.2 compilers to make it clear that only
the C++ compiler cannot be gcc 2.7.2, it is OK if the C compiler is
gcc 2.7.2.
* Updated the TODO list and reorganized it a bit.
* Fixed the directory so that all the documentation will get
installed in ${prefix}/doc/aspell instead of half of it in
${prefix}/doc/aspell and half of it in ${prefix}/doc/kspell.
Changes from .24 to .25 (Nov 23, 1998)
* Total rework of how the main word list is stored. Start up time
decreased to about 1/3 of what it was in .24 and memory usage
decreased to about 2/3. (When used with the provided word list on a
Linux system).
Also the format and default locations of the main word list data
files changed in the process and the data is now machine dependent.
The personal word list format, however, stayed the same.
* Changed the scoring method to produce slightly better results with
words like the vs. teh. And other simpler misspellings where two
letters are swapped.
* Fixed the very unpredictable behavior of the ‘*’, ‘&’, ‘@’ commands
in the pipe mode.
* Added documentations for Aspell pipe mode (also known as ‘ispell
-a’ compatibility mode)
* Added a bunch of Aspell specific extensions to the pipe mode and
documented them.
* Documented the to_soundslike and soundslike methods for the aspell
class.
* Changed the scoring method to produce better results for words like
fone vs phone and other words that have a spelling that doesn’t
directly relate to how the word sounds by using the phoneme
equivalent of the word in the scoring of it.
* Added the to_phoneme and have_phoneme methods to the SC_Language
class.
* Added the to_phoneme method to the aspell class.
* Added the framework for being able to learn from the users
misspelling. Right now it just keeps a log of replacements.
* Redid stl_rope-30.diff. For some reason the version of patch on my
system refused it.
* Rewrite of the “Using as a replacement for Ispell” section and
added the run-with-aspell utility as a replacement of the old
method of mapping Ispell to Aspell.
* Fixed a bug that caused duplicate words to appear in the suggestion
list.
Changes from .23 to .24 (Nov 8, 1998)
* Fixed my code so that it can once again compile with g++ 2.7.2.
* Rewrote the How It Works chapter.
* Rewrote the Requirement section and added notes on compiling with
g++ 2.7.2.
* Added a To Do chapter.
* Added a Glossary and References chapter.
* Other minor documentation improvements.
* Internal code documentation improvements.
Changes from .22.1 to .23 (Oct 31, 1998)
* Minor documentation fixes.
* Changed the scoring strategy for words with 3 or less letters. This
cut the number of words returned for these roughly in half.
* Expanded the word list to also include american.0 and american.1
from the Ispell distribution. It now includes english.0, english.1,
american.0 and american.1 from the directory languages/english
provided with Ispell 3.1.20.
* Added a link to the location of the latest Ispell.el in the
documentation.
* Started a C interface and added some rough documentation for it.
Changes from .22 to .22.1 (Oct 27, 1998)
* Minor bug fixes. I was deleting arrays with delete rather than
delete[]. I was suprised that this had not created a problem.
* Added a simple test program to test for a memory leak present on
some systems. (Only debian slink at the moment.) See the file
memleak-test.cc for more info.
Changes from .21 to .22 (Oct 26, 1998)
* Major redesign of the scoring method. It now uses absolute
distances rather than relative scores for more consistent results.
See suggest.cc for more info.
* Suggest code rewritten in several places, however the core process
stayed the same.
* The suggest_ultra method temporarily does nothing. It should be
working again by the next release.
Changes from .20 to .21 (Oct 13, 1998)
* Added documentation for aspell::Error
* Changed the library name from libspell to libaspell. It should
never have been libspell in the first place. Sorry for the
incompatibility.
* Added as_error.hh to the list of files copied to the include
directory so that you can actually use the library outside of the
source dir.
* Fixed bug that caused a segmentation fault with words where the
only suggestions was inserting a space or hyphen such as in
ledgerline.
* Added the score method to aspell.
* Changed the scoring method to deal with word when the user uses "f"
in place of "ph" a lot better.
Changes from .11 to .20 (Oct 10, 1998)
* Name change. Everything that was Kspell is now Aspell. Sorry, the
name Kspell was already used by KDE and I didn’t want to cause any
confusion.
* Fixed a bug that causes a segmentation fault when the HOME
environment variable doesn’t exist.
Changes from .10 to .11 (Sep 12, 1998)
* Overhaul of the SC_Language class
* Added documentation for international support
* Added documentation for the C++ library
* Other minor bug fixes.
