From kevin@atkinson.dhs.org Fri Aug 16 10:40:37 2002 Date: Fri, 16 Aug 2002 08:35:31 -0400 (EDT) From: Kevin Atkinson To: aspell-announce@gnu.org, aspell-devel@gnu.org Subject: [aspell-announce] GNU Aspell Update I have just uploaded a new snapshot for GNU Aspell. You can find it at: http://savannah.gnu.org/download/aspell/aspell-0.50-20020815.tar.gz This is the last snapshot I plan to release before the official release of GNU Aspell 0.50. So, let me know if you have problems with it. I _hope_ to release Aspell 0.50 by the end of next week. The main reasons for doing this release is so that I can officially retire the old Aspell/Pspell combination, to get GNU Aspell into the next version of various GNU/Linux and other free operating system (such as FreeBSD), and to generate publicity for GNU Aspell by creating a press release for GNU Aspell 0.50. With a few exceptions it should be at least as functional and stable as the old Aspell/Pspell combination. The main exception is that there will be no ispell module for GNU Aspell since Kevin Hendricks yet to be integrated affix code should make the need for Ispell obsolete. From an end-users standpoint GNU Aspell also has a few minor enhancements over the old Aspell/Pspell combination such as the ability to use Ispell key bindings when checking documents. As a side note, RMS has given me the all clear to use Kevin Hendricks affix code. Now someone just needs to do the work. --- http://kevin.atkinson.dhs.org
