<a name="Changes-from-0_002e60_002e6_002e1-to-0_002e60_002e7-_0028_003f_003f_002c-2011_0029"></a>
<h3 class="heading">Changes from 0.60.6.1 to 0.60.7 (??, 2011)</h3>
<ul>
<li> 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.
</li><li> 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.
</li><li> 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.
</li><li> In addition to outputting a warning when building with NDEBUG defined,
also include NDEBUG in the version string.
</li><li> Other minor updates and bug fixes.
</li></ul>
<a name="Changes-from-0_002e60_002e6-to-0_002e60_002e6_002e1-_0028July-4_002c-2011_0029"></a>
<h3 class="heading">Changes from 0.60.6 to 0.60.6.1 (July 4, 2011)</h3>
<ul>
<li> Update to Automake 1.10.3
</li><li> 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.
</li><li> Make it very clear that compiling Aspell with NDEBUG is a bad idea
(see <a href="http://aspell.net/ndebug.html">http://aspell.net/ndebug.html</a>) by outputting a
warning when building with NDEBUG defined.
</li><li> Numerous other minor updates and bug fixes.
</li></ul>

<h3 class="heading">Changes from 0.60.3 to 0.60.4 (October 19, 2005)</h3>
<ul>
<li> Fixed a bug that caused Aspell to crash when checking certain Russian

This sped things up by an order of magnitude in some cases.

<code>munch</code> program in the <samp>myspell/</samp> directory will
disappear in Aspell 0.61. The <code>munchlist</code> script will also
likely disappear or be replaced when Aspell 0.61 is released since it
doesn’t work correctly anyway.
</li><li> Several important bug fixes some of which rendered some non-English
languages unusable.
</li><li> Other minor changes.

<a name="Changes-from-0_002e60-to-0_002e60_002e1-_0028November-7_002c-2004_0029"></a>
<h3 class="heading">Changes from 0.60 to 0.60.1 (November 7, 2004)</h3>
<ul>
<li> Lots of compile fixes for various platforms.
</li><li> Miscellaneous bug fixes.
</li><li> Added Nroff filter thanks to Sergey Poznyakoff.
</li><li> The default filter mode when in pipe mode is now nroff for compatibility with
Ispell.
</li><li> Added Texinfo filter.

<a name="Changes-from-0_002e50_002e5-to-0_002e60-_0028August-27_002c-2004_0029"></a>
<h3 class="heading">Changes from 0.50.5 to 0.60 (August 27, 2004)</h3>
<ul>
<li> 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.
</li><li> 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, <em>even if</em> there is not an existing
8-bit encoding that supports the language.
</li><li> Added support for loadable filters and customizable filter modes thanks
to Christoph Hintermüller.
</li><li> Enhanced SGML filter to also support skipping sgml tags such as "script"
blocks thanks to Tom Snyder.
</li><li> Added gettext support thanks to Sergey Poznyakoff
</li><li> 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).
</li><li> 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.
</li><li> Manual has has been converted to texinfo format thanks to the work of
Chris Martin.
</li><li> Reworked the build system so that a single Makefile is used for most
of the code.
</li><li> All data, by default, is now included in
<samp><var>libdir</var>/aspell-0.60</samp>. 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 <em>not</em> incremented by default as Aspell 0.60 is binary
compatible with Aspell 0.50. See <a href="Upgrading-from-Aspell-0_002e50.html#Binary-Compatibility">Binary Compatibility</a>.
</li><li> The code to handle dictionaries has been rewritten. Because of this
support for the dictionary option <samp>strip-accents</samp> has been
removed. In addition the <samp>ignore-accents</samp> option is currently
unimplemented.
</li><li> Lots of other minor changes due to massive overhaul of the source code.
</li></ul>

<h3 class="heading">Changes from 0.50.4.1 to 0.50.5 (Feb 10, 2004)</h3>
<ul>
<li> Reworked url filter which fixed several bugs and now accepts
"bla.bla/kdkdl" as a url.
</li><li> 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.
</li><li> Small bug fix in SGML filter.
</li><li> Added code page charsets, ie cp125?.dat.
</li><li> Added natural (split) keyboard data file as "split.kbd"
</li><li> Compile fixes for the upcoming Gcc 3.4

<li> Hopefully fixed the Ispell alignment error problem when Aspell is used
with ispell.el.
</li><li> Fixed a problem with personal dictionaries on NFS mounted home
directories.
</li><li> 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.
</li><li> Fixed Makefiles so that Aspell can be built outside the source tree
(i.e. with VPATH).
</li><li> Updated the section on compiling with Win32.
</li><li> Updated to Autoconf 2.56.

MinGW. You can even use the new full screen interface if Aspell is
compiled with PDCurses.
</li><li> 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.
</li><li> Minor changes to remove some -Wall warnings.

instead of "teh" which are likely to be due to typos.
</li><li> Reorganized the manual so that it is hopefully easier to follow.
</li><li> Ability to automatically select the best dictionary to use based on
the setting of the <code>LANG</code> environment variable.
</li><li> Expanded the medium dictionary size to include more words which
included the original words found in Ispell and eliminated the large
size for now.

saved when the save_all_wls method is called.
</li><li> Brought back the ability to dump the master word list even in the case
of the special <strong>multi</strong> lists.
</li><li> Added a large number of hacker related words and some other slang
terms to the medium size word list.
</li><li> Added an <strong>ispell</strong> and <strong>spell</strong> compatibility script for
systems which don’t have Ispell installed. They are located in the

when compiled with gcc 2.95 or higher. This involved reworking the
Exception heritage to get around a bug in gcc 2.95.
</li><li> Added a few more commands to the list of default commands the TeX
filter knows about.
</li><li> 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.
</li><li> Added option to ignore case when checking a document.
</li><li> Adjusted the parameters of the <strong>normal</strong> 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%),
</li><li> Improved the edit distance algorithm for slightly faster results.

<a name="Changes-from-_002e29-to-_002e29_002e1-_0028Feb-18_002c-2000_0029"></a>
<h3 class="heading">Changes from .29 to .29.1 (Feb 18, 2000)</h3>

<li> 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.
</li><li> 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.
</li><li> Fix so that Aspell could compile on platforms that gnu is not yet
available for.
</li><li> Fixed issue with flock so it would compile on FreeBSD.
</li><li> 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.
</li><li> Added some comments to the header files to better document a few of

<h3 class="heading">Changes from .28.3 to .29 (Feb 6, 2000)</h3>
<ul>
<li> Fixed a bug in the pipe mode with lines that start with
‘<samp>^$$</samp>’.
</li><li> Added support for ignoring all words less than or equal to a specified length
</li><li> 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.
</li><li> Major redesign of the suggestion code for better results.
</li><li> Changed the format of the personal word lists. In most cases it
should be converted automatically.
</li><li> Changed the format of the main word list.
</li><li> 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.
</li><li> Used file locks when reading and saving the personal dictionaries so
that it truly multiprocesses safely.
</li><li> Added rudimentary filter support.
</li><li> Reworked the configuration system once again. However, the changes to
the end user who does not directly use my library should be minimal.
</li><li> 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.
</li><li> Fixed pipe mode so that it will properly ignore lines starting with
’~’ for better Ispell compatibility.
</li><li> Aspell now has a new home page at
<a href="http://aspell.sourceforge.net/">http://aspell.sourceforge.net/</a>. Please make note of the new
URL.
</li><li> Miscellaneous manual fixes and clarifications.
</li></ul>

</li></ul>
<a name="Changes-from-_002e24-to-_002e25-_0028Nov-23_002c-1998_0029"></a>
<h3 class="heading">Changes from .24 to .25 (Nov 23, 1998)</h3>
<ul>
<li> 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).
<p>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.

words like the vs. teh. And other simpler misspellings where two
letters are swapped.

doesn’t directly relate to how the word sounds by using the phoneme
equivalent of the word in the scoring of it.
</li><li> Added the <code>to_phoneme</code> and <code>have_phoneme</code> methods to the
<code>SC_Language</code> class.
</li><li> Added the <code>to_phoneme</code> method to the <code>aspell</code> class.
</li><li> Added the framework for being able to learn from the users
misspelling. Right now it just keeps a log of replacements.
</li><li> Redid <samp>stl_rope-30.diff</samp>. For some reason the version of patch
on my system refused it.
</li><li> Rewrite of the “<em>Using as a replacement for Ispell</em>” section
and added the <code>run-with-aspell</code> utility as a replacement of the
old method of mapping Ispell to Aspell.

<strong>american.1</strong> from the Ispell distribution. It now includes
<strong>english.0</strong>, <strong>english.1</strong>, <strong>american.0</strong> and

<h3 class="heading">Changes from .11 to .20 (Oct 10, 1998)</h3>
