From kevin@atkinson.dhs.org Fri Jan 3 12:42:38 2003 Date: Fri, 3 Jan 2003 12:40:37 -0500 (EST) From: Kevin Atkinson To: aspell-announce@gnu.org, aspell-user@gnu.org Subject: New Version of Aspell English Dictionary Now Available A new version of Aspell's English dictionary is now available at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/aspell-en-0.51-0.tar.bz2 or off of the Aspell home page http://aspell.net. Changes for 0.51-0: January 3, 2003 Updated to SCOWL 5 which: Added variants that were not really spelling variants (such as forwards) Removed some spelling variants and other strange words from the word list (for example meaneing). Removed rarely used inflections of a word. Removed the DEC Word List due to the questionable license and because removing it will not seriously decrease the quality of SCOWL (there are a few less proper names). Among others. -- http://kevin.atkinson.dhs.org
