Hello, This is to announce dico-2.2, a new stable release of GNU Dico. GNU Dico is a dictionary server capable of handling various dictionary formats. It also provides a library for writing new modules, and several client-side utilities. For more info, please visit its home page at <http://dico.gnu.org.ua>.
This release introduces new modules for handling dictionary formats (among them, GCIDE) and match strategies. See below for a detailed list of changes. Here are the compressed sources: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/dico/dico-2.2.tar.gz (2.8MB) ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/dico/dico-2.2.tar.bz2 (2.0MB) ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/dico/dico-2.2.tar.xz (1.4MB) Here are the GPG detached signatures[*]: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/dico/dico-2.2.tar.gz.sig ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/dico/dico-2.2.tar.bz2.sig ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/dico/dico-2.2.tar.xz.sig To reduce load on the main server, use a mirror listed at: http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html Here are the MD5 and SHA1 checksums: 45145e4790ce64332b2d8e842ce5f957 dico-2.2.tar.gz b5be7aca86a8eacfe2434813e29fa7b0 dico-2.2.tar.bz2 22429a83248e11fb18e149cca470fcae dico-2.2.tar.xz 2fb2884c55cc10ff23b30dd8c79711b24e69e80a dico-2.2.tar.gz 9a8d04502d98d2bffbf002d76b2fe027b43ae869 dico-2.2.tar.bz2 e18c67f7206d94372220a6c9eb03cdca49f6fbcc dico-2.2.tar.xz [*] You can use either of the above signature files to verify that the corresponding file (without the .sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this: gpg --verify dico-2.2.tar.gz.sig If that command fails because you don't have the required public key, then run this command to import it: gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 55D0C732 and rerun the `gpg --verify' command. This release was bootstrapped with the following tools: Autoconf 2.63 Automake 1.11.1 Libtool 2.2.7a Bison 2.3 Flex 2.5.35 Gnulib v0.0-4957-g2e683a8 The list of user-visible changes follows: * New modules ** gcide This module provides support for GNU Collaborative International Dictionary of English. Version 0.51 of this dictionary is released simultaneously with GNU Dico. ** wordnet This module provides support for WordNet, a lexical database for the English language developed in the Princeton University and distributed under a BSD style license. ** word This module provides the following strategies: word "Match separate words within headwords" first "Match the first word within headwords" last "Match the last word within headwords" ** nprefix Provides the "nprefix" strategy. It is similar to "prefix" but returns a specified range of matches. For example MATCH <dict> nprefix <skip>#<count>#<string> returns at most <count> headwords whose prefix matches <string>, skipping first <skip> unique matches. ** pcre Provides matching strategy based on Perl regular expressions. ** pam Implements PAM authentication. * New utility: gcider "Gcider" is a window-based application for browsing the GNU Collaborative International Dictionary of English (see http://www.gnu.org/software/gcide). * Configuration changes ** load-module The load-module statement allows for a simplified form: load-module word; This is equivalent to: load-module word { command "word"; } Either string or list of strings is accepted as argument. The latter is useful for loading several modules with a single statement, e.g.: load-module (stratall,substr,word); -- Regards, Sergey _______________________________________________ GNU Announcement mailing list <info-gnu@gnu.org> https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnu
