After eight Hspell releases with interesting announcements or release dates,
we've unfortunately run out of wacky ideas. So this announcement will be
totally boring and informative.
We are proud to announce version 0.9 of Hspell, the free Hebrew spell-
checker.
As usual, you can find the new release in the project's homepage, at:
http://ivrix.org.il/projects/spell-checker/
As Hspell is nearing its official "1.0" release, its coverage (vocabulary)
is becoming more and more complete. In this release, about 2,500 base words
were added - more than were added in any one of the previous releases.
While working on this release we also continued our effort to to bring
Hspell-based Hebrew spell-checking to common multi-lingual spell-checkers.
Hspell's dictionaries (full word list and valid prefix information) were
exported to formats used by other spell-checking frameworks. Such Hspell-
based Hebrew dictionaries are now available on the official sites of Aspell,
Mozilla and OpenOffice (see our website for links, and the WHATSNEW file for
build instructions).
Other notable improvements in this release:
* C API improvements: New hspell_set_dictionary_path() function to tell
Hspell where its dictionaries were installed. Fixed bug on UTF8 locales
and removed spurious printouts.
* "Hspell -a" (ispell-like pipe API) improvements: words can now be added to
personal dictionary. This means that the "Add word" in KDE, LyX, and other
Hspell-using applications will finally work.
* Fixed errors in the morphological analyzer ("-l" option, when built
with --enable-linginfo). Also, now if the "-l" and "-c" options are given
together to hspell, morphological analysis is given also for correction
suggestions, and those are given even for words which are already correct.
We also fixed many other bugs. Check out http://ivrix.org.il/bugzilla/ for
more details.
P.S.
Come to think of it, this announcement was interesting after all -
it was Hspell's first totally boring announcement with a totally
insignificant date!
