[aspell] ANNOUNCE: Aspell .29.1 and Aspell-Dict .14

[Kevin Atkinson]

A new version of Aspell and Aspell-Dict is out.

Changes from Aspell .29 to .29.1 

  * Improved the TEX filter so that it will accept '@' at the begging of a
    command name and ignore trailing '*'s. It also now has better defaults
    for which parameters to skip.
  * 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.
  * Fix so that aspell can compile on platforms that gnu as is not
    available for.
  * Fixed issue with flock so it would compile on FreeBSD.
  * 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.
  * Added some comments to the header files to better document a few of
    the classes.

Aspell-Dict is the Aspell Alternate Dictionary Package.  The only change
in this version is a fix in the install process so it would work with
aspell .29.1 as the name of the main word list has changed.

I am waiting for people to start sending me there ~/.aspell.english.prepl
file.

As always you can get find the latest version off of the aspell homepage
at http://aspell.sourceforge.net/.
