Change default backend to hunspell.
aspell support is now a (disabled by default) option.
Add some other options.
Remove aspell from includes in buildlink3.mk. The backends
are abstracted into dynamically loaded modules and don't need
to be pulled in by buildlink3.mk.
Release notes:
Voikko (Finnish) language support. Zemberek (Turkish) language support.
Better support for Unicode in the personal dictionaries. Personal
dictionaries offer better suggestions. OpenOffice's dictionaries are used
on Windows. Aspell works on Windows. This release can use a system-wide
Hunspell/Myspell installation on Unix-like platforms. Hunspell 1.2.1 and
NET bindings are required. This release has more lax language matching
rules. It uses XDG's data-dirs spec for locating dictionaries. There are
many unit tests and bugfixes.
The project aims to provide an efficient extensible abstraction
for dealing with different spell checking libraries.
Enchant is meant to provide a generic interface into various existing
spell checking libaries. These include, but are not limited to:
* Aspell/Pspell
* Ispell
* Hspell
* Uspell
Enchant is also meant to be used in a cross-platform (XP) environment.
Part of this means that Enchant wants to limit its number of external
dependencies to 0, or as close is as humanly possible. Also, any
enchant consumer (i.e. a Word Processor) should not need to know
about what backend providers Enchant knows about. In fact, Enchant
shouldn't even need to know this information itself. To accomplish
this, all of Enchant's providers are DLLs.
Enchant is also meant to be used in a multi-user environment, such
as Unix. It is preferable to have both a $USER and a $GLOBAL
location for both provider DLLs and for dictionaries themselves,
when possible. Enchant's DLL location algorithm takes this into
account, and gives preference to the $USER DLLs, when found.
