Based on maintainer update request by PR 39892.
Major changes in 1.0.0:
- Running dictem-initialize everytime your network/internet is up
(if case you have no permanent connection to Internet,
e.g. dial-up, adsl etc.) is a bit annoying. To avoid this dictem
is (re)initialized (if needed) automatically from
dictem-select-strategy and dictem-select-database functions. As
a result, running dictem-initialize in .emacs becomes unnecessary
- New function (dictem-reinitialize-err) added
- Minor fix in dictem-initialize-databases-alist function. Now it
returns error data in case of failure, not nil.
(just like dictem-initialize-strategies-alist)
Don't call pkg_info to get the installed Emacs version; always use the
version matching EMACS_TYPE set by users. Be DEPENDS to it. This should
address pkg/37146 by Aleksey Cheusov.
While here convert some emacs lisp packages to user-destdir.
This is newer version than PR 33203.
DictEm is a customizable DICT client for (X)Emacs. It implements all
functions of the client part of the DICT protocol (RFC-2229). Unlike
dictionary.el, it widely uses autocompletion that is used for
selecting a dictionary and search strategy. It also provides several
hooks that may be used for buffer postprocessing. Built-in
hyperlinking and a highlighting mechanisms are based on this
ability. Also, DictEm supports the mechanism of virtual dictionaries
that can be used for grouping dictionaries from _different_ DICT
servers into the client-side virtual dictionary.
