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.
pkgsrc change:
buildlink3.mk:
Bump API_DEPENDS, since shlib name changed. No dependencies in pkgsrc.
Release notes:
2008-04-12: Hunspell 1.2.2 release:
- extended dictionary (dic file) support to use multiple base and
special dictionaries.
- new and improved options of command line hunspell:
-m: morphological analysis or flag debug mode (without affix
rule data it signs the flag of the affix rules)
-s: stemming mode
-D: list available dictionaries and search path
-d: support extra dictionaries by comma separated list. Example:
hunspell -d en_US,en_med,de_DE,de_med,de_geo UNESCO.txt
- forbidding in personal dictionary (with asterisk, / signs affixation)
- optional compressed dictionary format "hzip" for aff and dic files
usage:
hzip example.aff example.dic
mv example.aff example.dic /tmp
hunspell -d example
hunzip example.aff.hz >example.aff
hunzip example.dic.hz >example.dic
- new affix compression tool "affixcompress": compression tool for
large (millions of words) dictionaries.
- support encrypted dictionaries for closed OpenOffice.org extensions or
other commercial programs
- improved manual
- bug fixes
2007-11-01: Hunspell 1.2.1 release:
- new memory efficient condition checking algorithm for affix rules
- new morphological functions:
- stem() for stemming
- analyze() for morphological analysis
- generate() for morphological generation
- new demos:
- analyze: stemming, morphological analysis and generation
- chmorph: morphological conversion of texts

* Major changes in Autoconf 2.62 (2008-04-05) [stable]
Released by Eric Blake, based on git versions 2.61a.*.
** Many optimizations have been applied to make overall execution faster.
** Autotest now makes use of shell functions.
** config.status now uses awk instead of sed also for config headers.
- As a side effect, AC_DEFINE and AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED now handle multi-line
values, i.e., backslash-newline combinations are handled correctly.
Further, for config headers, the total size of values is not limited by
the POSIX length limit of text lines any more, only each single line.
** New config variable `top_build_prefix'.
** New Autoconf macros:
AC_AUTOCONF_VERSION AC_OPENMP AC_PATH_PROGS_FEATURE_CHECK
** AC_C_BIGENDIAN now supports universal binaries a la Mac OS X.
** AC_C_RESTRICT now prefers to #define 'restrict' to a variant spelling
like '__restrict' if the variant spelling is available, as this is
more likely to work when mixing C and C++ code.
** AC_CHECK_ALIGNOF's type argument T is now documented better: it must
be a string of tokens such that "T y;" is a valid member declaration
in a struct.
** AC_CHECK_SIZEOF now accepts objects as well as types: the general rule
is that sizeof (X) works, then AC_CHECK_SIZEOF (X) should work.
** AC_CHECK_TYPE and AC_CHECK_TYPES now work on any C type-name; formerly,
they did not work for function types. In C++, they now work on any
type-id that can be the operand of sizeof; this is similar to C,
except it excludes anonymous struct and union types. Formerly,
some (but not all) C++ types involving anonymous struct and union
were accepted, though this was not documented.
** AC_CONFIG_LINKS now prefers to link against files in the build tree
if found, and it works to link against a file of the same name in
the source tree, even if both trees coincide.
** AC_INIT no longer alters $@; regression introduced in 2.60.
** AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS now defines _ALL_SOURCE for Interix platforms.
** AS_HELP_STRING no longer underquotes its first argument; it also handles
the case where the first argument contains single-quoted commas.
For example, "AS_HELP_STRING([-a, [--arg[=foo]]], [bar])" produces:
" -a, --arg[=foo] bar"
Additionally, the macro now takes two additional arguments,
indent-column and wrap-column; these should not normally be needed,
but can be used to fine-tune how the output text is wrapped.
** AC_PROG_INSTALL now requires an install program that can install multiple
files into a target directory.
** The command 'autoconf -' now correctly processes a file from stdin.
** 'autoreconf -m' now honors $MAKE.
** For all of the directory arguments for 'configure', such as '--prefix'
or '--bindir', trailing slashes are stripped. As an example, if
tab completion in the user's shell appends trailing slashes, the
command './configure --prefix=/usr/' will still result in an
expanded libdir value of /usr/lib, not /usr//lib.
** `configure --help=recursive' now works in read-only trees and from
unconfigured build trees.
** If precious variables differ only in whitespace, then the cache consistency
check warns instead of fails, and reuses the old value.
** AT_BANNER is now documented.
** AT_SETUP now handles macro expansions properly when calculating line
length.
** Autotest now determines $srcdir correctly.
** Testsuites built by autotest now accept a -C/--directory=DIR option
to adjust the working directory prior to creating files.
** Autoconf now requires GNU M4 1.4.5 or later. Earlier versions of M4 have
a bug in macro tracing that interferes with the interaction between
Autoconf and Automake. GNU M4 1.4.11 or later is recommended. The
configure search for a working M4 is improved.
** For portability with the eventual M4 2.0, macros should no longer use
anything larger than $9 to refer to arguments.
** Documentation for m4sugar is improved.
- The following macros were previously available as undocumented
interfaces; the macros are now documented as stable interfaces.
__oline__ m4_assert m4_bmatch m4_bpatsubsts m4_car m4_case
m4_cdr m4_default m4_divert_once m4_divert_pop m4_divert_push
m4_divert_text m4_do m4_errprintn m4_fatal m4_flatten
m4_ifndef m4_ifset m4_ifval m4_ifvaln m4_location
m4_n m4_shiftn m4_strip m4_warn
- The following macros were previously available as undocumented
interfaces, but had bug fixes or semantic changes as part of this
release. Packages that relied on the undocumented behavior
should be analyzed to make sure they will still work with the
new documented behavior.
m4_cmp m4_list_cmp m4_join m4_map m4_map_sep m4_sign
m4_text_box m4_text_wrap m4_version_compare
- The m4_wrap macro used to have unspecified order, but now
guarantees FIFO order. m4_wrap_lifo was added to guarantee LIFO
order.
- Packages using the undocumented m4sugar macro m4_PACKAGE_VERSION
should consider using the new AC_AUTOCONF_VERSION instead.
- m4sugar macros that are not documented in the manual are still
deemed experimental, and should not be used outside of Autoconf.
** The m4sugar macros m4_append and m4_append_uniq, first documented in
2.60, have been fixed to treat both the string and the separator
arguments consistently with regards to quoting. Prior to this fix,
m4_append_uniq could mistakenly duplicate entries if the expansion
of the separator resulted in a different string (for example, if it
contained quotes, a comma, or a macro name). However, it means
that programs previously using
m4_append([name], [string], [[, ]])
are now using a four-character separator instead of the intended
comma and space. If you need portability to earlier versions of
Autoconf, you can insert the following snippet after AC_INIT but
before any other macro expansions, to enforce the new semantics:
m4_pushdef([m4_append], [m4_define([$1],
m4_ifdef([$1], [m4_defn([$1])[$3]])[$2])])
Additionally, m4_append_uniq now takes optional parameters that can
be used to take action depending on whether anything was appended,
and warns if a non-empty separator occurs within the string being
appended, since that can lead to duplicates.
** The following m4sugar macros are new:
m4_append_uniq_w m4_apply m4_combine m4_cond m4_count
m4_dquote_elt m4_echo m4_expand m4_ignore m4_make_list m4_max
m4_min m4_newline m4_shift2 m4_shift3 m4_unquote m4_wrap_lifo
** Warnings are now generated by default when an installer invokes
'configure' with an unknown --enable-* or --with-* option.
These warnings can be disabled with the new AC_DISABLE_OPTION_CHECKING
macro, or by invoking 'configure' with --disable-option-checking.
** Existing obsolete macros
The documentation for the following macros is adjusted to make it
more clear that they have previously been marked obsolete, as their
functionality can be accomplished by other macros. We have no
current plans to remove them from Autoconf.
AC_ENABLE AC_STRUCT_ST_BLKSIZE AC_STRUCT_ST_RDEV AC_WITH
** Newly obsolete macros
The following macros have been marked obsolete, as they only
perform a subset of AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS. We have no current
plans to remove them.
AC_AIX AC_GNU_SOURCE AC_ISC_POSIX AC_MINIX
** AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE is obsolescent.
The documentation now says that AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE is obsolescent: it
tests for problems that are so old that it is no longer of
practical importance on current systems. New programs need not use
AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE. We have no current plans to remove it.
** AC_DIAGNOSE, AC_WARNING, and AC_FATAL are obsolescent.
The documentation now favors the use of M4sugar macros m4_warn and
m4_fatal, since the naming makes it more obvious that the
diagnostics are associated with M4 expansion (ie. when running
`autoconf'), and offers less confusion with the AC_MSG_ERROR,
AC_MSG_FAILURE, and AC_MSG_WARN macros which manage diagnostics
when running `configure'. We have no current plans to remove these
macros.
* Major changes in Autoconf 2.61a (2006-12-11)
** AC_FUNC_FSEEKO was broken in 2.61; it didn't make fseeko and ftello visible
on many platforms. This has been fixed.
** AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED is now obsolete. It is still defined for backward
compatibility but it does nothing. The macro was already
obsolescent, as the last systems to have the problem were those
based on SVR2, which became obsolete in 1987. The macro had bugs
on some modern systems and could no longer be maintained reliably
due to lack of ancient systems to test it on.
** config.status now uses awk instead of sed for most substitutions, for speed.
- As a side effect multi-line values of substituted variables no
longer have a small limit in total size, though for portability
each line should not exceed the POSIX length limit for text lines.
- It is now documented that Makefile.in should not contain
overlapping variable occurrences, e.g., @VAR1@VAR2@.
Autoconf's behavior was always iffy in such cases, and the
awk implementation has changed the behavior.
** Many uses of 'echo' have been rewritten so that Autoconf-generated
scripts have fewer problems with strings or file names containing
embedded special characters such as backslash or leading "-". This
was implemented by using `printf '%s\n' "$foo"' instead of `echo
"$foo"' when printf works. Due to the implementation technique
used, Autoconf-generated scripts now run considerably more slowly
on ancient implementations lacking printf. However, this should
not be a problem, since Autoconf-generated scripts in practice
invariably find a more-modern shell these days.
Ignore temporary build files
make make install install stuff.
Bump NEWS.Debian.
Proposed solution for #462897: unconditionally sync keys between
normal gnupg home and caff gnupg home on startup, to cope with
changed keys.
2008/03/16
+ modify dlg_mouse_wgetch() to loop only on errors that it detects,
rather than on errors forwarded from dlg_getc(), in case those are
due to a disconnected terminal (report by Anatoli Sakhnik).

do not extend beyond the screen size.
+ use unctrl() to make inputstr.c work with Solaris curses.
> patches by Yura Kalinichenko:
+ extend pause widget to use ok/cancel buttons (the former giving the
same result as a timeout), rather than an exit-button.

Version 0.4.9 [2008-04-09]
=================================================================
+new !fix ~change -remove | focus: major feature improvements
+ RSS/Atom parser (req. python newt module >= 0.51)
Designed to be used with video host feeds. Parses and displays
found videos available for extraction. If the required newt module
is not found, the feature is disabled.
Note that the python feedparser module is now part of the clive
distribution, for more details, see the README file.
Option:
--rss (config: url_feed)
When the --rss option is used, the URLs are treated as RSS/Atom feed URLs,
for example:
% clive --rss http://youtube.com/rss/global/recently_featured.rss
Downstreamers: Python newt module is a new prerequisite. Note that the
program still runs without it, only the --rss feature is disabled.
FreeBSD: the newt library needs to be built with WITH_PYTHON,
for example:
% cd /usr/ports/devel/newt
% make WITH_PYTHON=yes install clean
Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/newt/+bug/110880
+ Dailymotion: Log-in support (sr #1834)
Options:
--dmotion-user=USERNAME (config: dmotion_id)
--dmotion-pass=PASSWORD (config: dmotion_password)
+ Metacafe: Family filter off (sr #1956)
The family filter is disabled for all extractions.
+ Youtube: Log-in support (sr #1953)
Resurrected the log-in support that was previously available in 0.2.x
but removed in 0.3.0 due to the complete program overhaul.
Options:
--youtube-user=USERNAME (config: youtube_id)
--youtube-pass=PASSWORD (config: youtube_password)
! ~/.clive/config; improved parsing
The parser is now more resistant to invalid values. clive will now also
exit if an error occurs while parsing.
! ~/.clive/config; output_if_file_exists
Accepts "RENAME" as it should have.
! Console; q_r_paste command
Crash at: "UnboundLocalError: local variable 'cmd' referenced before assignment"
~ --write-conf; increased verbosity
clive is now more verbose about found 3rd party programs.
~ --write-conf; sort commands
The written commands are now sorted alphabetically.
Version 0.4.8 [2008-03-31]
=================================================================
+new !fix ~change -remove | focus: minor bugfixes
+ Youtube: HTTP/415 No media fallback
Extract low quality (flv) video if better quality (mp4) is not available.
! Youtube: Partial support for continuing transfers
It is now be possible to continue partial downloads as long as they are
high-quality (mp4) videos.
Note that this fails utterly for the flv videos. It appears urlgrabber
appends a complete file at the end of the existing file when the host
refuses to continue transfer. Instead of bloating the code with the
conditions, continuing the youtube flv file transfers remains disabled.
! Dailymotion: improved media support
clive no more assumes 512x384 is the highest available quality. The
video page is now parsed for best available quality which clive extracts
unless the --low-quality option is being used. It should be noted that
most videos appear to have only the low-quality (flv) video available.
No media warning will be displayed if high quality video is not found
and the low quality video is extracted instead.
! Transfer rate calculations
File length offset is now used properly with files that are being
overwritten. This fixes the only-progress-percentage odditity is
being displayed.
! Youtube: New error messages
"error: country restriction/censorship"
"error: private video"
! --check-update,-u
Crash at: "TypeError: __init__() takes exactly 2 arguments (1 given)"
~ Reduce progress stdout flickering (sr #1944)
Progress is now rendered in one second intervals. clive will now also
display average transfer rate and total time elapsed when the transfer
completes.
~ Clean up
clive(1), INSTALL etc.
Version 0.4.7 [2008-03-17]
=================================================================
+new !fix ~change -remove | focus: major feature enhancements
+ GNU Autotools support
See the INSTALL file for the updated installation details.
+ urlgrabber integration
The urlgrabber module is now part of the source code distribution.
For more info, please read the README file.
Downstream maintainers: urlgrabber module is no longer a prerequisite
+ Cache
If caching is enabled, clive will collect data about visited URLs
to a sqlite3 database file (~/.clive/cache). Note that cache is only
available for Python >= 2.5. Also, depending on the system, the sqlite3
may not be installed with Python by default, e.g. on FreeBSD you need
to install it separately (databases/py-sqlite3).
Added also --no-cache and enable_cache. Caching is enabled by default.
+ Youtube: new default format
clive now defaults to extract the better quality (mp4) videos from Youtube.
The default behaviour can be overridden with the --low-quality option.
+ "Paste" option displayed at program start
The state for "paste from xclip" is now displayed when the program starts.
! Same output filename in URL batch
clive did not previously check the URLs in current batch for same output
filename. For example:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4505462782975458603http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=-4505462782975458603
Both URLs point to the same video, note the different TLD. If they were
fed to clive in same URL batch the program accepted them without any
scrutiny. This resulted clive to waste bandwidth downloading the same
file twice and overwriting the previously extracted video file.
clive now generates (--exist=rename) a new output filename for the last
URL.
! Dailymotion support
clive will now attempt to extract the higher resolution vide (mp4) _only_
if it is available. This was causing HTTP/404 errors for some dmotion URLs
with the previous release.
The new option --low-quality overrides this default behaviour.
! Status/progress stdout line breaking on some system configurations
This was caused by improper use of '\b' which would cause the lines

! Calculations for resumed transfers (patch #990)
The transfer rate calculations should no longer go berzerk for
resumed transfers.
"The problem is that when urlgrabber calls update(), the 'read'
parameter is the current size of the file. When you resume, you
need to discard the offset from the previous download or else
the calculations will be off." -- zythmer
~ clive(1)
The manual page was rewritten.
~ Accept-encoding is now always set to gzip
Removed the rather useless --no-gzip option from wasting space.
Note that compression is only used if the host supports it.
~ Configuration file format
The configuration file format has undergone several iterations of
changes over the last 12 months and this release introduces yet another
format. Wait for it. This one's final. For a comparison:
Then: {.., 'verbose':1, ..}
Now: enable_verbose="YES"
To get started, you can generate a "template" configuration file
with:
% clive --write-conf
The created file contains comments and all supported commands. clive
will also attempt to autodetect the 3rd party programs such as ffmpeg
and set the paths to these programs with recommended options.
~ File name changes in ~/.clive
config.py -> config
last.log -> recall
userdef.py -> custom.py
Note that since history is no longer used, the ~/.clive/history.log is
now obsolete and can be removed if it's still around.
~ Option --write-conf
Previously known as --conf-write. Writes the config file with default
program values. clive will now attempt to autodetect vlc, ffmpeg and
xclip.
~ Option --emit
Renamed to "--emit-csv". Standard output format was also changed.
From:
video: "extraction-url" "filename" "length"\n
To:
OK: "url","extraction-url","filename","length"\n
FAILED: "url","error-message"\n
Should be now more parsing-friendly.
~ Options changed
Much of the options were either renamed, merged, removed or otherwise
modified. Some new short options were added also.
~ Renamed --simulate
Renamed --simulate,-s to --no-extract,-n.
~ Tweaked warnings
Some of the warnings were rewritten.
~ Stdout overhaul
Much of the stdout messages were changed, e.g. "status:" and similar
were replaced with lines that make better use of the line space.
~ Options displayed at program start
Renamed "throttle" to "rate". Renamed "exists" to "exist".
~ sys.platform instead of platform.uname
Platform string is now constructed using the platform module.
- Logging features
More or less replaced by the new "cache" and "recall" features.
See also "File name changes" above.
- GUI features: --configure, --history
Rather than transforming clive into a CLI-GUI hybrid, I've decided
to remove the GUI elements. The code to these short-lived features
could still be reused for a GUI-only clive configruation tool later
if there's any demand for it.
Downstream maintainers: Tkinter is no longer used by clive.
- Mswindows support
Anyone familiar with the woe32 specific non-standard approach to
everything can probably relate to this, and even if python hides
much of the mswindows nonsense, I've decided not to bother myself
with it anymore. So instead of bloating the code base with a set
of conditions and exceptions for woe32, I've, hereby, removed
all of the ms-platform specific nonsense from the project.
Come to the unix side.
- distutils support (setup.py)
Starting from this release, clive uses GNU Autotools.
- stage6 support
Shut down service effective February 28, 2008
(http://www.stage6.com/blog/107/).
Newt is a windowing toolkit for text mode built from the slang
library. It allows color text mode applications to easily use
stackable windows, push buttons, check boxes, radio buttons, lists,
entry fields, labels, and displayable text. Scrollbars are supported,
and forms may be nested to provide extra functionality.
Besides the newt library, this package provides whiptail, which may
be used from shell scripts similarly to Savio Lam's "dialog". Newt
provides the textual interface for the Red Hat and Debian boot
disks.
This package contains the python bindings for newt.
