includes <libintl.h>, then it may also pull in macro redefintions for
all of the *printf() functions. Unfortunately, macros do not mix well
with C++ code which expects to be able to partition names, e.g. printf
and vprintf, into the class namespace. (Mostly) fix this problem by
undefining printf and vprintf after <libintl.h> is included. This
addresses PR pkg/33577.
Complete list of changes from 0.60.2:
* Fixed bugs involving several of the C API functions.
* Fixed bug where `ultra' or `fast' mode will not return any
suggestions when soundslike lookup is not used.
* Made a minor, yet significant, optimization to the suggestion code.
This speed things up by an order of magnitude in some cases.
* Avoid using the slow ngram scan except when the `sug-mode' is
`slow' or `bad-speller'.
* Fixed a bug in curses mode which causes word-wrap to not work
correctly in some cases.
* Fixed a bug in pipe mode with a missing newline.
* Fixed the `spell' compatibility script.
* Several other minor bugs fixed.
* Made note about the change in behavior of the `-l' command line
switch.
* Other manual update/fixes.
* Updated to Libtool 1.5.18, Automake 1.9.6, and Makeinfo 4.8.
New in 0.60.2:
* Added the `munch-list' command to the aspell utility. The `munch'
program in the `myspell/' directory will disappear in Aspell 0.61.
The `munchlist' script will also likely disappear or be replaced
when Aspell 0.61 is released since it doesn't work correctly
anyway.
* Several important bug fixes some of which rendered some non-English
languages unusable.
* Other minor changes.
New in 0.60.1.1:
* Fix bug involving checking of capitalized word when affix
compression is used.
* Compile fixes.
* Added an option to disable using the "wide" curses version in case
it causes compile problems.
* Minor manual updates
* Avoided including some unnecessary files in the distribution.
New in 0.60.1:
* Lots of compile fixes for various platforms.
* Miscellaneous bug fixes.
* Added Nroff filter thanks to Sergey Poznyakoff.
* The default filter mode when in pipe mode is now nroff for
compatibility with Ispell.
* Added Texinfo filter.
* Added a section detailing the differences between Ispell and
Aspell.
* Updated the section on thread safety.
* Other miscellaneous manual changes such as updating the To Do and
Authors section.
Changes since 0.50.5:
* Added support for Affix Compression. Affix compression stores
the root word and then a list of prefixes and suffixes that
the word can take, and thus saves a lot of space. The codebase
comes from MySpell found in OpenOffice. It uses the same affix
file that OpenOffice (and Mozilla) use. Affix compression will
even work with soundslike lookup to a limited extent.
* Added support for accepting all input and printing all output
in UTF-8 or some other encoding different from the one Aspell
uses. This includes support for Unicode normalization. Aspell
can now support any language with no more than 210 distinct
characters, including different capitalizations and accents,
_even if_ there is not an existing 8-bit encoding that supports
the language.
* Added support for loadable filters and customizable filter
modes thanks to Christoph Hintermüller.
* Enhanced SGML filter to also support skipping sgml tags such
as "script" blocks thanks to Tom Snyder.
* Added gettext support thanks to Sergey Poznyakoff
* Reworked the compiled dictionary format. Compiled dictionaries
now take up less space (less than 80% for the English language)
and creating them is significantly faster (over 4 times for
the English language).
* Reworked suggestion code. It is significantly faster when
dealing with short words (up to 10 times). Also added support
for MySpell Replacement Tables and n-gram lookup. In addition,
added basic support for compound words.
* Manual has has been converted to texinfo format thanks to
the work of Chris Martin.
* Reworked the build system so that a single Makefile is used
for most of the code.
* All data, by default, is now included in `LIBDIR/aspell-0.60'.
Also added a built time option to increment the major version
number of the shared library. This should allow both Aspell
version 0.50 and 0.60 to coexist. The major version number is
_not_ incremented by default as Aspell 0.60 is binary compatible
with Aspell 0.50.
NOTE: this is not true for pkgsrc.
* The code to handle dictionaries has been rewritten. Because
of this support for the dictionary option `strip-accents' has
been removed. In addition the `ignore-accents' option is
currently unimplemented.
* Lots of other minor changes due to massive overhaul of the
source code.
changes since 0.50.2:
# Fixed major bug in pipe mode which caused the last character to be
chopped off words before they were stored.
# Minor formating fixes in the manual.
# Minor changes in URL filter to avoid treating the double quote character
as part of the URL, and to avoid treating words ending in more than one
period as a URL.
# Document fixes in Aspell API
# Small compile fixes, including one for GCC 3.3
# Updated Win32 section since a port now exists thanks to Thorsten Maerz.
# Complain instead of doing nothing or aborting for unimplemented functions
in Aspell utility.
# Portability bug fixes.
# Upgraded to Autoconf 2.57, Automake 1.7.7, Libtool 1.5 (no longer use
CVS version of libtool).

Aspell is an Open Source spell checker designed to eventually replace
Ispell. Its main feature is that it does a much better job of coming up
with possible suggestions than Ispell does. In fact recent tests shows
that it even does better than Microsoft Word 97's spell checker in some
cases. In addition it has both compile time and run time support for other
non English languages. Aspell is also a library however the recommend way
to use aspell is through the Pspell library as the actual interface to the
aspell library is constantly changing.
