[aspell-devel] [aspell-announce] Administrative Changes Due to the Release of GNU Aspell 0.50 (fwd)

Heads up! I have tested compilation with php for my platforms, up to the last snapshot (not the final yet) and it is working, but compilation of this pspell/aspell library relies on solid C++ support, meaning: -- libtool 1.4e (CVS) is needed to compile it and get a C API, without having to link stdc++. -- does not work or is remotely compilable on win32 Additionally: -- maintainer email has changed -- download location has changed -- still a mix-up with Savannah/Sourceforge -- old pspell is dead. This needs solid QA, especially since it's now got GNU attached to it, which will also provide some marketing... To eliminate all confusion, I think the aspell extension should be nuked in 4.3 and 'severely deprecated' in 4.2.3. Additionally an alias '--with-new-aspell' should map to --with-pspell, and introduced in 4.2.3, so people can get used to it. What should happen to function names, is another interesting topic... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 23 Aug 2002 17:35:53 -0400 (EDT) From: Kevin Atkinson <kevina@gnu.org> To: aspell-announce@gnu.org, aspell-user@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [aspell-devel] [aspell-announce] Administrative Changes Due to the Release of GNU Aspell 0.50 Resent-Date: Sat, 24 Aug 2002 00:23:59 +0200 (CEST) Resent-From: Melvyn Sopacua <mdev@idg.nl> Resent-To: msopacua@idg.nl Resent-Subject: [aspell-devel] [aspell-announce] Administrative Changes Due to the Release of GNU Aspell 0.50 Due to the release of GNU Aspell 0.50 please note the following changes: *) My new email address is kevina@gnu.org. *) All user related questions for Aspell should go to aspell-user@gnu.org. Aspell-devel should only be used to discuss the actual development of Aspell. *) The aspell-user list at sourceforge is no longer to be used. Please use the new aspell-user lists at gnu.org. *) All bug report, patches, and feature requests, should use the Sourceforge tools instead of the ones on Savannah. The Savannah tools lack some key features that I need. *) The old Aspell/Pspell combination is now considered completely dead by me. Do not expect any support on them from me. Any bug reports, etc on the old Aspell/Pspell will be deleted. *) The new download site for GNU Aspell is ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/ Thank you, Kevin Atkinson The sole Aspell Maintainer -- http://kevin.atkinson.dhs.org _______________________________________________ Aspell-announce mailing list Aspell-announce@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/aspell-announce _______________________________________________ Aspell-devel mailing list Aspell-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/aspell-devel
