A new pre-release snapshot of the next stable version of Aspell is now
available at:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/aspell-0.60.8-20190921.tar.gz
Important changes from from Aspell 0.60.7:
Fix an buffer over-read as already announced. Unfortunately it has the
potential to break some applications. See the manual for more info.
Changes from last snapshot (20190817)
* Add new 'wordlists' option, which is a list of UTF-8 files that
contain additional words to accept.
* Provide support for checking camelCase words.
* The 'clean' option and command will no longer split a word.
Changes so far (from Aspell 0.60.7):
* Add Markdown filter.
* When typo analysis is used, ensure that possible typos are listed
before other suggestions. Also fix a bug so that suggestions that
split a word using a space or hyphen are not always first.
* Change ‘ultra’ suggestion mode to only find words that are within
one-edit distance or have the same soundslike.
* To prevent a potentially unbounded buffer over-read Aspell no
longer supports null-terminated UCS-2 and UCS-4 encoded strings
with the original C API.
* Fix a bug in ‘AspellDocumentChecker’ that prevented it from working
with UCS-2 and UCS-4 encoded strings.
* Implement ‘aspell filter’ command.
* Remove unused ‘sug-edit-dist’ option.
* In order to work with the new Markdown filter
‘AspellDocumentChecker’ now expects the document a line at a time.
If the document is split on white space characters instead, nothing
will break, but new filters such as the Markdown filter may give
incorrect results.
* Fix various crashes and other problems found by Google’s OSS-Fuzz.
I plan to release Aspell 0.60.8 sometime in the coming weeks.
I am not sure yet, but Aspell 0.60.8 might be the last release before Aspell
0.62. Planned changes for Aspell 0.62 include some API additions and a switch
to using C++11 with select C++14 features. Aspell 0.61 was the planned next
major release back in 2011 so to avoid confusion that version number will be
skipped.
