Dear Maintainer,

Verbiste does not follow the 1990 reform of French spelling. For a summary of
the new spelling rules, see for example:

 http://www.orthographe-recommandee.info/regles.htm

More precisely, the following modifications should be incorporated into
Verbiste:

- it should accept revised spellings where the “accent circonflexe” has
  disappeared, like in “connaitre” or “entrainer”;

- it should implement the change of accent in some verbs, like “je cèderai”
  (instead of “je céderai”)

- it should show the new conjugation of verbs ending with “-eler” and “-eter”,
  like “j’amoncèle” (instead of “j’amoncelle”).

Ideally Verbiste should provide three modes: one where only the old spelling is
used, one where only the new one is used, and one where both are used. Since
both the old and new spellings are considered correct, at least the last of the
three proposed mode should be implemented.

Best,

--
