I noticed that since last week I got always an extensions update for the
bundled English dictionary when I work/test with a new profile.
This is expected and it has been discussed extensively on both the l10n
and dev list. The best way to catch up is probably that you look for
messages from Marco Pinto.
We bundle 2 dictionaries which seems to be English. I am not sure what
the difference is or which one should be used. I am wondering why it is
different and why nl and ru doesn't bundle the same as en*, de or it.
One is a dictionary for multiple variants of English (en-US, en-GB...);
the other one is for en-US only.
[ language=en.* || language=de || language=it ]

"dict-en.oxt"
This needs to be updated, it's documented here
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124127
and I will take care of it later this week.
But more confusing do I find the fact that the notified update download
a dictionary with the name "dict-en-marcoagpinto-20140107.oxt". What is
this for an dictionary and is it correct that it uses the same extension
identifier than "dict-en.oxt". Why is the name part of the file name?
It is correct, since the extension was reassigned to Marco after he
volunteered to make new releases. The fact that the OXT is named
dict-en-marcoagpinto-20140107.oxt and not simply dict-en.oxt should
indeed be fixed, it doesn't harm but it's easier to be consistent.
If this is the intended new one I would suggest to update the existing
"dict-en.oxt" asap that we bundle this new one. Or if not use a
different extension identifier.
Identifier must be the same, see above. But indeed let's simplify the
name in Marco's next release.
We should avoid that we bundle an old dictionary with 4.1 and all new
users get directly an extension update.
Obviously. Again, this has been discussed at length on the l10n and dev
lists.
Any further information from people who knows more about the details?
I think I summarized most of the discussion. But looking for messages
from Marco in the l10n and dev archives will bring you up-to-date. And
the next actions would be:
1) Marco releases his next update during this week (or at his earliest
convenience) and names it simply dict-en.oxt
2) I address https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124127
bundling his new version.
3) We keep the dictionary frozen until 4.1 is released, publishing new
versions only some weeks after release.

Andrea.
