- Removed the space after between the -L and the directory name in the pspell-module/ Makefile which caused problems on some platforms.
- Added the configure option AM_MAINTAINER_MODE to avoid enabling rules which often causes generated build files to be rebuild with the wrong version of Libtool by default. I don't know why I didn't think to do this a long time ago.

This included only using STL features found in the standard version of C++. (Which means Aspell will no longer require using the SGI version of the STL) This should also make compiling C++ under non-gcc compilers a lot simpler. Please not that Aspell still has some problems with the upcoming Gcc 3.0 compiler (see section for more info).

- Added a module for the newly released Pspell. It will get installed with the rest of aspell.
- Miscellaneous other bug fixes.

- Improved the TEX filter so that it will accept '@' at the begging of a command name and ignore trailing '*'s. It also now has better defaults for which parameters to skip.
- Reworked the main dictionary so that it can be memory mapped in. This decreases startup time and allows multiple aspell processes to use the same memory for the main word list. This also also made Aspell 64 bit clean so that it should work on an alpha now.
- Fix so that aspell can compile on platforms that gnu as is not available for.
- Fixed issue with flock so it would compile on FreeBSD.
- Minor changes in the code to make it more C++ compliant although I am sure there will still be problems when using some other compiler other than gcc or egcs.

# Changes from .28.3 to .29 (Feb 6, 2000)

- Fixed a bug in the pipe mode with lines that start with ``^$$''.
- Added support for ignoring all words less than or equal to a specified length
- New soundslike code based thanks to the contribution of Björn Jacke. It now gets all of its data from a table making it easier for other people to add soundslike code for their native language. He also converted the metaphone algorithm to table form, eliminating the need for the old metaphone code.
- Major redesign of the suggestion code for better results.
- Changed the format of the personal word lists. In most cases it should be converted automatically.
- Changed the format of the main word list.
- Name space cleanup for more consistent naming. I now use name spaces which means that gcc 2.8.* and egcs 1.0.* will no longer cut it.
- Used file locks when reading and saving the personal dictionaries so that it truly multiprocess safe.
- Added rudimentary filter support.
- Reworked the configuration system once again. However, the changes to the end user who does not directly use my library should be minimal.
- Rewrote my code that handles parsing command line parameters so that it no longer uses popt as it was causing to many problems and didn't integrate well with my new configuration system.
- Fixed pipe mode so that it will properly ignore lines starting with '~' for better ispell compatibility.

# Changes from .24 to .25 (Nov 23, 1998)

- Total rework of how the main word list is stored. Start up time decreased to about 1/3 of what it was in .24 and memory usage decreased to about 2/3. (When used with the provided word list on a Linux system). Also the format and default locations of the main word list data files changed in the process and the data is now machine dependent. The personal word list format, however, stayed the same.
- Changed the scoring method to produce slightly better results with words like the vs. teh. And other simpler misspellings where two letters are swapped.

- Added the to_phoneme and have_phoneme methods to the SC_Language class.
- Added the to_phoneme method to the aspell class.
- Added the framework for being able to learn from the users misspelling. Right now it just keep a log of replacements.
- Re did stl_rope-30.diff. For some reason the version of patch on my system refused it.
- Rewrite of the ``Using as a replacement for Ispell'' section and added the run-with-aspell utility as a replacement of the old method of mapping Ispell to Aspell.

- Major redesign or the scoring method. It now uses absolute distances rather than relative scores for more consistent results. See suggest.cc for more info.

- The suggest_ultra method temporally does nothing. It should be working again by the next release.

# Changes from .20 to .21 (Oct 13, 1998)

- Added documentation for aspell::Error
- Changed the library name from libspell to libaspell. It should never have been libspell in the first place. Sorry for the incompatibility.
- Added as_error.hh to the list of files copied to the include directory so that you can actually use the library outside of the source dir.
- Fixed bug that caused a segmentation fault with words where the only suggestions was inserting a space or hyphen such as in ``ledgerline''.
- Added the score method to aspell.
- Changed the scoring method to deal with word when the user uses "f" in place of "ph" a lot better.

# Changes from .11 to .20 (Oct 10, 1998)

- Name change. Everything that was Kspell is now Aspell. Sorry, the name Kspell was already used by KDE and I didn't want to cause any confusion.
- Fixed a bug that causes a segmentation fault when the HOME environmental variable doesn't exist.

# Changes from .10 to .11 (Sep 12, 1998)
