22 * Make wamerican no longer depend on dictionaries-common, while
23 using its features if present: (Closes: #487977).
24 - wamerican.links: Install /usr/share/dict/words link to
26 - wamerican.post{inst,rm}: Run dictionaries-common stuff only
28 - wamerican.config: Check that dictionaries-common is installed
29 and a recent version (having elanguages support) before trying
31 - debian/rules: Do not auto-generate maintainer scripts for
32 wamerican, but use the new hardcoded ones. Split
33 installdeb-wordlist stuff for wamerican and the rest of the
34 wordlists, moving both to the install target.
35 - debian/control: Remove dictionaries-common dependency and
36 include a conflicts against dictionaries-common (<< 0.98) where
37 /usr/share/dict/words link diversion is included.
39 - Bumped Standards-Version to 3.7.3. No changes needed.
40 - Moved debhelper dependency from Build-Depends-Indep to
41 Build-Depends. debhelper is required to run the clean target
42 of debian/rules (Policy Manual, section 7.6).

70 american, canadian, and british word lists. Upstream word lists are
71 now better organized; we take advantage of that by adding the new
72 size "40" word lists to the standard lists, the size "55" word lists
73 to the -large lists, and the size "80" word lists to the (new) -huge
75 Closes: #317422 dictionaries-common: sightlines/metallicity
76 "Sightlines" is now in the -huge lists; "metallicity" is only in the
77 upstream size "95" lists, so (by my policy) even the -huge lists
78 won't include it. If you want that, and all the other really odd
79 words, please install and use the Debian "scowl" package.
80 * Added "Debian" and "Debian's" to english-proper-names.50, which
81 gets them into the standard, -large, and -huge lists.

130 * New upstream package (SCOWL) replaces previous upstream sources for
131 wenglish and wbritish; wenglish had been built from a (possibly)
132 non-free source (linux-words), and wbritish had been built from a
133 relatively incomplete source (words extracted from the ispell british
134 dictionary). SCOWL (Spell-Checker Oriented Word Lists) is a
135 collection of English word lists maintained by Kevin Atkinson at
136 http://wordlist.sf.net, is completely Free, is of significantly
137 better quality, and is supported upstream.
138 Thanks to Brian Nelson <nelson@bignachos.com> for suggesting we use
139 the SCOWL wordlists. This source package (scowl) now creates the
140 following binary packages:
141 wamerican, wamerican-small, wamerican-large,
142 wbritish, wbritish-small, wbritish-large,
143 wcanadian, wcanadian-small, wcanadian-large,
145 wenglish (dummy package to install wamerican, for upgrades)
146 Closes: #170490: wenglish: Package contains a non-DFSG-compliant list
147 Closes: #141707: wbritish: seems to be missing some very basic words
148 Closes: #165251: wbritish: Missing word ('behemoth')
149 Closes: #176875: Gullible isn't in the dictionary
150 Closes: #147959: wenglish: Spelling "plebian" is nonstandard
151 Closes: #175906: wenglish: should be called wamerican
152 * My sincere gratitude to Agustin Martin Domingo for paying attention to
153 ispell and the english word lists while I was preoccupied, and for his
154 NMUs during the dictionaries-common transition.
155 Closes: #164257: wbritish: Please update your wbritish package to IDWP new policy
156 Closes: #164260: wenglish: Please update your wenglish package to IDWP new policy
157 * 'Pharoah' is only in the "huge" SCOWL dictionary, which is normally
158 considered unreasonable for spell checking (too many false positives);
159 I suggest you add it to your own personal list, or install the scowl
160 package and create the huge list (or one customized to your needs).
161 If you disagree with upstream's classification of that word, please
162 reopen the bug report with some explanation, and I'll happily forward
