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

191 scowl (5-1) unstable; urgency=low
193 * New upstream package (SCOWL) replaces previous upstream sources for
194 wenglish and wbritish; wenglish had been built from a (possibly)
195 non-free source (linux-words), and wbritish had been built from a
196 relatively incomplete source (words extracted from the ispell british
197 dictionary). SCOWL (Spell-Checker Oriented Word Lists) is a
198 collection of English word lists maintained by Kevin Atkinson at
199 http://wordlist.sf.net, is completely Free, is of significantly
200 better quality, and is supported upstream.
201 Thanks to Brian Nelson <nelson@bignachos.com> for suggesting we use
202 the SCOWL wordlists. This source package (scowl) now creates the
203 following binary packages:
204 wamerican, wamerican-small, wamerican-large,
205 wbritish, wbritish-small, wbritish-large,
206 wcanadian, wcanadian-small, wcanadian-large,

213 Closes: #147959: wenglish: Spelling "plebian" is nonstandard
214 Closes: #175906: wenglish: should be called wamerican
215 * My sincere gratitude to Agustin Martin Domingo for paying attention to
216 ispell and the english word lists while I was preoccupied, and for his
217 NMUs during the dictionaries-common transition.
218 Closes: #164257: wbritish: Please update your wbritish package to IDWP new policy
219 Closes: #164260: wenglish: Please update your wenglish package to IDWP new policy
220 * 'Pharoah' is only in the "huge" SCOWL dictionary, which is normally
221 considered unreasonable for spell checking (too many false positives);
222 I suggest you add it to your own personal list, or install the scowl
223 package and create the huge list (or one customized to your needs).
224 If you disagree with upstream's classification of that word, please
225 reopen the bug report with some explanation, and I'll happily forward
