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

201 * New upstream package (SCOWL) replaces previous upstream sources for
202 wenglish and wbritish; wenglish had been built from a (possibly)
203 non-free source (linux-words), and wbritish had been built from a
204 relatively incomplete source (words extracted from the ispell british
205 dictionary). SCOWL (Spell-Checker Oriented Word Lists) is a
206 collection of English word lists maintained by Kevin Atkinson at
207 http://wordlist.sf.net, is completely Free, is of significantly
208 better quality, and is supported upstream.
209 Thanks to Brian Nelson <nelson@bignachos.com> for suggesting we use
210 the SCOWL wordlists. This source package (scowl) now creates the
211 following binary packages:
212 wamerican, wamerican-small, wamerican-large,
213 wbritish, wbritish-small, wbritish-large,
214 wcanadian, wcanadian-small, wcanadian-large,
216 wenglish (dummy package to install wamerican, for upgrades)
217 Closes: #170490: wenglish: Package contains a non-DFSG-compliant list
218 Closes: #141707: wbritish: seems to be missing some very basic words
219 Closes: #165251: wbritish: Missing word ('behemoth')
220 Closes: #176875: Gullible isn't in the dictionary
221 Closes: #147959: wenglish: Spelling "plebian" is nonstandard
222 Closes: #175906: wenglish: should be called wamerican
223 * My sincere gratitude to Agustin Martin Domingo for paying attention to
224 ispell and the english word lists while I was preoccupied, and for his
225 NMUs during the dictionaries-common transition.
226 Closes: #164257: wbritish: Please update your wbritish package to IDWP new policy
227 Closes: #164260: wenglish: Please update your wenglish package to IDWP new policy
228 * 'Pharoah' is only in the "huge" SCOWL dictionary, which is normally
229 considered unreasonable for spell checking (too many false positives);
230 I suggest you add it to your own personal list, or install the scowl
231 package and create the huge list (or one customized to your needs).
232 If you disagree with upstream's classification of that word, please
233 reopen the bug report with some explanation, and I'll happily forward
