+ Closes: #333207 wamerican-large: new upstream release 6 available
+ * debian/rules and debian/control: Added -huge versions of the
+ american, canadian, and british word lists. Upstream word lists are
+ now better organized; we take advantage of that by adding the new
+ size "40" word lists to the standard lists, the size "55" word lists
+ to the -large lists, and the size "80" word lists to the (new) -huge
+ lists.
+ Closes: #317422 dictionaries-common: sightlines/metallicity
+ "Sightlines" is now in the -huge lists; "metallicity" is only in the
+ upstream size "95" lists, so (by my policy) even the -huge lists
+ won't include it. If you want that, and all the other really odd
+ words, please install and use the Debian "scowl" package.
+ * Added "Debian" and "Debian's" to english-proper-names.50, which
+ gets them into the standard, -large, and -huge lists.

+
+ * New upstream package (SCOWL) replaces previous upstream sources for
+ wenglish and wbritish; wenglish had been built from a (possibly)
+ non-free source (linux-words), and wbritish had been built from a
+ relatively incomplete source (words extracted from the ispell british
+ dictionary). SCOWL (Spell-Checker Oriented Word Lists) is a
+ collection of English word lists maintained by Kevin Atkinson at
+ http://wordlist.sf.net, is completely Free, is of significantly
+ better quality, and is supported upstream.
+ Thanks to Brian Nelson <nelson@bignachos.com> for suggesting we use
+ the SCOWL wordlists. This source package (scowl) now creates the
+ following binary packages:
+ wamerican, wamerican-small, wamerican-large,
+ wbritish, wbritish-small, wbritish-large,
+ wcanadian, wcanadian-small, wcanadian-large,
+ scowl,
+ wenglish (dummy package to install wamerican, for upgrades)
+ Closes: #170490: wenglish: Package contains a non-DFSG-compliant list
+ Closes: #141707: wbritish: seems to be missing some very basic words

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

+ * No longer use relative symlinks between top-level directories.

+ default dictionary language, unless the corresponding dictionary is
