Heads up!

I have tested compilation with php for my platforms, up to the last
snapshot (not the final yet) and it is working, but compilation of this
pspell/aspell library relies on solid C++ support, meaning:
-- libtool 1.4e (CVS) is needed to compile it and get a C API, without
having to link stdc++.
-- does not work or is remotely compilable on win32

Additionally:
-- maintainer email has changed
-- download location has changed
-- still a mix-up with Savannah/Sourceforge
-- old pspell is dead.

This needs solid QA, especially since it's now got GNU attached to it,
which will also provide some marketing...

To eliminate all confusion, I think the aspell extension should be nuked
in 4.3 and 'severely deprecated' in 4.2.3.

Additionally an alias '--with-new-aspell' should map to --with-pspell, and
introduced in 4.2.3, so people can get used to it.

What should happen to function names, is another interesting topic...

Resent-Subject: [aspell-devel] [aspell-announce] Administrative Changes Due
 to the Release of GNU Aspell 0.50


Due to the release of GNU Aspell 0.50 please note the following changes:

*) My new email address is kevina@[...].org.

*) All user related questions for Aspell should go to aspell-user@[...].org.
   Aspell-devel should only be used to discuss the actual development of 
   Aspell.

*) The aspell-user list at sourceforge is no longer to be used.  Please 
   use the new aspell-user lists at gnu.org.

*) All bug report, patches, and feature requests, should use the 
   Sourceforge tools instead of the ones on Savannah.  The Savannah 
   tools lack some key features that I need.

*) The old Aspell/Pspell combination is now considered completely dead by 
   me.  Do not expect any support on them from me.  Any bug reports, 
   etc on the old Aspell/Pspell will be deleted.

*) The new download site for GNU Aspell is ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/ 

Thank you,
Kevin Atkinson
The sole Aspell Maintainer
