6.0: August 10, 2004 Updated to SCOWL 6 which avoided using the original Ispell dictionaries as they were a source of too many errors, among other changes. Added en_GB-ize dictionary (British with "ize" spelling). Added en-variant_* auxiliary dictionaries. Avoided using the strip-accents options since Aspell 0.60 no longer supports it. Added affix support for the aspell6 package. Affix compression is not used though. 0.51-0: January 3, 2003 Updated to SCOWL 5 which: Added variants that were not really spelling variants (such as forwards) Removed some spelling variants and other strange words from the word list (for example meaneing). Removed rarely used inflections of a word. Removed the DEC Word List due to the questionable license and because removing it will not seriously decrease the quality of SCOWL (there are a few less proper names). Among others.
