Hi, Note that the mozilla symlinks mentioned in the changelog are the old xx-YY links, not the xx_YY ones. If some dictionaries still use the old hyphen symlinks in current hunspell dir (not in old dict for backwards compatibility), is indeed a bug in them. The lowbar symlinks are intended for hunspell and Openoffice.org. For instance, for Spanish if es_CO links are not added, Openoffice will not show Spanish (Colombia) as an available language. The same for hunspell, setting LANG=es_CO will make $ hunspell my.txt not find a dictionary unless that link is set (or the dictionary is explicitly selected). The drawback of the xx_YY symlinks are more entries in Mozilla*. Cheers, -- Agustin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
