Support for aspell --- LyX 2.0 onwards

[F M Salter]

In the wiki new restrictions are indicated which seem to imply the 
withdrawal of support for aspell.
Aspell dictionary version 6 is discussed.  However version 7 is now 
available which works with aspell 6!


It appears that hunspell is being presented as the spell checker of 
choice.  Is this the case?


I find that for spell checking english (gb),  hunspell is almost 
incapable of handling punctuation correctly!
This has been a problem for many years and it seems to be that no 
improvement is being considered!

Aspell is significantly better.

What future changes if any are being planned for linux users as the 
apparent reason seems to relate to Windows inadequacies?

At least on Linux LyX 2.1.x can be built with support for Aspell (the
library), and this seems to work fine. And I haven't heard any noises
on the list wrt Aspell being completely dropped...

Cite from wiki:
Note: Beginning with 2.0 support for the aspell command line program has been 
dropped. Although the aspell library (aspell 0.60.x) is still supported, 
Windows binaries are compiled without this feature.

For Mac OS X aspell support is always included too.

I asked this question as there is little in the documentation about 
spell checking.
I attempted to use hunspell in lyx and found for my work that the 
suggested corrections were few
and frequently strange with what would appear to be obvious 
suggestions missing.

While this comment is reassuring, the completely dropped seems to 
imply a preference for hunspell,

which is significantly inferior to aspell for my use with English English!

This is partly what triggered my questions.  I could not find any 
reference in the documentation
to the significance of the withdrawal of the command line support, 
mentioned above and whether
this had any longer term implications.  The general tenor of the text 
appeared to favour the use of hunspell.


If I now understand the situation correctly,  aspell will continue to be 
available indefinitely

From memory, aspell CLI support was dropped about 2 major releases
back (about 4-5 years ago). Since then no discussions took place on
dropping aspell library support, so I assume that this is not on the
agenda.
