Special credit and thanks go to ispell's creator Geoff Kuenning.
|
|
|
|
|
Ispell affix compression code was used as the basis for the
|
|
|
|
|
affix code used in MySpell. Specifically Geoff's use of a
|
|
|
|
|
conds[] array that makes it easy to check if the conditions
|
|
|
|
|
required for a particular affix are present was very
|
|
|
|
|
ingenious! Kudos to Geoff. Very nicely done.

David Einstein (Deinst@world.std.com) developed an almost
|
|
|
|
|
complete rewrite of MySpell for use by the Mozilla project.
|
|
|
|
|
David and I are now working on parallel development tracks
|
|
|
|
|
to help our respective projects (Mozilla and OpenOffice.org)
|
|
|
|
|
and we will maintain full affix file and dictionary file
|
|
|
|
|
compatibility and work on merging our versions of MySpell
|
|
|
|
|
back into a single tree. David has been a significant help
|
|
|
|
|
in improving MySpell.

|
|
|
the Hungarian dictionary and he developed and contributed
|
|
|
|
|
extensive changes to MySpell including ...
|
|
|
|
|
* code to support compound words in MySpell
|
|
|
|
|
* fixed numerous problems with encoding case conversion tables.
|
|
|
|
|
* designed/developed replacement tables to improve suggestions
|
|
|
|
|
* changed affix file parsing to trees to greatly speed loading
|
|
|
|
|
* removed the need for malloc/free pairs in suffix_check which
|
|
|
|
|
speeds up spell checking in suffix rich languages by 20%

|
|

all from the it_IT OpenOffice.org team performed an
|
|
|
|
|
extremely detailed code review of MySpell and generated
|
|
|
|
|
fixes for bugs, leaks, and speedup improvements.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Simon Brouwer <simon.oo.o@xs4all.nl> for fixes and enhancements
|
|
|
|
|
that have greatly improved MySpell auggestions
|
|
|
|
|
* n-gram suggestions for an initcap word have an init. cap.
|
|
|
|
|
* fix for too many n-gram suggestions from specialized dictionary,
|
|
|
|
|
* fix for long suggestions rather than close ones in case of
|
|
|
|
|
dictionaries with many compound words (kompuuter)
|
|
|
|
|
* optionally disabling split-word suggestions (controlled
|
|
|
|
|
by NOSPLITSUGS line in affix file)
