2005-08-26: Hunspell 1.0.9 release
* improved related character map suggestion
* improved ngram suggestion
------ examples for ngram improvement (O=old, N = new ngram suggestions) --

O: supermen, newspapermen, empowerment, endangerment, preferments,
preferment, permanent, preferment's, permanently, impermanent
N: permanent, supermen, preferment
Note: new suggestions are also weighted with longest common subsequence,
first letter and common character positions

O: pimpernel's, pimpernel, pimpernels, permanently, permanents, permanent,
supernatant, impermanent, semipermanent, impermanently

relevant affixes ('s, s and ly)

ornament, ornamentals, ornamental, ornamentally
N: ornamental, ornament, tournament

obviates, obviate, Travus

Misikéidéiben, Misikékéiben, Misikéikéiben, Misikéiméiben, Mississippiiben
N: Mississippiben, Mississippiiben, Misiiben
Note: Suggesting not relevant affixes was the biggest fault in ngram
suggestion for languages with a lot of affixes.
--------------- end of examples --------------------
* support twofold prefix cutting
* lots of other improvements and bug fixes (see ChangeLog)
* test Hunspell with 54 OpenOffice.org dictionaries:

In en_AU dictionary, there is an abbrevation with two dots (`eqn..'), but
`eqn.' is missing. Presumably it is a dictionary bug. Myspell also
haven't accepted it.
Hungarian dictionary contains pseudoroots and forbidden words.
Unmunch haven't supported these features yet, and generates bad words, too.
* check affix rules and OOo dictionaries. Detected bugs in cs_CZ,
es_ES, es_NEW, es_MX, lt_LT, nn_NO, pt_PT, ro_RO, sk_SK and sv_SE dictionaries).
