A new Aspell 0.61 snapshot is not available at:
   ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/aspell-0.61-20071015.tar.gz

Changes which will appear in 0.61 include:

    * Added a generic conversion (genconv) filter for converting from old
      multi-charter ASCII encodings to single-character encoding such as
      Unicode.

    * Added support for recognizing TeX and Texinfo commands used to
      encode non-ASCII letters as well as support for skipping over Tex
      hyphens.

    * Rewrote the document checker interface to correctly handle the case
      when the replacement is more than one word.

    * Be able to store the same base word multiple times ie "foo/x",
      "foo/y", which makes sense when cross products are involved.

    * Other minor enhancements and bug fixes.

Please test and out and report any bugs you find at:
   http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=100245&group_id=245&func=browse
Just be sure to mention that is is an Aspell 0.61 (and not 0.60) bug.

I have also updated the TODO list at http://aspell.net to include adding 
support useful Hunspell features and to Support more than one spell 
checker engine.  As always I would appreciate any help I can get in this 
area.

For specific things I want to get done for 0.61 see the file "TODO-0.61" 
in the snapshot.

I will create a new snapshot as needed and will announce the changes to 
[email protected].
