Release Candidate 1 for Aspell 0.60.7 is now available at:
   ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/aspell-0.60.7-rc1.tar.gz

The main changes from the last pre-release snapshot are compile fixes.
If you where having any compile problems with previous versions of Aspell 
please test this version out and let me know if it works for you at 
[email protected] or filling an issue (see http://aspell.net for details).

GNU Aspell 0.60.7 should be out sometime in the next two months and will be 
announced to the aspell-announce list.  Another release candidate may be made 
available but it will only be announced to the aspell-devel list.


Changes from 0.60.7-20110705:

      * Various compile fixes for newer version of Gcc and Clang.

      * Fix VPATH builds.

      * Use utf-8 encoding for manual instead of iso-8859-1.

Changes from 0.60.6.1:

     * Add partial support for recognizing the Unicode apostrophe (') in
       words.  In particular Aspell will accept the Unicode apostrophe
       when the language uses an ISO Latin charset that doesn't already
       have a Unicode apostrophe.  For now, Aspell will still use the
       ASCII version in suggestions.

     * Detect when a dictionary compiled on a 32-bit machine is used on a
       64-bit one (and vise versa), as due to an oversight, compiled
       dictionaries depend on more than the endianness.  Also added a
       compile time option to remove this dependency, but at the cost of
       breaking compatibility with already compiled dictionaries on
       64-bit systems.

     * In addition to outputting a warning when building with NDEBUG
       defined also include NDEBUG in the version string.

     * Other minor updates and bug fixes.
