Please send Dico bug reports to Version 2.2.90 (Git) * IPv6 support * Guile 2.x support * Implement info and description for gcide dictionary. * Added manpages Version 2.2, 2012-03-04 * Configuration changes ** load-module The load-module form allows for a statement use, e.g.: load-module word; The above statement is equivalent to: load-module word { command "word"; } Either string or list of strings is accepted as argument. The latter is useful for loading several modules with a single statement, e.g.: load-module (stratall,substr,word); * New modules ** gcide This module provides support for GNU Collaborative International Dictionary of English. ** wordnet This module provides support for WordNet, a lexical database for the English language developed in the Princeton University and distributed under a BSD style license. ** word This module provides the following strategies: word "Match separate words within headwords" first "Match the first word within headwords" last "Match the last word within headwords" ** nprefix Provides the nprefix strategy. It is similar to prefix but returns the specified range of matches. For example MATCH nprefix ## returns at most headwords whose prefix matches , skipping first unique matches. ** pcre Provides matching strategy based on Perl regular expressions. ** pam Implements PAM authentication. * New utility: gcider "Gcider" is a window-based application for browsing the GNU Collaborative International Dictionary of English (see http://www.gnu.org/software/gcide). Version 2.1, 2010-07-07 * Normalize exit codes. The dicod server uses exit codes from sysexits.h. * Replies to MATCH command. The dictorg backend filters out duplicate entries from MATCH replies. Only the first one from a sequence of such duplicates is retained. * New configuration statements. ** prepend-load-path Acts much the same as module-load-path, but adds directories at front of the default Dico module directory. * Strategies ** All The `all' strategy has been re-implemented as a loadable module. To enable this strategy in daemon, load the `stratall' module: load-module stratall { command "stratall"; } ** Substr New strategy `substr' matches a substring anywhere in the headword. To enable this strategy, load the `substr' module: load-module substr { command "substr"; } * LDAP Dicod now supports LDAP as an underlying mechanism for storing user databases. The LDAP support is loaded as a module: load-module ldap { command "ldap"; } See the documentation, subsection 3.3.3.2 "LDAP Databases", for a detailed description. * Dicoweb Improved handling of databases without a descriptive name (previous version would throw exception for such cases). The file settings.py renamed to settings-sample.py. The file static/opensearch.xml has been moved to templates. If you are upgrading from an earlier version, you may safely remove it. * Bugfixes: ** Fixed improper handling of conversion errors in levenshtein.c (debian #582692) ** Removed the use of fixed-size buffer in dictorg.c (fixes debian #582708) Version 2.0, 2009-03-29 Initial version. ========================================================================= Copyright information: Copyright (C) 2008-2010, 2012-2014 Sergey Poznyakoff Permission is granted to anyone to make or distribute verbatim copies of this document as received, in any medium, provided that the copyright notice and this permission notice are preserved, thus giving the recipient permission to redistribute in turn.
