and morphological analyzer.<br>
<br>
You can find the new release in the project's homepage:<br>

<br>
Over three years have passed since our previous release. In that time, we<br>
continued to improve Hspell's vocabulary, and enlarged it by 900 more base<br>
words. Hspell is now closer to full coverage of the modern Hebrew language<br>
than it ever was.<br>
<br>
We've always been proud of Hspell's accuracy and its compliance with the<br>
spelling standard set by the Academy of the Hebrew Language. Nevertheless,<br>
we continuously get asked why Hspell spells certain words the way that it<br>
does. So, starting with this release, Hspell now includes a document which<br>
describes its spelling standard and discusses the numerous spelling questions<br>
which we had to answer while developing hspell.<br>
This document is still a work in progress, but even at its present form<br>
is already quite readable and, we hope, educational. It is available in<br>
Hspell's tarball, and also online:<br>
<a href="http://hspell.ivrix.org.il/niqqudless.pdf" target="_blank">http://hspell.ivrix.org.il/niqqudless.pdf</a><br>
<br>
Not only people who download Hspell from our site will benefit from this<br>
release. For several years now, only a minority of Hspell's users downloaded<br>
it from our site. Hspell has become the de-facto standard Hebrew spell-checker<br>
in the free software world and beyond; It is available in Linux distributions,<br>
in Aspell's and Hunspell's dictionary collections, and as OpenOffice and<br>
Firefox plugins. Even Google's hugely popular mail service, GMail, uses<br>
Hspell as its Hebrew spell-checker. We expect that the new Hspell release<br>
will soon propagate to all these applications, so that their users will<br>
also be able to enjoy the improved vocabulary of Hspell 1.1.<br>
<br>
Enjoy Hspell 1.1. No further releases are expected this year ;-)<br>
