dictd (1.11.0.dfsg-1) experimental; urgency=low dictd configuration was changed to bind to the localhost interface only, please edit the dictd.conf file if you don't like the change. dictd now uses debconf to switch between daemon and inetd modes, it can also be entirely disabled. Please make sure to accept configuration file changes for the feature to work properly. -- Robert Luberda Wed, 31 Dec 2008 12:24:05 +0100 dictd (1.10.10.dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=low 'dict' and 'dictl' programs no longer pipe their output to pager. The `-P' option was removed. If you run 'dict' or 'dictl' interactively, write to your interactive shell startup script (.ksh, .zsh, .bashrc etc.) mydict () { dictl "$@" 2>&1 | colorit | less -R ; } and then use 'mydict' instead of 'dict' (or 'dictl'). Re-added 'colorit' script together with a sample configuration file. Note: you need to install the m4 package for it to work. 'dictfmt_virtual' was removed by upstream. -- Robert Luberda Wed, 23 Jan 2008 21:30:17 +0100 dictd (1.10.2-1) unstable; urgency=low dictd now uses internal implementations of UCS-2/UTF-8 functions. Thus, dictd no longer need to specify a UTF-8 locale with the --locale option in order to use dictionaries encoded in UTF-8. The pid file is back, so dictd no longer starts as user dictd, but once again as root. It still drops root privileges in favour of dictd.dictd immediately after opening the log file and writing the pid file. -- Kirk Hilliard Sun, 4 Dec 2005 20:34:50 -0500 dictd (1.9.12-2) unstable; urgency=low Starting with version 2002.02.27-3 the mueller7-dict and muller7accent-dict packages have been converted to UTF-8 encoding, so they now work properly with dictd. -- Robert D. Hilliard Wed, 17 Mar 2004 10:04:11 -0500 dictd (1.9.11-4) unstable; urgency=low dict-de-en, ver. 1.2-6, is now encoded in UTF-8, so it works properly with dictd. If your terminal doesn't support UTF-8, use dictl. I suggest symlinking dictl to dict for transparent conversion of character sets. -- Robert D. Hilliard Wed, 04 Feb 2004 16:35:46 -0500 dictd (1.9.11-1) unstable; urgency=low dict.conf has moved from /etc to /etc/dictd. The plugin shared libraries and example plugins are no longer shipped with the dictd binary. If you wish to experiment with plugins see /usr/share/doc/dictd/README.Plugins.gz. -- Robert D. Hilliard Thu, 25 Dec 2003 11:51:31 -0500 dictd (1.9.10-3) unstable; urgency=low Support for 8-bit character encodings is broken a this time, and is not expected to be working properly until sometime after the release of dictd 1.9.11. This means that dict-de-en, mueller7-dict, and mueller7accent-dict do not work properly. /usr/share/doc/README.Dictd-locales has been added in an attempt to clarify the use of the --locale option. -- Robert D.
