It should be available to test now already. > BTW, the latest functioning version of aspell-ru > insists on "ё", even though this is not in line with contemporary > Russian orthography. Actually, Ë comes and goes in cycles. During the 90's, there was a resurgence of systematically using it. Now, common practice seems to be reverting to the Soviet approach of completely omitting the umlauts again. Still, I'm curious why aspell would not offer both options, since the source wordlist offers both variants already. -- Martin-Éric Racine http://q-funk.iki.fi
