For several reasons, I will not become the official maintainer any OpenOffice extension. Perhaps you could find someone who understands Swedish and is willing to test the new version of the dictionary? Then, if the tests shows that the upgrade is worthwhile, maybe you, Andrea, could update the extension? Note: My dictionary is used by many other applications. E.g. LibreOffice uses v2.14 and Google Chrome uses v2.12, so it's not completely untested. Still, there are some differences in the tokenizers and hunspell versions used by these applications, so a specific test of the dictionary in Apache OpenOffice v3.4.1 or later is required. The hunspell version used by OpenOffice 3.4.0 and older has a few severe bugs (e.g. resulting in malformed words as suggestions) and missing features which are truly essential when spellchecking Swedish texts. > > Are there any brave Swedes who wants to test version 2.16? >> > > This is still important if you wish to have feedback about the dictionary > quality. > > Regards, > Andrea. >
