dict-1.9.4 released

[Aleksey C. <vl...@gm...>]

dict-1.9.4 is released.
It is available for download from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dict


Major changes:

- Documentation update by Bob Hilliard

- 'snprintf' and 'vsnprintf' functions are used instead of
  'sprintf' and 'vsprintf' on platforms where they are available.

- dictd fails if it is run with "C" locale
  and discovers 8-bit/utf-8 dictionaries.

  dictfmt/dictfmt_index2suffix/dictfmt_index2word/dictfmt_virtual fails
  if they are run with "C" locale
  and discover 8-bit/utf-8 input.

- 'make samples' bug fixed
- 'dict --serverinfo' bug fixed
- 'dictd --test-match' bug fixed

ChangeLog:
   * configure.in:
   version ==> 1.9.4
 
   * dictd.8:
   fixed: misprint in the documentation
 
   * configure.in:
   AC_REPLACE_FUNCS(towlower) -> AC_CHECK_FUNCS
 
   * dictfmt_virtual.1, index.c, dictd.h, dictd.c, config.h.in:
   added: 'dictfmt' adds 00-database-8bit entry to the 8-bit dictionaries.
          'dictd' uses this entry (and 00-database-utf8)
          and fails if "C" locale is specified
          and 8-bit or utf-8 dictionaries are encountered.
 
          Using "C" locale for 8-bit and utf-8 dictionaries is one of
          the most common error made by dictd users.
 
   * dictfmt_virtual:
   nothing serious
 
   * dictfmt.c, dictunformat:
   'dictfmt' fails if --locale="C" (the default) is specified and 8-bit
       head word is encountered.
 
   * dictfmt_index2word:
   'dictfmt_index2word' failes if it is run with the locale "C" and
       index file contains 8-bit head words.
 
   * dictfmt_index2suffix:
   'dictfmt_index2suffix' failes if it is run with the locale "C" and
       index file contains 8-bit head words.
 
   * dictfmt.c:
   'dictfmt' run with "C" locale cannot build dictionary containing 8-bit words
 
   * dictfmt_index2suffix, dictfmt_index2word:
   fixed: problems with filenames containing spaces
 
   * Makefile.in:
   new man pages are installed/uninstalled
 
   * configure.in, dictfmt_index2suffix.1, dictfmt_index2word.1, dictfmt_virtual.1, dictunformat.1:
   documentation update
 
   * Makefile.in:
   fixed: bug in 'samples' target
 
   * dictunformat.1, dictfmt_index2word.1, dictfmt_virtual.1, dictfmt_index2suffix.1:
   Really added dictfmt_virtual.1, dictunformat.1, dictfmt_index2word.1,
   and dictfmt_index2suffix
 
   * dict.c, dictd.8:
   Fixed dict.c to accept --serverinfo option, minor changes to dictd.8
   Added dictfmt_index2suffix.1, dictfmt_index2word.1, dictfmt_virtual.1,
   and dictunformat.1
 
   * dictfmt_index2word:
   awk script inside conforms to posix
 
   * vsnprintf.c, snprintf.c, dictfmt.c, dictzip.c, dictd.c, daemon.c, configure.in, config.h.in:
   'dictd', 'dictfmt' and 'dictzip' use snprintf and vsnprintf functions
       instead of sprintf and vsprintf on platforms where they are available.
 
   * dictd.c:
   added: --test-nooutput and --test-idle debugging options to 'dictd'
          They allow to test search speed:
            time_of(dictd --test-nooutput) - time_of (dictd --test-idle)
   fixed: bug with a debugging option --test-match
          Actually it made a DEFINE search
 
   * dictfmt_virtual, dictfmt.c, dictfmt_plugin:
   added: --silent, --quiet, -q options to 'dictfmt'
 
   * dictd.h, index.c:
   This significantly speeds up plugin-based search
 
   * ChangeLog:
   ChangeLog conforms dictd-1.9.3
 
   * index.c:
   more informative error message
 
   * dictdplugin_popen.cpp: *** empty log message ***
 
   * dictfmt_plugin:
   'dictfmt_plugin' doesn't add header and url to the .dict file
 
   * dictd.c:
   added: additional check for empty database list
