be accepted for all languages.

own additions to `spelling.txt` and `prohibit.txt` without having to edit those
files after a `LanguageTool` update (you will still need to manually copy those
files).
Paths to these files (`xx` = language code):
`./org/languagetool/resource/xx/hunspell/prohibit_custom.txt`
`./org/languagetool/resource/xx/hunspell/spelling_custom.txt`
Note that you can simply create these files if they don't exist for your language yet.

comes to offering suggestions for misspelled words.
#### Java API
* `AbstractSimpleReplaceRule2` has been fixed so that it's now case-insensitive.
If you implement a sub class of it and you want the old behavior, please implement
`isCaseSensitive()` and have it return `true`. (Issue #2051)
#### Internal
* The internal hunspell has been updated from 1.3 to 1.7, now using
https://gitlab.com/dumonts/hunspell-java as the project providing the bindings, thanks to Daniel Naber.
E.g., for Portuguese, misspellings suggestions generation is three times faster,
although it is still slower than the lighter Morfologik methods.
* Experimental: the new `default="temp_off"` attribute in `grammar.xml` files will
turn off a rule/rulegroup, but keep it activated for our nightly regression tests.
* Many external dependencies have been updated to new versions
