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 favor of
    dictd.dictd immediately after opening the log file and writing the
    pid file.

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.

dictd (1.9.11-4) unstable; urgency=low

  * dict-de-en, ver. 1.2-6, is now enocded 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.

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 nolonger
    shipped with the dictd binary.  If you wish to experiment with
    plugins see /usr/share/doc/dictd/README.Plugins.gz.

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.
