I see that on the same day I wrote this (I didn't check if earlier or
later) an incomplete update of dictionaries was done.
While data are probably OK, I would prefer that the update it is
completed according to my original mail, so that users won't be confused
(thanks to the new CHANGELOG and README) and that anyone wishing to
create derivatives of the package or its portions can easily find all
history in the documentation in the "legacy" folder (and the will of
earlier contributors is respected).
The incomplete update has been ported to the 3.5 branch too, if I see
correctly, so it would be nice to complete it there too.
Thanks,
Andrea.
