+Note: don't forget to install dictionaries!

+	or go to <URL:http://aspell.sourceforge.net/>.
+
+Warning: Upgrading from Aspell .33/Pspell .12
+
+The way dictionaries are handled has also changed. This includes a change
+in the naming conventions of both language names and dictionaries. Due to
+the language name change, your old personal dictionaries will not be
+recognized. However, you can import the old dictionaries by running the
+"aspell-import" script. This also means that dictionaries designed to
+work with older versions of Aspell are not likely to function correctly.
+Fortunately new dictionary packages are available for most languages. You
+can find them off of the Aspell home page at http://aspell.net.
+
+The Pspell ABI is now part of Aspell except that the name of everything
+has changed due to the renaming of Pspell to Aspell. In particular please
+note the following name changes:
+
+    pspell -> aspell
+    manager -> speller
+    emulation -> enumeration
+    master_word_list -> main_word_list
+
+Please also note that the name of the language-tag option has changed to 
+lang. However, for backward compatible the language-tag option will still
+work.
