  • Some words from New Zealand English added.
  • The word list has been expanded by merging in the words from the latest en_GB dictionary, new words have been added from publicly available new word lists.
  • More Australianisms have been added like 'drongo, truckie, chunder'.
  • Some taboo words have marked so that they do not to show up in the suggested spellings options.
  • Some contractions like how'll, how've, where'll, here've, why'd, why'll or why've are now recognized.
