Euspell 0.3.3 for Firefox and Safari (macOS).

Firefox

Mozilla-signed build of the Euspell browser extension, self-distributed.

Install: download euspell-0.3.3.xpi below and open it in Firefox, or drag it onto the Add-ons page. Firefox 128 or later. If you are running 0.3.2 the update is offered automatically.

What is new since 0.3.2

  • I is spelled ih. The paper's Singletons section has always said so — I is the only always-capitalised word in English, and the capital does no work — but the lexicon had never carried the row. It does now, and the capital follows the ordinary rule: ih mid-sentence, Ih at the start of one. The letter and the Roman numeral are untouched, so Section I, I-beam and dot the i all read as before.
  • Twenty-five more French loanwords take the -eh ending, the grapheme attache, ballet and beret already used: bidet → bideh, canape → canapeh, emigre → emigreh, matinee → matineh, pate → pateh and the rest. Three of them are heteronyms rather than plain loanwords — expose, resume and frappe split into a noun in -eh and a verb keeping its own spelling, and reach a disambiguator instead of converting outright.
  • Two rows that disagreed with themselves. precipes spelled precipee, its own singular; it is precipees. garrote carried a spelling it was never allowed to use — a units digit of 0 beside a euspelling — so it passed through unreformed while garote, garotte and garrotte all converted; it is 101 now, matching them.
  • Every derived dictionary is rebuilt from the new lexicon: the Hunspell and Word dictionaries, the PoS export, the Harper metadata and both pronunciation lexicons. Three of them had been carrying older data than the lexicon they are generated from.

Safari

The notarised Euspell-Safari-0.3.3-macOS.dmg follows and will be attached here; it needs an Apple notarisation pass that runs on a Mac. Until it lands, 0.3.2 remains the current Safari download. Same engine and same lexicon as the Firefox build above.

Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera

Not in this release. The Chrome Web Store listing continues to serve 0.3.2 until 0.3.3 clears review.

Eupub

The reader ships from its own repository: eupub v0.3.3 — Windows, macOS, Linux and Android. The iPhone build on the App Store stays at 0.2.3 for now.
