1DIVISI'ON DE PALABRAS

4The file eshyph.tex under /base is the base for the Spanish patters.
5It is intended mainly for backward compatibility.  New systems are
6best based on CTAN:language/hyph-utf8/, which has the same patterns.
7
8Why 4.x? Well, I know at least other three files with the same name,
9so this one is the fourth (there were at least 6 or 7 patterns files).
10The others should vanish as soon as posible.

17- division.pdf is a draft of an article (in Spanish) explaining the
18rules to be applied and how they are being translated into TeX in a
19unified set of patterns (somewhat outdated).
20- eshyph-make.lua generates the patterns, with eshyph.src for prefixes
21and special cases.
22- eshyph-test.tex makes a comparison with strict syllabic rules.  It
23requires a file spanish-words.txt (not supplied) with a list of word,
24one per line.  You can (should) filter the words.

30I would like to thanks Francesc Carmona for his permission
31to steal parts of his work without restrictions.
32
33The contrib directory, as its name implies, is not part of the
34official bundle. It has a different set of patterns, but it does not
35follow the rules by the Spanish Academy (despite its claims).

37What's new in 4.5 (2009-08-01)
38~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
39
40Missing group -gl- added (a major bug). A few minor improvements
41for "des-" and "in-".
42
43What's new in 4.4 (2009-05-19)
44~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
45
46Some bad patterns fixed.
47
48What's new in 4.3 (2009-05-14)
49~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
50
51Some patterns fixed, particularly for "familia", "superar", "sub-" and
52final consonants.  Patterns are now generated with the help of a few
53lua/luatex files (whose status is alpha).
54
55What's new in 4.2
56~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
57
58The encoding is UTF-8, so that it can be used with LuaTeX. Yet, it
59works without changes with standard TeX.
60
61What's new in 4.1
62~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
63
64- Thanks to a list of about 750000 words and extensive
65tests, wrong hyphenations have been reduced dramatically
66and the number of patterns has been almost duplicated.
67
68- Since the Spanish Academy rules of 1999 are very vague,
69incomplete and even contradictory, they had to be
70completed with some traditional ones. The Academy has
71published new rules in November 2005 including many of
72the traditional ones employed here and therefore only
73minor adjustments have been necessary.
74
75- Patterns for a few verbal endings are necessary, and
76now the "voseo" forms (used in many countries of Central
77and South America) have been included.
