Subject: 24.0.50; Regression: Many dictionaries not found by ispell.el
Date: Sun, 17 Oct 2010 19:41:16 +0200

On a system with Aspell 0.60.6 with English dictionaries installed,
evaluating the following expression successfully changes the dictionary
on Emacs 23.2:

(progn
  (require 'ispell)
  (ispell-change-dictionary "british-ize"))

On Emacs 24 it fails:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Undefined dictionary: british-ize")
  signal(error ("Undefined dictionary: british-ize"))
  error("Undefined dictionary: %s" "british-ize")
  ispell-change-dictionary("british-ize")
  (progn (require (quote ispell)) (ispell-change-dictionary "british-ize"))

Comparing ispell-dictionary-alist on Emacs 23.2 and Emacs 24, it looks
like the following dictionaries are not found by ispell.el on Emacs 24:

  canadian
  canadian-wo_accents
  canadian-w_accents
  british-wo_accents
  british-w_accents
  british-ize
  british-ize-wo_accents
  british-ize-w_accents
  british-ise
  british-ise-wo_accents
  british-ise-w_accents
  american-wo_accents
  american-w_accents
  en_CA
  en_CA-w_accents
  en_CA-wo_accents
  en_GB
  en_GB-ise
  en_GB-ise-w_accents
  en_GB-ise-wo_accents
  en_GB-ize
  en_GB-ize-w_accents
  en_GB-ize-wo_accents
  en_GB-w_accents
  en_GB-wo_accents
  en_US
  en_US-w_accents
  en_US-wo_accents

The new behaviour was introduced by this change:

message:
  ispell.el (ispell-aspell-find-dictionary): Fix regexp for full xx_YY search.
  
  This is needed for languages like Portuguese where there are aspell dicts
  for pt_BR and pt_PT, not for plain pt. If we strip country part 
  `ispell-aspell-find-dictionary' does not find dicts for portuguese.
