+2.2.8 (February 27, 2020)
+-------------------------
+
+Add a provider back-end for Nuspell (thanks, Sander van Geloven). Nuspell is
+a new spell-checker whose development has been supported by the Mozilla
+foundation. It is backwards-compatible with Hunspell and Myspell
+dictionaries, while supporting a wider range of language peculiarities,
+improved suggestions, and easier maintainability of the code-base.
+
+Doxygen documentation generation is now supported for Enchant (thanks,
+Sander van Geloven).
+
+The command-line parsing of the “enchant” program has been made more
+friendly and reliable. The -L flag (show line numbers), which had not been
+working for some time, has been fixed.
+
+A buffer overflow in personal wordlist handling has been fixed.
+
+Minor improvements were made to the tests (thanks, Sander van Geloven).
