[Unreleased]

[0.2.0] - 2026-08-06

Breaking

• Checker::new() now returns Result<Self, Error> instead of panicking when
  the spellchecker (or hunspell dictionary) is unavailable

  checked text (in addition to text())

Added

• Error / Error::Unavailable
• Broader Linux dictionary search paths and en_US / en_GB fallbacks
• Word tokenization with offsets on Unix (alphabetic / ' runs)
• GitHub Actions CI (Linux, macOS, Windows; fmt; clippy)

• Checker::with_locale (en_US / en-US both accepted)
• Checker::suggest for spelling suggestions (capped at 10)

Changed

• Edition 2021; dropped lazy_static / extern crate
• macOS uses OnceLock for the shared NSSpellChecker
• Windows COM failures map to Error where creating the checker; UTF-16
  indices convert to UTF-8 byte ranges
