Feature release 0.49.0 of the GitHub Action for Checking Spelling

Publish Date: May 22
3 5

Got a new release shipped of the GitHub Action for doing checking of your spelling. The action.

The release contains a lot of different changes:

  • Support for Italian as requested by: Stefan Oderbolz (@metaodi) via issue #241, the support is both for aspell and hunspell

  • Docker image updated to Python 3.13.3 slim via PR #238 from Dependabot. Release notes for Python 3.13.3

  • pymdown-extensions have been updated to: 10.15.0 hopefully addressing the issue outlined in issue #233 from: Micha Hobert (@Isengo1989). @facelessuser made the release of the dependency and I have included it in this release

As for the latter issue, I was unable to verify it working after the update, but it might be due to it has been a long day - perhaps fresh eyes will help. I will try to verify it later and I would love to update the documentation with some more details. But it has been shipped, so perhaps somebody else will beat me to it.

In my last release announcement for 0.48.0 I mentioned GHCR (GitHub Container Registry) and that I wanted to migrate away from DockerHub.

Next step via issue #80 is to get GitHub > packages to work and then migrate away from DockerHub.

I have made little progress on this and there is still work to be done, so DockerHub is still in the loop.

    been cool seeing steady progress - it adds up. you ever feel like momentum gets hardest to keep once the early excitement fades?

      Thank you.

      Well it varies. Often as you say, one has a lot of momentum, a project is new and pristine, you make headway fast. This kind of work and phase often can consume a lot of time, but it is very very satisfying. But hard to find the time to do.

      I do however enjoy maintenance, sitting down 30 minutes every day and just make a a little progress. The baby-steps model fits very well with my work-life balance as I find it hard to find time to do coding for longer periods.

      I believe it is John Resig of jQuery fame, who in an interview said he only spent 30 minutes a day on open source, due to other commitments like family, it actually made me feel less bad about not always coding and maintaining, so it balances quite well for me.

      Some of the things I do not enjoy however is planning to do something small and everything explodes, I have had that happen, it is quite stressful.

      And another thing is missing, being in the flow-state, with high momentum and getting a lot done and high learning rate - just always doing maintenance and baby-steps, does not really cover that.

      Take care

      Thanks, yes things are messy, so we have to remember the positive things, no matter how small

    The documentation has been updated with information on how to use the new feature in pymdown-extensions - thanks to Micha Hobert (@Isengo1989) for the contribution.
