Announce: LanguageTool 1.8

LanguageTool 1.8 has been released today. As usual, it is available for
download at http://www.languagetool.org.

Changes include:

  • Spell checking is now included (not used in LibreOffice/OpenOffice)
  • Many updates for the error detection rules for German, English, Catalan, Italian, French, Breton, Polish, Esperanto
