Please don't apply this patch - it changes NEWS/Changelog (which is
pretty much historical beyond the existing release and IMO not worth
updating), changes dates, reformats, doesn't like "existent"
(http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/existent)...

There are one or two updates worth cherry picking, however.

Sorry, I was committing (r42281) as you were posting. You can either roll the changes back or I will try to do so later today.

Reverted in r42886.

[kurahaupo]

I'll re-do this using "diff -b" to ignore whitespace, and split into separate two patches, one for misinformation and another for typos.

Misinformation fixed:

1.8.0 was released in November, not October

Typos fixed (in alphabetical order): * "aattribute" should be "attribute" * "arragement" should be "arrangement" * "attatched" should be "attached" * "Changelog" should be "ChangeLog" (case-sensitive filename) * "cought" should be "caught" * "dubug(ger)" should be "debug(ger)" * "excpetion" should be "exception" * "extention" should be "extension" * "implemention" should be "implementation" (multiple places) * "inline'd" should be "inlined" * "mesages" should be "messages" * "nethertheless" should be "nevertheless" * "non-existing" should be "non-existent" (not the other way round) * "overridding" should be "overriding" * "persuit" should be "pursuit" * "relase" should be "release" * "sanification" should be "sanitization" * "superceded" should be "superseded" * "the worse" should be "the worst" (considering more than two options) * "uniccode" should be "unicode" * "varialbes" should be "variables" * "wih" should be "with"

Ignore datefix.patch - was fixed in r43075

[coke]

Thanks, applied most of this in r43380; I skipped NEWS, as that's a historical document, warts and all.

Sorry about the delay.
