 from the sources, you should be ready to go.
 If you used a preprared package e.g. from your distribution you probably need
 to install an additional package, this might be called geany-dev or geany-devel.

 The GNU versions of these tools are recommended.

+Known issues
+------------
+ * Spell checking with some languages like Hindi might be incorrect, i.e. some
+   words are incorrectly marked as correctly spelled or marked incorrectly
+   as misspelled.
+ * Crashes of Geany when loading the Spell Check plugin after it was unloaded.
+   This can happen when you are using a dictionary from the Zemberek provider
+   of Enchant (mostly Turkish dictionaries).
+   It can also happen when you tried to use a non-existing
+   dictionary and the Zemberek provider is installed on your system.
+   To avoid these crashes you have the following options:
+
+     * Do not load the plugin after it was unloaded, restart Geany first
+     * Do not use any of the dictionaries provided by the Zemberek provider
+     * Update your Enchant version at least to 1.4.3 (once it is released)
+     * Uninstall the Zemberek provider
+
+  Background:
+              These crashes are all related to the Zemberek provider in Enchant.
+              In version 1.4.2 and prior of Enchant, this provider/backend always
+              claimed to support any given invalid dictionary name and so it was
+              active and caused these crashes on load after unload of the plugin.
+              This provider is DBus-based and uses the GObject type
+              registration system which is not really capable of being unloaded and
+              loaded again.
