Total speculation follows:

There is a new branch on the GitHub source code, called "spell", which seems to be the spellchecking that Kovid promised would come around at some point.

It hasn't been updated in 18 days though (unless you count merging in the latest code from the master branch) but I'm assuming that is because all the work so far has been stuff which isn't ready to be pushed to the repository. Plus the commits to the master branch have been (relatively speaking) either easy updates or requested bugfixes. (Plus the Quick open file feature completed 10 days ago.) So I'm assuming he's devoting most of his attention at the moment to implementing the spellcheck.

Keeping that in mind, I have a different question: Kovid, can you tell us what the status is?
