news 28 Posted March 2, 2009 =============== * What is Orca? =============== Orca is a free, open source, flexible, and extensible screen reader that provides access to the graphical desktop via user-customizable combinations of speech, braille, and/or magnification. Orca development has been led by the Sun Microsystems, Inc., Accessibility Program Office via continued engagement with its end users and generous contributions from the Mozilla Foundation and wonderful community members. You can also read more about Orca at http://live.gnome.org/Orca. =================================== * What's changed for Orca v2.25.92? =================================== 2.25.92 - 02-Mar-2009 General: * Fix for bug #387556 - Arrowing past last character at end of line in Orca results in no speech * More fixing for bug #419123 - Modified speech settings do not change immediately in preferences dialog. There was an issue with setting the uppercase and/or hyperlink voice settings the first time. * Fix for bug #517387 - Orca should not read password out in gdm login window * Fix for bug #570390 - Spellcheck in evolution is badly broken * Fix for bug #572215 - Opening preferences launches magnifier. This would result in screen flickering and potential corruption of the desktop display. * Fix for bug #572218 - Order of variables not changeable * Fix for bug #572294 - Need a sanity check in the default script's locusOfFocusChanged * Fix for bug #573156 - Add a notify-osd script * Fix for bug #573535 - Orca should use the 16x16 pixels application icon for Main and Preferences windows. This keeps the icon at the 48x48 size that has been used to date, but makes sure it is used on all the windows shown by Orca. If we decide to go from 48x48 to 16x16, we can change the new set_orca_icon method in orca_glade.py. Pidgin: * Fix for bug #572303 - Double-speaking of characters entered into pidgin account creation Thunderbird: * Fix for bug #571812 - Orca does not read the next message in thunderbird when deleting if first column does not change Firefox: * Fix for bug #570550 - (ARIA) UIUC Number Guessing Game Alert not presented when it changes * Fix for bug #570567 - Where am I for link does not speak the link text * Fix for bug #570757 - Orca can get stuck when browsing pages with embedded panels in FF 3.x * Fix for bug #573174 - Gecko script.py calls debug.printException when there isn't an exception * Work on bug #573303 - Support text attribute and spelling error notification in FF. Limit the speaking of font names to just the first family listed. This is much less verbose and much more usable.
