news 28 Posted May 18, 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 v2.26.2? ================================== 2.26.2 - 18-May-2009 General: * Fix for bug #466841 - Orca doesn't announce items when Alt+Tabbing if Compiz is enabled. This fix is designed to improve Orca's access to the basic window switcher in Compiz. There are still bugs in Compiz which make providing compelling access difficult, but this should at least make switching windows accessible. * Fix for bug #577977 - provide speech feedback for "repeat last find" in Gedit. * Fix for bug #580329 - Use show_uri() to display help window. * Fix for bug #580423 - Remove deprecated libgnomeui dependency. Use DBus org.gnome.SessionManager.Logout instead of gnome.ui.master_client().request_save. * Fix for bug #582684 - Arrowing left/right across tree tables causes whole row to be spoken. ===================== * Where can I get it? ===================== You can obtain Orca v2.26.2 in source code form at the following: http://download.gnome.org/sources/orca/2.26/orca-2.26.2.tar.gz http://download.gnome.org/sources/orca/2.26/orca-2.26.2.tar.bz2 Enjoy!
