2.17.4 - 17-Dec-2006 * Added new support to edit your key bindings from the Orca preferences dialog (thanks Jorge Sandín !!!) * Added new implementation of "Where Am I" based upon the discussion on the Orca user's list (thanks for your work, everyone!). * Fix for bug 382891: Flat review now works in the face of empty text areas (thanks Joanie Diggs!!). * Fix for bug 381391: Flat review initialization now handles situations where the caret is at the end of a text area (thanks Joanie Diggs!!). * Fix for bug 382408: Eliminated significant sluggishness when navigating in OOo Writer tables (many thanks to our Orca users for speaking up about this!). * Fix for bug 382495: orca --setup is now localized (thanks Takao!). * Fix for bug 382418: Orca now announces when you enter/leave a table in OOo Writer documents. * Fix for bug 382880: Orca now provides speech output when tabbing among cells in OOo Writer documents. * Fix for bug 382888: Orca now announces when you cross a cell boundary in OOo Writer tables. * Fix for bug 382415: Orca now honors speak cell/row setting in OOo Writer tables. * Fix for bug 384393: Orca now reports bold or underline in OOo Writer when Insert F is pressed (this was a regression). * Fix for bug 375395: Orca now speaks blank lines in Evolution when appropriate. * Allow Orca to run better under gdm for accessible login. With this work, we've been informed by the gdm maintainer that Orca is the first assistive technology ever that can run without requiring gdm to have a home directory. NOTE: the typical line to add to /etc/X11/gdm/modules/AccessKeyMouseEvents is something like the following, depending upon what you want Orca to do when it starts: o 1 1000 10000 /bin/sh -c "GTK_MODULES=gail:atk-bridge ctrun -l child -i none orca -n -d main-window" * Improved support for BrlTTY v3.8. Orca will now first attempt to use the new Python bindings for BrlAPI 0.5 (which is what comes with BrlTTY v3.8) and then fallback to its own bindings for BrlAPI 0.4.1 (which is what comes with BrlTTY 3.7.2). When using BrlTTY v3.8, Orca is now a better BrlTTY citizen: Orca only consumes BrlTTY events that it cares about, and Orca is also smarter about which TTY it chooses. NOTE: Our plan is to eventually retire Orca's BrlAPI 0.4.1 Python bindings as BrlAPI 0.5 becomes more prevalent. * More work done with Gecko.py (the Firefox script), but there's still a lot of work to do here, both on the Firefox and Orca implementations. * More work done with Thunderbird, but there's still a lot more work to be done with it as well, both on the Firefox and Orca implementations. * Improvements and additions to the Orca regression test harness. * New and updated translations (THANKS!): es Spanish Jorge Sandín and Francisco Javier F.
