0.2.5
* Re-map keyboard bindings and add additional keyboard bindings.
See http://live.gnome.org/Orca/KeyboardCommands for the list.
* Improvements to StarOffice support to provide better access to text
documents and spreadsheets. Also get rid of spurious "0.00" text
that was showing up in braille for StarOffice buttons.
* Addition of announcing text selection as it is selected and unselected.
* Generalize the "read table cell row" functionality. If you press
Insert+F11, it will toggle the feature to read the entire row of
a table or just the selected table cell when you move from row to row.
* Improved support for SayAll of text objects (SayAll for flat review
is still on the to do list).
* Addition of self-voicing module to tell Orca to be quiet when a
self-voicing application is present.
* Addition of ability to turn Orca into a speech server that can
accessed via simple HTTP commands (default port is 20433, but this
is customizable via orca.settings.speechServerPort). This will
allow self-voicing appliations to use Orca for their speech, thus
letting them get the user's speech settings preferences.
* Addition of orca.settings.enableBrailleGrouping (default=False).
NOTE: this represents a change in the UI for Orca - the behavior to
date has been to always group menu items on the braille display.
The system responsiveness was bad for large menus, however, so we
decided to make this an optional feature turned off by default.
* Addition of utility to report information on the currently active
script. This is primarily for helping script writers do debugging
and is accessed by pressing Insert+F3.
* Addition of orca.settings.cacheAccessibles (default=True) as a
means to turn the local caching of accessible objects on or off.
This is primarily an orca developer debugging feature.
* Fix for bug 344218 - gnome-terminal would not be presented properly
if it was started after Orca.
* Fix for bug 343666: pressing buttons on braille displays could cause
a hang.
* Partial fix for bug 342022 - provide some defensive mechanisms to help
prevent some hangs.
* Fix for bug 343133 - do not hang when doing a flat-review of a man
page in gnome-terminal.
* Fix for bug #343013 - the command line option strings should not be
translatable.
* Partial fix for bug 319652 - become a better Python thread citizen
to help reduce hangs.
* Fix for bug 342303 - stop speech when the user presses the mouse button.
* Fix for bug 342122 - use all labels for an objecty when presenting
an object.
* Fix for bug 342133 - do not read all labels in gnome-window-properties
application when it appears.
* Fix for bug 341415 - when moving between workspaces with metacity,
eliminate redundant output and alsomake sure workspace names are
announced.
* Refactor of various modules to move script writing utilities into
util.py.
* More fleshing out of the test plan.
