VSCode:

As a consequence of feature implementation and bug fixes described below
under "Chromium" and "Web," Orca support for VSCode has been improved
significantly. Users are encouraged to test Orca with VSCode Insiders
build, where Microsoft has many accessibility fixes to work with Orca.

Chromium:

 * Improve label inference for form fields without author-provided names

 * Fix issue causing us to present the previous line in contenteditable

 * Fix chattiness issue resulting from failing to consider the prior
   object when generating labelOrName

 * Fix false positive on identifying list item marker

 * Prevent double-speaking of ARIA combobox value

 * Don't speak child position for popup menus (it's always 1 of 1)

 * Attempt to identify and work around possible missing window events

 * Improve responsiveness of text selection in large objects

Web:

 * Support navigation within focusable tooltips in web applications

 * Update Orca to handle new mappings for ARIA alert and alertdialog

 * Add support for new ARIA code role

 * Multiple performance improvements to event handling

 * Ensure we always present ARIA groups with author-provided names

 * Improve behavior navigating in tables in web-based rich-text editors

 * Ensure we adjust text for repeated characters even in browse mode

 * Fix bug causing us to present stale value information for ARIA
   range widgets

 * Don't announce returning to browse mode when page is loading

 * Don't present load completed or page summary information if we are
   in focus mode for a valid object

 * Don't present loading message from pages which have no URI (fixes
   some chattiness when launching Firefox)

 * Ensure more objects with info get presented in flat review

 * General improvements for presentation of ARIA comboboxes

 * Don't iterate through all children of very complex SVGs (improves
   performance)

 * Ignore caret-moved events from outside the active grid in focus mode
   (fixes chattiness and also incorrectly updating our location)

 * Don't infer labels for any web app descendant (names must come from
   authors in ARIA apps)

 * Ensure we handle selection-change events from web app descendants

 * Ensure we present the name of focused web documents

 * Update focus when web app descendant claims focus, unless browse mode
   is sticky

 * Only present comment role when first entering the comment (chattiness)

 * Fix bug causing us to not present text which is directly inside a
   scroll pane

 * Treat treeitems as a whole for the purpose of caret navigation

 * Prevent Orca from combining words into a single word in web content
   when navigating by word

 * Fix several issues related to rich-text editors in web apps

Thunderbird:

 * Fix bug causing us to incorrectly update the focused location when
   navigating in Settings

Mouse Review:

 * Do not announce redundant information when enabling mouse review

 * Fix window list the second time mouse review gets enabled

 * Fix window detection with more than one workspace

 * Ensure we compare the top level document with the active one

 * Fix mouse review on some web elements after scrolling

Chat apps:

 * Fix false positive with autocompleted text event (causing us to
   present membership count changes, e.g. in Pidgin)

General:

 * Reduce chattiness from page tab selection events following focus

 * Reduce chattiness from text insertions resulting from page tab switch

 * Don't re-present the description if the locusOfFocus hasn't changed

 * Don't present position in list for comboboxes which lack children

 * Fix bug causing us to not present changes in already-focused terminal
   when Orca is launched

 * Only present the status bar if it is showing and visible (increases
   likelihood of Orca finding the right status bar when command to
   speak the status bar is given)

 * Prevent double-speaking of static text in alerts and other containers

 * Speak "alert" role before its name rather than after
