Announcing Orca v3.1.3, v3.1.3-xdesktop, and v3.0.3



===============
* 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.

You can read more about Orca at http://live.gnome.org/Orca.

==========================================
* Which Version Should I Use?
==========================================

If you are using GNOME 3:
  * Orca v3.1.3 is the latest unstable version of Orca.
  * Orca v3.0.3 is the latest stable version of Orca.

If you are NOT using GNOME 3:
  * Orca-xdesktop v.3.1.3 is an alternative unstable version of Orca,
    the goal of which is to provide the latest fixes and features
    without requiring users to upgrade to the latest version of GNOME.
    This version is likely to not work as expected in GNOME 3.x.

===================================
* What's Changed?
===================================

  * Fix for bug 653642 - Alt+F4 followed by Escape leaves the Orca 
    window closed - but Orca still running (all versions)

    "shift T A B" instead of saying "shift tab" (all versions)

  * Fix for bug 653624 - bash-ism causes error in orca startup script

  * Fix for bug 653514 - The ONLY magnification work Orca should be
    doing is handling caret and focus tracking (version 3.1.3)

    gnome-shell mag (version 3.1.3)

  * Fix for bug 652043 - In Libreoffice applications Orca doesn't
    present the title bar (version 3.0.3 only, having been included
