Announcing Orca v3.5.3 and v3.7.0.3



=============
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 and refreshable braille.

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

=================
Why two versions?
=================

Having two parallel versions of Orca was easier than trying to have a
single version of Orca which would work nicely in both Python 2 and
Python 3.

Orca 3.5.x is based on Python 2 and be shipped with GNOME 3.6. Orca
3.7.0.x is based on Python 3, and will be shipped with GNOME 3.8, or
earlier depending on your distro. We will strive to keep these two
branches behavior- and feature-consistent between now and the 3.6
release.

================================
What's Changed in 3.5.3/3.7.0.3?
================================

General

  * Fix for bug 677748 - Launcher icon needs 256x256 variant

  * Fix for Orca not presenting the 'Command not found' label in the
    gnome-shell run dialog

  * Work around for Orca not presenting the gnome-shell run dialog text
    in braille

    at the end
