Announcing Orca v3.6.2 and v3.7.0.95



=============
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. This is, however, the last of the dual-version Orcas. Going
forward Orca will require Python 3.3.
