===============
* 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. Orca
development has been led by the Sun Microsystems, Inc., Accessibility
Program Office via continued engagement with its end users and
generous contributions from wonderful community members.
You can also read more about Orca at http://live.gnome.org/Orca.
===================================
* What's changed for Orca v2.19.92?
===================================
2.19.92 - 03-Sep-2007
General:
* Fix for bug 456970 - Orca says "0 items" for tree tables that use
NODE_CHILD_OF relationship.
* Fix for bug 471220 - Gaim's prefixChatMessage setting should have
option to only prefix non-focused tabs. Now if you enable the
app-specific setting to speak chatroom name, it will only speak it
when the message is not in your current room.
* Work on bug 472377 - Need to fix braille for radio buttons and
checkboxes in HTML content. There are two issues: 1) repetition of
labels with radio buttons and 2) The label and name of radio buttons
and checkboxes needs to be reversed. 1) is easy and now done.
2) will take some thought and will likely wait until after
GNOME 2.20.
* Fix for bug 472407 - Orca doesn't always announce new messages in
unfocused tabs in Pidgin.
Gecko:
* Fix for bug 469686 - Sanity check needed in gecko.getHeadingLevel.
* One more "check" related to the fix for bug 470332 - Can no longer
arrow to push buttons in FF3. The original fix exposed a Mozilla
bug which was causing Orca to hang when it encountered (un)ordered
lists. See bug 470853. This update should prevent the hang while
we're waiting for the fix.
* Fix for bug 471537 - We need to find a way to identify truly
"focusable" elements in FF3.
* Fix for bug 471955 - Orca does not provide access to state changes
in HTML radio buttons in FF3.
* Work on bug 472029 - Cannot arrow into autocompletes in HTML forms
if Orca is controlling the caret. There's an outstanding bug in
Firefox that can cause some odd behavior with autocompletes.
Monitor bug 472029 to track it.
