The coolest thing in this release is that Orca now has some fundamental
support for contracted braille. There are still a couple rough edges,
but we want to you take it for a test drive so we can polish this work
for the next release. You can read more about this in the "Contracted
Braille" section of the following URL: http://live.gnome.org/Orca/Braille
Many thanks to the Mozilla Foundation for funding this work and Eitan
Isaacson for the incredible work he did putting this in place.
===============
* 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 the Mozilla Foundation and wonderful community members.
The Orca v2.21.91 release is targeted for the GNOME v2.21.91 development
release and requires the latest at-spi/pyatspi infrastructure from GNOME
v2.21.91, including atk and gail.
You can also read more about Orca at http://live.gnome.org/Orca.
===================================
* What's changed for Orca v2.21.91?
===================================
2.21.91 - 11-Feb-2008
General:
* Fix for bug #133275 - (gedit) accessible description for page not
correct
* Work on bug #354470 - Contracted braille. This provides fundamental
contracted braille support via liblouis.
* Fix for bug #434654 - Orca skips a line in flat review mode or
with braille navigation (braille up / down). This fixes the
bug in question, but there is an asymmetric behavior that happens
when flat reviewing by word. Flat review by previous word will
land blank line at the end of a text area (if it has one), but
won't do do when navigating by next work. Tracking the asymmetric
navigation issue in bug #515817.

press features to be rebound
