==================================
* What's changed for Orca v2.26.3?
==================================

2.26.3 - 29-Jun-2009

General:

* Fix for bug #511468 - Ekiga chat window accessibility problem

* Fix for bug #574221 - left-pane in Ekiga's preference box can't be
  read at start-up

* Fix for bug #586890 - Orca 2.27.3 and earlier will crash if liblouis
  1.6.2 python bindings are installed

OpenOffice/StarOffice:

* Fix for bug #583811 - Doing a select all in OOo Writer causes Orca
  to say "selected" for each paragraph

Thunderbird:

* Fix for bug #584837 - Find dialog fails to move caret to desired
  location in Thunderbird

* Fix for bug #568658 - Sometimes Orca announces the wrong subject in
  Thunderbird.  This change causes us to dump the pyatspi cache if
  we're in Thunderbird and exit flat review. As a result, we should
  not have bogus table data hanging around.

Firefox:

* Fix for bug #530784 - whereAmI info for list items in web content
  needs to be improved

* Fix for bug #577900 - Blank lines in Firefox text areas incorrectly
  spoken
