Announcing Orca v2.26.2



===============
* 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.

==================================
* What's changed for Orca v2.26.2?
==================================

2.26.2 - 18-May-2009

General:

* Fix for bug #466841 - Orca doesn't announce items when Alt+Tabbing
  if Compiz is enabled. This fix is designed to improve Orca's access
  to the basic window switcher in Compiz. There are still bugs in
  Compiz which make providing compelling access difficult, but this
  should at least make switching windows accessible.

* Fix for bug #577977 - provide speech feedback for "repeat last find"
  in Gedit.

* Fix for bug #580329 - Use show_uri() to display help window.

* Fix for bug #580423 - Remove deprecated libgnomeui dependency.  Use
  DBus org.gnome.SessionManager.Logout instead of
  gnome.ui.master_client().request_save.

* Fix for bug #582684 - Arrowing left/right across tree tables causes
  whole row to be spoken.
