===============
* 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
was led by the Sun Microsystems, Inc., Accessibility Program Office with
generous contributions from the Mozilla Foundation and Corporation.
Orca is currently a community project driven completely by volunteers.

===================================
* What's changed for Orca v2.29.91?
===================================

2.29.91 - 20-Feb-2010

General:

* Work on getting the regression tests working on Ubuntu.

* Update the gsmag.py experimental module to work with the emerging
  magnifier D-Bus API.  This is throwaway code and the support is not
  fully working.

* Fix for bgo#593666 - Add structural navigation key for separators

* More work related to bgo#608149 - Orca's caret navigation for
  Firefox is broken effective the 30th Sept build of FF 3.6.  This
  adds a new per-script settings for yelp and thunderbird because
  they may use different versions of Gecko than firefox.

* Fix for bgo#609633 - Orca can lock up the desktop when exiting apps
  if in flat review

* Fix for bgo#610134 - Missing liblouis information can cause Orca to
  stop presenting

* Fix for bgo#610472 - Orca is redefining the built-in function
  'next' in structural_navigation.py

Firefox:

* Fix for bgo#608150 - Firefox 3.6's changes to the hierarchy of
  tables needs to be handled by Orca
