Orca A few observations

[Hermann <steppenwolf2 onlinehome de>]

Hello,
just a few things I noticed:
1. Whether or not I activate "speak blank lines" in the Orca settings, the 
speech doesn't react, "blank" is not spoken. Since the upgrade of brltty 
the braille display doesn't show blank lines, except in text mode programs, 
started in the Gnome terminal.
2. typing
orca -v
doesn't shut down Orca as it use to be. Does this exist in the last stable 
version, or since upgrading to the very latest version?
3. I installed the latest packages from SVN. When I type:
orca -v
I read "Orca 2.17.91" Is this correct? I would expect something like "dev".
Regards
Hermann
