[orca-list] Fwd: Announcing Orca v2.21.91

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hey All:

Orca v2.21.91 went out yesterday.  If you're willing to be on the bleeding edge, please take it for a test ride.  We want as much feedback/testing on this as we can -- GNOME 2.22 is effectively in feature freeze right now, but we still have until March 3 to fix bugs.

Thanks!

Will
