* 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.
The Orca v2.23.3 release is targeted for the GNOME v2.23.3 development release and requires the latest at-spi/pyatspi infrastructure from GNOME v2.23.3, including atk and gail. 

You can also read more about Orca at http://live.gnome.org/Orca.

==================================
* What's changed for Orca v2.23.3?
==================================
Lots! In addition, anything in the list below that begins with a '+' is in both the gnome-2-22 branch and trunk (this release). 

2.23.3 - 02-Jun-2008

General:

+ Fix for bug #371637 - Orca repeats "Location:" info repeatedly in
  Nautilus File Browser Dialog.

* Fix for bug #448817 - Being able to configure autostart from orca's
  settings.

* Fix for bug #463646 - Orca doesn't announce the presence of
  unfocused dialogs when an app gains focus.

* Additional fix for bug #520494 - Keyboard review punctuation in
  Firefox.  (This was actually a general fix not isolated to Firefox)

* Fix for bug #524998 - Selection is not shown if Ctrl+A is used to do
  "Select All".

* Reversed the fix for bug #529784 - Speech cannot always be
  interrupted with flat review.  Further investigation done by
  Rich and Will indicate that the bug in question is an espeak
  bug and this "fix" introduces more problems than it solves
  (see, for instance, bug #532982).

* Fix for bug #534383 - Orca mouse review traceback at startup.

* Fix for bug #535747 - Do not assume
  orca_state.lastNonModifierKeyEvent is non-None.

Evolution:

* Fix for bug #516565 - Orca speaks the full line of a message in Evo
  when it should not.

+ Fix for bug #533499 - Evolution contacts not being spoken when you
  navigate them.

Firefox/Thunderbird:

* Fix for bug #511561 - Orca should not impact the cursor position
  when replying to a message in thunderbird.

* Fix for bug #515665 - Orca has problems with tables that have
  captions in FF3.

+ Fix for bug #527959 - Incorrect caret movement in Firefox 3 on
  certain Web pages.

* Fix for bug #528644 - Orca should indicate when an autocomplete list
  has appeared in FF.

* Fix for bug #532069 - Orca should read field labels on the NLS site.

+ Fix for bug #533125 - Orca does not speak Search textbox in Firefox
  Download Manager if it is empty.

* Fix for bug #534393 - Moving by large object in firefox can skip
  text.

* Fix for bug #535149 - Orca should override Home and End in Firefox 3
  and Thunderbird.

OOo:

  information when navigating and/or selecting text across object
  boundaries in OOo Writer.
