Re: [orca-list] Need Orca installation tip/guidelines

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Ashis:

Orca is under continual development, and we rarely backport fixes from 
new versions of Orca to older versions.  So, the benefits of using a 
more modern Orca are that it contains more fixes and features than past 
versions.  The same applies to GNOME itself.  The NEWS file for Orca 
contains all the details:

http://svn.gnome.org/svn/orca/trunk/NEWS

The Orca road map contains a summary:
