[orca-list] BIG Flag day - Orca master branch now includes braille refactor



Hi All:

I need your testing help.

I just merged the braille generator refactor into the git master branch. This merge represents the last major step in the generator refactoring for bug #570658. It has caught a number of latent bugs, improved the braille output, improved performance, and simplified the code base.

However...69 files have changed with 2417 insertions and 3842 deletions. As such, this is a HUGE flag day and the Orca master branch *may* be unstable. We've tried testing things as thoroughly as we could, but we may have missed some things and need your help. For those of you who know how to build/install from the master branch, please give the master branch a try and let us know if things seem to have regressed.

Please try also to remain focused. That is, this does NOT mean let me know if a known bug is still there, if some brand new application or OS distribution you've never tried before shows some problems, if you have a new feature request, if you want me to check in an existing patch, if you want to wax poetic about something, etc. Instead, please focus solely on the behavior of Orca before and after this change. It should be the same or better.

Note to Attila - as soon as things look OK with the master branch, I will re-evaluate your patch attached to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=585417.

BTW, the commit ID just prior to this merge is 3e3256f55c8a17663ae6f7a0e9ea4b1a4311b180.

Thanks in advance!

Will
