[orca-list] Orca Flag Day - contracted braille support now requires liblouis 1.6.2 or better



Hi:

I made a change to the Orca sources in the git master branch today as a result of http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=561452

In nutshell: Orca was using liblouis 1.5.2 and Orca's own custom Python module for liblouis. This was necessary because liblouis didn't provide its own Python bindings. Liblouis now has its own Python bindings, so we've migrated the code to use those bindings. Moving to the Python bindings provided directly by liblouis is the right thing to do. Without this, Orca users would not be able to easily take advantage of updates to liblouis.

The impact, however, is that you need to upgrade to liblouis 1.6.2 and also build/install its Python bindings to use contracted braille with Orca from the git master branch.

I've updated http://live.gnome.org/Orca/Braille with instructions for how to build/install liblouis 1.6.2 and the liblouis 1.6.2 Python bindings.

Will
