Re: [orca-list] Accerciser

Is this strictly a git version?

I ask this because the official website that I know of still refers to
1.9.3 for being the stable release.  If what I have is an outdated
website, then what would be the new address if so?  Thanks.  I can
experiment with the newer git version to see how it goes on my Arch
box.

Hi Steve,

I rolled the accerciser 1.12.1 release last week.  In the future
I'll make release announcements on the gnome accessibility list.

I've been using this version with CORBA ATSPI but I'm told others
have used Dbus ATSPI2.  If technically possible (eejay would know),
I'd like to allow accerciser to work with both until CORBA ATSPI is
deprecated in most distros.  Were the changes you made to allow it
to work with python2.7 backwards compatible with python2.6?

I assume the website hasn't been changed, has it? When I looked
there, the latest version is 1.9.3 from last year. I now have that
version working on my production system and python 2.7.

I did see that git is being updated some but does refer to the
DBUS stuff. I guess we can start using that version when we start
using DBUS in Orca.

Can anyone tell me what the development and maintenance path is or
will be for this important debugging tool?  I see that the latest
production version is dated Nov 2009 and I didn't see what the latest
giv is of this.  I am aware of many changes on-going with gnome and
the eventual dropping of CORBA and I think, Orbit.  So, will
Accerciser remain to be the a11y checker we now know?

AFAIK, the development of accerciser is going on. In fact, on CSUN
(March 2010) a bug related with a froze of accerciser using at-spi2
(DBUS) was solved, so the eventual dropping of CORBA is being taking
into account.

About the latest production version, not sure if this is related to
the release dates of accerciser.

Anyway, recently the maintainership of accerciser changed, so now
Brian Nitz is the new maintainer, and he made a new release some weeks
ago, although as Eitan told Brian on the last gnome accessibility
meeting, it would be a good idea to announce that on the gnome
accessibility devel list.
