[orca-list] Vinux 3.2 Released!



I am happy to announce the release of Vinux 3.2 based on Ubuntu 11.04 - this is a cutting edge release 
featuring the latest versions of Orca (3.1.2-xdesktop) and Speech-Dispatcher (0.8~2784+13~maverick1) from the 
daily build repos. This version is available as CD and DVD in both 32 and 64 bit. The DVD version provides 
the same software as the CD but with the addition of libreoffice and some non-free multimedia codecs etc. The 
default desktop is Classic Gnome 2.x but Unity is available from the GDM login screen if your video card 
supports 3D. This release includes the Pico TTS voices in addition to Espeak, the Epiphany Internet Browser 
and built-in keybindings to quickly organise multiple windows with x-tile. It also features some new packages 
including Orca-Teacher, Talking Clock and CDBurn. This version also plays a system bell when the isolinux 
boot screen appears allowing you to select different boot options including an experimental 'toram' mode.

Known Bugs:

Selecting the Cicero speech synth will crash Orca and you will have to run: orca -t to reset everything back 
to the way it was. So do not select Cicero.

The x-tile keybinding to 'quad' tile open windows was set to 'win+alt+v' by accident - to correct this open 
the keyboard shortcuts manager and re-assign it to 'win+alt+q' - then the vertical tile option will work as 
well (win+alt+v).
