Hey guys.
Given that the Gecko-based Yelp 2 is long gone, that script has just
been removed from Orca master. (It remains in the orca-xdesktop branch.)
After I got rid of that old script, I took a look at Yelp 3 and
Epiphany. What I discovered is that, unlike their quirky Gecko-based
counterparts, these WebKitGtk-based apps behave so nicely and
consistently that we really don't need separate scripts for them. So
this functionality is now handled at the toolkit level -- something
which should not only simplify Orca's code further, but should also make
it more likely that other WebKitGtk apps will either JustWork(tm) with
Orca or can be made to work with very little additional effort. Yay! :)
As for why this is important for you to know: If you are using Orca
from master, you will want to do a make uninstall *before* pulling and
building Orca from master. Otherwise you may find unexpected
side-effects resulting from the cruft left behind.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Take care.
