Re: [orca-list] Announcing Orca v3.6.2 and v3.7.0.95



Hi all, will we get the latest orca in automatic 12.10 updates? If not, it shouldn't be too hard to compile 
from source right? Thanks a lot, and thanks for the hard work on orca.

Thanks,

Guy

Hi,
Thanks for the latest release of Orca. I was just wondering, does XFCE/LXDE support still work in the 
current Python3.X versions?
Thanks

=============
What is Orca?
=============

Orca is a free, open source, flexible, and extensible screen reader
that provides access to the graphical desktop via user-customizable
combinations of speech and refreshable braille.

You can read more about Orca at http://live.gnome.org/Orca.

=================
Why two versions?
=================

Having two parallel versions of Orca was easier than trying to have a
single version of Orca which would work nicely in both Python 2 and
Python 3. This is, however, the last of the dual-version Orcas. Going
forward Orca will require Python 3.3.

==================================
What's Changed in 3.6.2/3.7.0.95?
==================================

General

 * Fix for bug 674526 - Orca sometimes fails to present download
   "dialog" widgets

 * Fix for bug 688057 - A page that hangs orca

 * Fix for Orca continuing to speak when speech is disabled via
   the preferences dialog

 * Improve performance of building flat review context

 * Fix for bug 687527 - Handle applications returning 0 in
   minimalIncrement for Value

 * Use subprocess.Popen() instead of the deprecated os.popen()

 * Use for() instead of map() in cleanup()

 * Fix for bug 686189 - Use importlib.import_module() instead of
   __import__() and imp.reload() instead of reload()

 * Fix to braille email address auto completions in Thunderbird

 * Pkill fails to kill Orca in Python 3 (3.7.0.95 only)

 * Fix for bug 687526 - Orca excepts trying to output exceptions
   (3.7.0.95 only)

Where can I get it?
===================
