2.27.3 - 15-June-2009
General:
* We no longer manually update the ChangeLog each time we commit a
change. Instead, the ChangeLog will be automatically generated from
the git logs when we create a new release. If you pull from git,
you can use 'git log' for a detailed list of changes.
* Much work on bgo#570658 - Refactor the speech and braille
generators. This represents a HUGE REFACTOR for Orca. The speech
generators have been completely rewritten to use formatting strings,
and they are now used by the focus tracking and where am I code.
This has simplified the code base a lot, increased performance in
some areas, and has fixed a number of latent bugs. It also enables
finer granularity for switching voices and helps set us up for
incorporating audio cues. Please help us by testing with the latest
code and by reporting issues and suggestions at
[email protected].
* Fix for bgo#583274 - portability for orca script (Thomas Klausner)
* Fix for bgo#585017 - Orca should speak the toggled state of flat
review mode
* Fix for bgo#585792 - i18n strings should use parameterized forms
OpenOffice:
* Significant progress on bgo#574720 - Table Navigation Keys for
OpenOffice Writer. Structural navigation can be enabled/disabled in
OOo with Orca+Z. It is disabled by default in OOo because, unlike in
Gecko, odds are that you'll want to type. :-) Mind you right now we
don't have structural navigation by headings, etc. in Writer. But
one day we will. Alt + the arrows move by cell, Alt + Home/End move
to the beginning/ending of the table respectively.
* Fix for bug #583414 - Orca should announce when is at last cell on
a table in OOo.
