Announcing Orca v3.5.90 and v3.7.0.90



=============
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.

Orca 3.5.x is based on Python 2 and will be shipped with GNOME 3.6. Orca
3.7.0.x is based on Python 3, and will be shipped with GNOME 3.8, or
earlier depending on your distro. We will strive to keep these two
branches behavior- and feature-consistent between now and the 3.6 release.

==================================
What's Changed in 3.5.90/3.7.0.90?

    use caret navigation
