=============
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?

"dialog" widgets

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
