===============
* 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, braille, and/or magnification. Orca development
has been led by the Sun Microsystems, Inc., Accessibility Program Office
via continued engagement with its end users and generous contributions
from the Mozilla Foundation and wonderful community members.

===================================
* What's changed for Orca v2.25.92?
===================================
2.25.92 - 02-Mar-2009
General:
* Fix for bug #387556 - Arrowing past last character at end of line in
Orca results in no speech
* More fixing for bug #419123 - Modified speech settings do not change
immediately in preferences dialog. There was an issue with setting
the uppercase and/or hyperlink voice settings the first time.
* Fix for bug #517387 - Orca should not read password out in gdm login
window
* Fix for bug #570390 - Spellcheck in evolution is badly broken
* Fix for bug #572215 - Opening preferences launches magnifier. This
would result in screen flickering and potential corruption of the
desktop display.
* Fix for bug #572218 - Order of variables not changeable
* Fix for bug #572294 - Need a sanity check in the default script's
locusOfFocusChanged
* Fix for bug #573156 - Add a notify-osd script
* Fix for bug #573535 - Orca should use the 16x16 pixels application
icon for Main and Preferences windows. This keeps the icon at the
48x48 size that has been used to date, but makes sure it is used on
all the windows shown by Orca. If we decide to go from 48x48 to
16x16, we can change the new set_orca_icon method in orca_glade.py.
Pidgin:
* Fix for bug #572303 - Double-speaking of characters entered into
pidgin account creation
Thunderbird:
* Fix for bug #571812 - Orca does not read the next message in
thunderbird when deleting if first column does not change
Firefox:
* Fix for bug #570550 - (ARIA) UIUC Number Guessing Game Alert not
presented when it changes
* Fix for bug #570567 - Where am I for link does not speak the link
text
* Fix for bug #570757 - Orca can get stuck when browsing pages with
embedded panels in FF 3.x
* Fix for bug #573174 - Gecko script.py calls debug.printException
when there isn't an exception
* Work on bug #573303 - Support text attribute and spelling error
notification in FF. Limit the speaking of font names to just the
first family listed. This is much less verbose and much more
usable.
