Hi All:
Immediately after releasing Orca v2.27.91 today, I branched Orca for
gnome-2-28. The gnome-2-28 branch will be used for the remainder of the
GNOME 2.28.x cycle and all new work will take place on master.
Thanks everyone!

Hi All:
As part of http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=592741, which was

Hi All:
As part of work on http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591734, we
needed to expose the 'no break space' character (nbsp; in HTML or

#. character (e.g.,
Hi All:
A user had an excellent suggestion to add --debug and --debug-file
options to the command line to enable the debug feature of Orca. Prior
to this, users had to hand edit a file, which was a pain in the neck and
was also error prone. We added these two strings to the usage text for

While I disagree with Brian's assessment (I think he tends to lean more
to the 'it's OK as long as an able-bodied sysadmin can configure the
system for the disabled user' side than the 'let the user be

Hi All:
Thanks so much for all your hard work translating Orca. The Orca team
and end users definitely appreciate it!
We ran into an issue with Orca where we were outside the boundaries of
the Section 508 guidelines, which is a definite bad thing for us to do:
Darn! So sorry about that. I'm not sure why it was done that way, but
I just fixed it. Hopefully this is the last surprise. I just did a
diff between the orca.pot from the Orca v2.20.0.1 tag and the gnome-2-20
branch, and it looks like we should be set. The only difference is that

Hi Claude:
Orca will do an uppercase check (string.decode(UTF-8).isupper() in
Python) on the characters and change the pitch of the speech voice that
it uses to speak the character. If you keep the translation so that it
has uppercase letters, the behavior to change the pitch should carry
over

Hi All:
With the release of Orca v2.19.6, we've branched Orca for GNOME 2.20.
The Orca v2.19.6 sources represent the beginning of the branch

starting some aggressive refactoring work on the trunk.
Between now and the release of
