2.27.90 - 09-Aug-2009 General: * Fix for bgo#480883 - User can pan right in braille indefinitely at the end of a web page * Fix for bgo#523693 - Positioning of the cursor when editing text This fixes a 'jumping cursor' problem when deleting text in the middle of a long text area and also adds a _realignViewport method to braille.py. The method works off new settings (you need to hand-edit your ~/.orca/user-settings.py or ~/.orca/orca-customizations.py file for now): ALIGN_BRAILLE_BY_EDGE = 0 ALIGN_BRAILLE_BY_MARGIN = 1 ALIGN_BRAILLE_BY_WORD = 2 brailleAlignmentMargin = 3 brailleMaximumJump = 8 brailleAlignmentStyle = ALIGN_BRAILLE_BY_EDGE The default alignment style matches what we have today. The ALIGN_BRAILLE_BY_MARGIN style uses brailleAlignmentMargin and is effectively a "push" model - when you get to the edge of the display, the viewport is pushed to keep the cursor cell at the margin (until you reach the edge of the text). The ALIGN_BRAILLE_BY_WORD style uses brailleAlignmentMargin in the same push model above, but when it pushes the viewport, it pushes it so the edge lands on a word boundary. In the event we hit a really long word, the brailleMaximumJump setting limits how far we jump. * Fix for bgo#570070 - Remove 'item' from spoken string that represents position/index information * Fix for bgo#574344 - Support for different progress bar "verbosity levels" should be implemented * Fix for bgo#576847 - Add ability to 'flash' braille messages This adds a 'flashTime' parameter to the braille.displayMessage and braille.displayRegions methods. If it is 0, the message will not be flashed. If it is greater than 0, the current message on the display will be saved and the new message will be flashed for flashTime milliseconds. If it is less than 0, the current message on the display will be saved and the new message will be shown until some other action, such as a keypress or cursor routing key press, causes the display to revert back to the original message. * Fix for bgo#578832 - Flash locking modifier key state in braille This flashes a message for the Caps Lock modifier if the "Enable locking keys" checkbox is checked on the "Key Echo" tab in the Orca preferences UI. The flash time is settable via the 'brailleFlashTime' setting which represents the number of milliseconds to flash a message. * Fix for bgo#582318 - Pressing panning buttons on the braille display should not interrupt speech * Fix for bgo#582491 - Strange message table behavior with Evolution * Fix for bgo#589610 - isupper should be used on unicode and not UTF-8 strings * Fix for bgo#590219 - Incorrect text displayed with Orca quit confirmation dialog when the user using non english locale * Fix for bgo#590378 - configure.in and orca.spec.in need updating for compile and runtime dependencies. * Fix for bgo#590382 - Orca should have a script for packagemanager OpenOffice/StarOffice: * Fix for bgo#363820 - Orca should inform the user when text in given cell in Calc is too wide for that column Thunderbird: * Fix for bgo#590267 - Thunderbird's rendering of smileys as named paragraphs without accessible text causes Orca to speak the tutorial message inappropriately New and updated translations (THANKS EVERYONE!!!): bn Bengali Maruf Ovee and Jamil Ahmed es Spanish Francisco Javier Dorado Martínez hu Hungarian Attila Hammer and Gabor Kelemen ==========
