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

=========================
What's Changed in 3.5.2?
=========================

For users:

  * Improve Orca's presentation of gnome-shell/clutter dialog boxes

  * Handle traceback seen with embedded object chars in Yelp

  * Fix a bug in the state change notifiers

  * Don't ignore MouseButtonEvent instances due to timestamp

  * Fix for Orca saying "Primary" for mnemonic Ctrl++

  * Fix for bug 659588, Orca presents Ctrl+Plus and Ctrl+Minus
    accelerators partially-translated

  * Fix for speech keybindings failing when no speech settings have
    been saved

  * Remove the now-redundant 'orca -q/--quit' and 'orca -f/--forcequit'
    (pkill works reliably)

  * Ensure we eliminate replaced Orca processes

  * Handle multiple and alternate installations better

  * Eliminate the Orca shell script and cause Orca to run as a single
    process rather than two

For translators (whom we love):

  * GNOME Goal: Remove markup in messages

  * Add translator notes; provide more detail for vague ones

  * Workaround for intltool not including translator notes for orca.in

  * Fix for bug 675522 - incorrect comment for translators

Other:

  * Much work towards the Python 3 migration

  * Fix for bug 658834 - Use GDbus via gobject-introspection instead
    dbus-python

  * Revert "Interim fix for bug 672242"

  * Fix for bug 669813 - Remove pyxdg dependency

  * Get rid of the forced-qui-prefs when there are no settings.

  * Continued general code cleanup
