* Thu Mar 21 2024 pgajdosAATTsuse.com- remove dependency on /usr/bin/python3 using %python3_fix_shebang macro, [bsc#1212476]
* Wed Mar 13 2024 Dominique Leuenberger - Update to version 46.0: + Meson: Allow building without git executable. + Spiel: - Fix language and dialect fallback. - Catch all of Spiel\'s initialization errors. - Respect both speech system override, and user preference. - Avoid shutting Spiel down if still in use. + Key handling: - Eliminate unnecessary keygrab refreshes in the web script. - Fix new-keyhandling regression in bypass mode. + Thunderbird: Adjust to Thunderbird\'s new way of doing things when a message is deleted. + General: - Fix false positive identifying redundant name-change events. - Fix regressions introduced by the accessible-text code rewrite. + Updated translations.- Drop orca-without-git.patch: fixed upstream.
* Wed Feb 21 2024 Dominique Leuenberger - Update to version 46.beta: + Orca now uses meson instead of autotools. + Orca no longer depends on the python3-pyatspi package; it accesses AT-SPI2 directly through gobject introspection. + Orca now has an optional dependency on the Spiel library. Please see \"Experimental Features\" in README.md for details. + New and Updated Features: - Spiel support has been added to Orca. Spiel is a new speech synthesis API that works with eSpeak and Piper, with other synthesizers planned. + Web: - Handled several issues causing Orca to jump unexpectedly to the top of the page. - Interrupt speech before presenting new line/location with caret nav. This should improve behavior when arrowing rapidly within content. - Fix bug causing \"\\ufffc\" to be shown in braille instead of the link. - Eliminate (nearly all of) our text sanity-checks and hacks that had been in place for Firefox/Gecko bugs. Mozilla fixed those bugs as part of their Cache The World work. This should improve performance. + General: - Fix bug causing focus to be incorrectly changed when selection is automatically updated in a related tree. This can happen with email applications (e.g. incoming messages). - Fix bug causing us to skip certain named elements in StackExchange and StackOverflow. - Fix several terminal-related flat review issues. - Fix notifications in KDE not being fully presented by Notification Presenter. - Don\'t say \"Window\" when a MATE switcher window first appears. - Echo sentence after whitespace typed rather than punctuation so the presentation does not get cut off. - Fix bug causing Orca to speak an object from the wrong window in Mouse Review. - Listen for and present document:page-changed events. - Remove logic from the Event Manager that was obsoleted by the ability to obsolete queued events. Make remaining logic more performant. - Convert Orca from using pyatspi to using AT-SPI2 directly. Much code clean-up was also done in the process. - Miscellaneous code changes related to becoming more ready for Wayland. + Updated translations.- Add orca-without-git.patch: allow building without git installed.- Add meson BuildRequires: follow upstreams port to meson.- Drop py3atspi Requires: upstream changed to gobject-introspection, so we have an automatic dependency on typelib() now.- Add pkgconfig(gtk+-3.0) BuildRequires: dependency checked by meson.
* Thu Jan 18 2024 Dominique Leuenberger - Update to version 46.alpha: + The much-requested \"sleep mode\" has arrived! You can cause Orca to act as if it were not running on an as-needed, per-app basis with Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Q. This makes it much easier to use VMs in which another screen reader is being used as well as self-voicing apps. + Orca now has commands to present information about the system without having to navigate to the bar or widget that displays them: - Present CPU and memory usage (unbound, requires psutil) - Present battery status (unbound, requires psutil) + Table navigation commands now work everywhere; not just in web browsers and LibreOffice. In addition to the existing commands, the following commands have been added: - Orca+Shift+T: toggle table navigation (it\'s enabled by default) - Orca+Alt+Shift+Left/Right/Up/Down: move to the final cell in the specified direction. + Orca\'s outdated tutorial message feature has been removed. In its place is support for customized help messages which application and toolkit developers can provide via ATK/AT-SPI2\'s new \"help text\" API. At the present time, we are unaware of any implementations and thus have not enabled these new tutorial messages by default. + We now always use Atspi\'s device API for Orca commands. This was initially in place only for Gtk 4 apps, which do not report keystrokes to us for optional construction. Having addressed the majority of issues with this new API, we believe it is ready to be used for all applications and toolkits. + Web and Electron Apps Improvements: - Include DLs in list navigation and DTs in list item navigation. - Improve presentation of VSCode\'s selection containers. - Web: Improve performance of navigation to end of document + LibreOffice Bug Fix: - Ensure the entire word count dialog is presented when the dialog is shown. + General Improvements and Fixes: - Improve performance by identifying and quickly dismissing obsolete accessible events. - Improve performance by using AT-SPI2\'s cache for everything. - Fix bug causing utterances to be split up unexpectedly. - Announce the has popup state even in non-web contexts. - Lots of code clean-up and more work to eliminate our dependency on pyatspi.
* Tue Jan 16 2024 Dominique Leuenberger - Update to version 45.2: + Web: Fix bug causing us to get stuck in menu bar during caret navigation. + General: Dump our cached information in response to children-changed events so that we do not present stale information. + Updated translations.
* Fri Oct 06 2023 Bjørn Lie - Update to version 45.1: + Web: - Fix regression in bookmark support. - Fix bug causing Orca to present some custom widgets as an image. + General: - Fix bug causing Orca to ignore objects that are valid because they had been defunct/invalid before. - Fix bug causing rewind and fast-forward in SayAll to fail. - Fix chattiness issue in mate-panel. - Only examine descriptions by default in isSameObject for Gtk apps for performance reasons. - Use AXObject.is_dead instead of the script utility for performance reasons. - Revert \"Don\'t let brlapi crash us\". This change was a workaround put in place to give distros enough time to get the fixed brltty, but it had a slight performance impact if braille was enabled but not being used. - Stop using deprecated Gtk API in the accessible actions menu. + Updated translations.
* Fri Sep 15 2023 Bjørn Lie - Update to version 45.0: + Updated translations.
* Wed Sep 06 2023 Luciano Santos - Update to version 45.rc: + Bug Fixes: - Fix several performance issues. - Fix bug causing utterances to be split up unexpectedly. - Filter out redundant descriptions to reduce chattiness. - Fix tracebacks resulting from hand-editing user-settings.conf. + Updated translations.
* Tue Aug 15 2023 Bjørn Lie - Update to version 45.beta2: + Do not crash when BrlApi.Connection() crashes as a consequence of BrlTTY having been built with Cython 3.
* Mon Aug 14 2023 Bjørn Lie - Update to version 45.beta: + Bug Fixes: - Use importlib instead of imp. This is needed for Orca to work in Python 3.12 - Fix regression in flat review braille panning - Fix presentation of Calc selected cells - Fix the \"screen reader on\" message getting cut off - Treat LibreOffice as not supporting AtspiCollection (otherwise it can become non-responsive) + Feature Changes: Change the default button in the list-of dialogs from \"jump to\" to \"activate\" + Updated translations.
* Tue Aug 08 2023 Bjørn Lie - Update to version 45.alpha: + Object Navigator: This allows the user to navigate through a hierarchy of UI objects. Bindings: - Ctrl+Orca+Up/Down for navigating between parent/child - Ctrl+Orca+Left/Right for navigating among siblings - Ctrl+Orca+Return for performing a click - Ctrl+Orca+S to toggle the simplification of the object hierarchy + Flat Review can now by restricted to the current object of interest to eliminate \"noise\" from irrelevant objects. Binding: Currently unbound + Flat Review now has a command that displays the entire contents being reviewed in an editable text view, making it easier to copy and paste the contents of terminals, dialogs, etc. Binding: Currently unbound + Action Presenter: A popup menu for performing accessible actions on an object, such as click, expand/collapse, press. This should make it easier to interact with applications with poor keyboard navigability. Binding: Orca+Shift+A + The Notification List feature was re-written. It now uses an actual Gtk list rather than an off-screen one. The review announcements now include a timestamp and the dialog allows you to clear the history. + Preferences Dialog and Shortcuts List are now grouped based on feature, making it far easier to discover and bind/rebind commands of interest. + The Structural Navigation command to navigate among form fields was remapped from Orca+Tab/Orca+Shift+Tab to F/Shift+F. A new command was also added to navigate among iframes, which is currently unbound. + Added a command to present the default button. Binding: Orca+E. + Modify Orca\'s left-click functionality to prefer actions which are associated with performing a left click (e.g. click, press, jump, open) and only attempt to synthesize a click as a last resort. + Added the ability to temporarily suspend registration for accessibility events which can greatly improve performance at times event floods are likely, such as window creation/destruction and activation/deactivation. + Started preferring AtspiCollection over child iteration to locate descendants in the accessibility tree. The performance improvement can be up to 10 times faster. We will continue making changes in this area between now and the stable release. + Started relying on speech-dispatcher for character presentation rather than our own character names dictionary, which we were not always using. This should cause Orca to always speak the character name in the same way. + Interrupt speech conditionally on focus changes. This is needed for Gtk 4 on Wayland because we currently do not get notifications for input events, which had been our most reliable hint to interrupt speech. The heuristics to identify when we should not interrupt speech are still being refined, but hopefully this will make the user experience a bit more tolerable until a solution is agreed upon and implemented. See https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/issues/1046 for more information. + A number of improvements to reduce some lagginess and chattiness in certain web apps. + Added logic to filter out windows which claim to be active but really aren\'t, including descendants of mutter-x11-frames, the desktop frame of some window environments, and certain Electron apps. + Updated translations.
