LibreOffice 4.0.5 was released today and I just wanted to make you all
aware that there are at least two accessibility related fixes included
in this release.
Windows:
As Stuart announced earlier the Java Accessibility Bridge is now fixed
for Java 7. This is the first release in the 4.0-series of LibreOffice
that includes this patch. David did a great job with this patch.
Mac:
The first patches from Boris will be in this release. It is a patch to
make VoiceOver follow the keyboard focus. This is a huge step for the
accessibility support on Mac. There are a more improvements to come in
later versions of LibreOffice, such as typing echo information about
text attributes etc. I do not know exactly when these improvements will
be available but they should be in LibreOffice 4.2-series which will be
released in the beginning of next year (~february).
Linux:
Sorry to say that I do not know of any improvements for the Linux version.
