We encourage all users to upgrade to this version. *Highlights* This release includes a new built-in Magnifier feature, improvements to touch gestures and navigation, and expanded speech and braille capabilities. The Magnifier provides zoom and color filtering options to assist users with visual impairments. The Magnifier currently only supports fullscreen mode, with docked modes planned in a future release. Touch support has been significantly expanded with new pinch gestures and touch-based browse mode navigation for web content. You can now navigate between links, headings, form fields, and other elements using touch flicks. Speech features have been enhanced with support for custom speech dictionaries that can be provided by add-ons and new dictionary entry types for more granular control. A new voice setting for OneCore voices was added to control pauses after punctuation. A new command allows repeating the last spoken information, with the ability to display it in a browsable message. The default gesture to repeat the last spoken information is NVDA+x, which can be changed in the Input Gestures dialog. The braille display can now automatically scroll and DotPad devices support multi-button combinations. The default gesture to toggle automatic scroll is NVDA+alt+k. Liblouis has been updated with new Italian and Estonian braille tables. When resetting NVDA to factory defaults, an Undo button is now available to restore the previous configuration. *Important Note:* Please note, after updating any software, it is a good idea to restart the computer. Restart by going to the Shutdown dialog, selecting “restart” and pressing ENTER. Updating software can change files which are in use. This can lead to instability and strange behaviour which is resolved by rebooting. This is the first thing to try if you do notice anything odd after updating. *Links* While downloading NVDA, please consider becoming a *monthly donor* <https://us.list-manage.com/D8X7zpnuFcb?e=c6b748eb5f&c2id=903375db3e2ec0bc5fae1712332bbd4e>.
