Re: Warning about the newest NVDA update
The NVDA developers did think of this. This is one of the reasons why, even though this update was released in 2020, it's called 2019.3. They decided to delay the release so that the majority of the addons could be updated. There are several that are still WIP, but most of the official addons have been updated, with others like speech history being finalized right now.
The one last major holdout from what I'm aware is NVDA Remote, which is actually mostly updated. The problem right now is the developers. Other people did most of the work to port Remote, but now the developers are not communicating with the community to explain what they still need to do, why the update has not been released. NVAccess themselves don't seem to be very happy about this, but Remote isn't their responsibility even if the NVDA devs did do some of the work to port it over. NVAccess should not be responsible for addons that aren't necessary for the core functioning of NVDA. They already have enough to worry about in that regard, possibly more than they can handle. NVDA is still great, but I've noticed a downward spiral since 2018 in performance. I'm hoping that 2019.3 will fix some of these things, and that the modernization will pave the way to fixing more of them.
