Hey guys. As you will see on this Fedora bug [1], there is now a working Python 3 based Orca package with the shiny new features that Orca users have been asking for such as the elements lists dialogs (links, headings, form fields, and a bunch of other ones) and on-the-fly language switching. That's the good news.
The bad news, as you'll also see mentioned in that bug, is that there is no brltty support included. That raises the question: Do we nix the new features or do we go without braille support? I don't know about you, but I find both of those choices decidedly unsatisfactory. We of course cannot take braille away. That's a given. But it really is a drag to have tell Fedora users they cannot have the features in Orca they have been asking for. Fortunately, if we can get a stable Python 3 based brltty and brlapi, we should be able to have both the new Orca features and continued braille support. So as much as I hate to be a noodge.... Can y'all please, please do a release so the Fedora packagers can move forward on this? Thank you VERY much in advance! --joanie [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=914972 _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
