Hey Mario. I think it is uber-awesome that this upgrade was chosen. And I really don't want to discourage you from doing it. <grins> But I feel obligated to point out that because you all going to start shipping Orca 3.10.x (to replace the ancient 3.4.x) I am planning to do another 3.10 release which includes this fix and a few others which are simple, safe, and important. The changes are already in the gnome-3-10 branch upstream should you be interested in knowing what they are. I'll probably roll that tarball the same time I do the 3.12.0 one.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks. --joanie On 03/21/2014 12:54 PM, Mario Lang wrote: > Hi. > > This upload of orca 3.11.92 was basically motivated by a bug in > 3.10 regarding brailleLinkIndicator.
