Thanks Slau,
Glad that the aax is accessible with pt10 to a certain degree. It's time
for me to convince school to update to Mavericks along with pt11!

Hi Chi,
OK, I've had a chance to review and refresh my memory of the issues of 10
versus 11. Upon review, version 11 really contains all of the improvements. The
only substantive improvement that version 10 has is mainly the accessibility of
the counters and AAX plug-ins. Regarding the counters, that could quite
possibly be because of Mavericks versus Mountain Lion. It's been 8 months since
I tried version 11 on Mountain Lion and there were a load of problems, not the
least of which was the counter display issue. So, with version 10.3.8, the
counters are readable but, whether that's because of Mavericks or not, I can't
say for sure as I've been on Mavericks since the bulk of the accessibility work
started.
regarding plug-ins, the AAX plug-ins are accessible for the most part in
version 10 but not in the same way as they are in 11. In a pinch, I was able to
use some plug-ins for an emergency after my beta license for 11 ran out. iLok
License Manager not yet being accessible, my only choice at the time was to use
version 10 for which I had purchased a license back before the License Manager
was introduced.
So, with those two mentionable improvements but not much else that I can tell
at a cursory glance, the focus is really on 11.
Hope that helps,
Slau

Hi Slau,
Thanks for the explanation.
I was just wondering how much accessibility improvement in 11 was included in
10.3.8 as well.
Regardless, I'm looking forward to upgrading to 11!

Hi Chi,
Yes, there is a difference. The focus on accessibility in the future will be on
version 11. There were improvements to 10.3.8 for sure but it was not the
primary concentration. From now on, any updates to version 10 will be general
maintenance and will not likely include significant improvements to
accessibility. Much like bug fixes in other software, it's not expected that
the developer will go back to previous versions of the software to fix the
problem. The point is that it's fixed in the new version and that's it. In this
situation, however, there are still people needing to use version 10 during the
transition from 32 to 64 bit and while plug-in developers are pulling up the
rear. I was surprised at how much was actually done in 10.3.8 to begin with.
BTW, one task that is still only doable in 10 and not 11 is to create a custom
nudge value. In 11, a VoiceOver user can only choose from the default values
whereas in 10 they can click a button, type a value and be done. In neither
version is the numeric value visible. Surely, it'll be fixed in 11 at some
point but I doubt it'll be addressed in 10.
Best,
Slau

Hi,
First Slau, congratulation on this milestone! Thank you for making this happen!
Is there any difference in accessibility between pt10.3.8 vs pt11.1?
Thanks,
Chi
