Announcing Orca v2.23.3

* What is Orca?
===============

Orca is a free, open source, flexible, and extensible screen reader that
provides access to the graphical desktop via user-customizable
combinations of speech, braille, and/or magnification.  Orca development
has been led by the Sun Microsystems, Inc., Accessibility Program Office
via continued engagement with its end users and generous contributions
from the Mozilla Foundation and wonderful community members.

The Orca v2.23.3 release is targeted for the GNOME v2.23.3 development 
release and requires the latest at-spi/pyatspi infrastructure from GNOME 
v2.23.3, including atk and gail.

You can also read more about Orca at http://live.gnome.org/Orca.

==================================
* What's changed for Orca v2.23.3?
==================================

Lots!  In addition, anything in the list below that begins with a '+' is 
in both the gnome-2-22 branch and trunk (this release).

2.23.3 - 02-Jun-2008

General:

+ Fix for bug #371637 - Orca repeats "Location:" info repeatedly in
   Nautilus File Browser Dialog.

   settings.

* Fix for bug #463646 - Orca doesn't announce the presence of
   unfocused dialogs when an app gains focus.

* Additional fix for bug #520494 - Keyboard review punctuation in
   Firefox.  (This was actually a general fix not isolated to Firefox)

* Fix for bug #524998 - Selection is not shown if Ctrl+A is used to do
   "Select All".

* Reversed the fix for bug #529784 - Speech cannot always be
   interrupted with flat review.  Further investigation done by

   orca_state.lastNonModifierKeyEvent is non-None.

   navigate them.

   certain Web pages.

* Fix for bug #528644 - Orca should indicate when an autocomplete list
   has appeared in FF.
