===============
* 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.

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

==================================
* What's changed for Orca v2.26.3?
==================================

2.26.3 - 29-Jun-2009

General:

* Fix for bug #511468 - Ekiga chat window accessibility problem

* Fix for bug #574221 - left-pane in Ekiga's preference box can't be
   read at start-up

* Fix for bug #586890 - Orca 2.27.3 and earlier will crash if liblouis
   1.6.2 python bindings are installed

OpenOffice/StarOffice:

* Fix for bug #583811 - Doing a select all in OOo Writer causes Orca
   to say "selected" for each paragraph

Thunderbird:

* Fix for bug #584837 - Find dialog fails to move caret to desired
   location in Thunderbird

* Fix for bug #568658 - Sometimes Orca announces the wrong subject in
   Thunderbird.  This change causes us to dump the pyatspi cache if
   we're in Thunderbird and exit flat review. As a result, we should
   not have bogus table data hanging around.

Firefox:

* Fix for bug #530784 - whereAmI info for list items in web content
   needs to be improved

* Fix for bug #577900 - Blank lines in Firefox text areas incorrectly
   spoken

New and updated translations (THANKS EVERYONE!!!):
