Announcing Orca v2.29.2

===============
* 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 read more about Orca at http://live.gnome.org/Orca.

==================================
* What's changed for Orca v2.29.2?
==================================

2.29.2 - 16-Nov-2009

NOTE - as a result of work on bgo#598917, you must now use
"orca --replace" if you want the new Orca process to kill any existing
processes.  Prior to this, merely running "orca" would automatically
kill any existing processes.  The new behavior is more consistent with
the way singleton instances are handled by many other applications.

General:

* Provisional support for the GNOME Shell Magnifier (a work in
   progress)

* Fix for bgo#554688 - Navigation in gconf-editor doesn't work

* Fix for bgo#597159 - Orca does not provide access to the contents of
   Packagemanager's HTML container

* Fix for bgo#597170 - Add support for Banshee script (thanks Eitan!)

* Fix for bgo#598917 -  Orca Multiple Instances

   NOTE: you must now use "orca --replace" if you want the new Orca
   process to kill any existing Orca process. Prior to this, merely
   running "orca" would automatically kill any existing processes.  The
   new behavior is more consistent with the way singleton instances are
   handled by many other applications.

* Fix for bgo#600372 - Orca handles text configuration input
   incorrectly

* Fix for bgo#600539 - Man page improvements (thanks Arky!)
