|

<h2 id="20261">2026.1</h2>
|
||
<p>Ovo izdanje uključuje podršku za čitanje matematičkog sadržaja uz MathCAT, koji je sada ugrađen u NVDA.</p>
|
||
<p>Tu je nekoliko poboljšanja za govor.
|
||
Pravopisne i gramatičke greške sada mogu biti prijavljivane zvučnim signalom umjesto govorom prilikom čitanja.
|
||
Sada možete podesiti NVDA da automatski izgovara sve nakon uspješnog prepoznavanja sadržaja, kao što je Windows OCR.
|
||
NVDA više neće označavati jezik koji se čita kao nepodržan kada govorna sinteza podržava jezik, ali ne i specifični dijalekt.
|
||
NVDA sada podržava 64-bitne SAPI5 glasove.</p>
|
||
<p>Podrška za brajicu je također poboljšana.
|
||
Sada rade i na sigurnim zaslonima, kao što su onaj za prijavu ili kontrolu korisničkog računa.
|
||
NVDA poruke s lokalnog računara se prikazuju na brajici prilikom kontrolisanja računara putem udaljenog pristupa.
|
||
Pravopisne i gramatičke greške, kao i broj stavki na popisu, sada mogu biti prikazane i na brajici.
|
||
Druge ispravke za brajicu, uključujući one za Microsoft Outlook i LibreOffice Writer, su također dodane.</p>
|
||
<p>U načinu pretraživanja u web pretraživačima, NVDA kontrole s širinom ili visinom 0 više neće tretirati kao nevidljive.
|
||
To bi moglo omogućiti pristup prethodno nepristupačnom sadržaju "samo za čitače zaslona" na nekim web stranicama.
|
||
Neispravne veze više ne sprječavaju NVDA da čita sadržaj u Google Chromeu i drugim pretraživačima čija je osnova Chromium.
|
||
Isticanje kursora načina pretraživanja sada se pojavljuje i u rezultatima prepoznavanja sadržaja, kao što je Windows OCR.
|
||
Dodane su nedodijeljene komande za prelaženje na reference u Microsoft Wordu.
|
||
One su također prikazane i na popisu elemenata.</p>
|
||
<p>Sada je moguće pregledati rezultate skeniranja virusa za dodatak iz trgovine dodataka.
|
||
Za dodatke koji ga imaju, možete pregledati dnevnik promjena.
|
||
Poboljšana je pouzdanost pozadinskih ažuriranja dodataka.</p>
|
||
<p>Nova kategorija "Privatnost i sigurnost" dodana je u NVDA postavke.
|
||
Postavke "Nivo zapisivanja" i "Dozvoli NV Accessu prikupljanje statistike upotrebe" su iz kategorije "Općenito" premještene ovdje.
|
||
Postavke za zaslonsku zavjesu su također iz kategorije "Vid" premještene ovdje.
|
||
Osim toga, postavke zaslonske zavjese sada su nezavisne od konfiguracijskih profila.</p>
|
||
<p>NVDA sučelje je sada prevedeno na kambodžanski.
|
||
Liblouis, Unicode CLDR i eSpeak NG su ažurirani.
|
||
Dodane su tablice za engleski stepen 3, japanski (Rokuten Kanji) i makedonsku brajicu.
|
||
Poboljšane su biblijska hebrejska, ujedinjena engleska, grčka međunarodna, mađarska, norveška, portugalska osmotačkasta i slovačka brajeva tabela.
|
||
Dodan je prijevod emotikona za luksemburški.</p>
|
||
<p>Tu je još mnogo drugih ispravki grešaka i poboljšanja.</p>

|
||
To change sanitization rules, such as whitelisting tags or attributes, create a function that calls <code>nh3.clean</code> with the desired parameters.

</ul>
|
||
<h2 id="20241">2024.1</h2>
|
||
<p>A new "on-demand" speech mode has been added.
|
||
When speech is on-demand, NVDA does not speak automatically (e.g. when moving the cursor) but still speaks when calling commands whose goal is explicitly to report something (e.g. report window title).
|
||
In the Speech category of NVDA's settings, it is now possible to exclude unwanted speech modes from the Cycle speech modes command (<code>NVDA+s</code>).</p>
|
||
<p>A new Native Selection mode (toggled by <code>NVDA+shift+f10</code>) is now available in NVDA's browse mode for Mozilla Firefox.
|
||
When turned on, selecting text in browse mode will also manipulate Firefox's own native selection.
|
||
Copying text with <code>control+c</code> will pass straight through to Firefox, thus copying the rich content, rather than NVDA's plain text representation.</p>
|
||
<p>The Add-on Store now supports bulk actions (e.g. installing, enabling add-ons) by selecting multiple add-ons
|
||
There is a new action to open a reviews webpage for the selected add-on.</p>
|
||
<p>The audio output device and ducking mode options have been removed from the "Select Synthesizer" dialog.
|
||
They can be found in the audio settings panel which can be opened with <code>NVDA+control+u</code>.</p>
|
||
<p>eSpeak-NG, LibLouis braille translator, and Unicode CLDR have been updated.
|
||
New Thai, Filipino and Romanian braille tables are available.</p>
|
||
<p>There are many bug fixes, particularly for the Add-on Store, braille, Libre Office, Microsoft Office and audio.</p>

Note however that as Firefox is handling the actual copy, NVDA will not report a "copy to clipboard" message in this mode. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/15830" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #15830">#15830</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>When copying text in Microsoft Word with NVDA's browse mode enabled, formatting is now also included.
|
||
A side affect of this is that NVDA will no longer report a "copy to clipboard" message when pressing <code>control+c</code> in Microsoft Word / Outlook browse mode, as the application is now handling the copy, not NVDA. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/16129" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #16129">#16129</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>A new "on-demand" speech mode has been added.
|
||
When speech is on-demand, NVDA does not speak automatically (e.g. when moving the cursor) but still speaks when calling commands whose goal is explicitly to report something (e.g. report window title). (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/481" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #481">#481</a>, <a class="gh-link gh-mention" href="https://github.com/CyrilleB79" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub User: @CyrilleB79">@CyrilleB79</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>In the Speech category of NVDA's settings, it is now possible to exclude unwanted speech modes from the Cycle speech modes command (<code>NVDA+s</code>). (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/15806" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #15806">#15806</a>, <a class="gh-link gh-mention" href="https://github.com/lukaszgo1" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub User: @lukaszgo1">@lukaszgo1</a>)<ul>

<li>If you are currently using the NoBeepsSpeechMode add-on consider uninstalling it, and disabling "beeps" and "on-demand" modes in the settings.</li>

<li>nose, instead unittest-xml-reporting is used to generate XML reports. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/15544" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #15544">#15544</a>)</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li><code>IAccessibleHandler.SecureDesktopNVDAObject</code> has been removed.
|
||
Instead, when NVDA is running on the user profile, track the existence of the secure desktop with the extension point: <code>winAPI.secureDesktop.post_secureDesktopStateChange</code>.

<h3 id="changes-for-developers_8">Changes for Developers</h3>
|
||
<p>Please refer to <a href="https://www.nvaccess.org/files/nvda/documentation/developerGuide.html#API" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="the developer guide">the developer guide</a> for information on NVDA's API deprecation and removal process.</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><code>braille.handler.handleUpdate</code> and <code>braille.handler.handleReviewMove</code> have been changed in order not to update instantly.
|
||
Before this change, when either of these methods was called very often, this would drain many resources.
|
||
These methods now queue an update at the end of every core cycle instead.
|
||
They should also be thread safe, making it possible to call them from background threads. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/15163" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #15163">#15163</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Added official support to register custom braille display drivers in the automatic braille display detection process.
|
||
Consult the <code>braille.BrailleDisplayDriver</code> class documentation for more details.
|
||
Most notably, the <code>supportsAutomaticDetection</code> attribute must be set to <code>True</code> and the <code>registerAutomaticDetection</code> <code>classmethod</code> must be implemented. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/15196" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #15196">#15196</a>)</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h4 id="deprecations_5">Deprecations</h4>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><code>braille.BrailleHandler.handlePendingCaretUpdate</code> is now deprecated with no public replacement.
|
||
It will be removed in 2024.1. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/15163" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #15163">#15163</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Importing the constants <code>xlCenter</code>, <code>xlJustify</code>, <code>xlLeft</code>, <code>xlRight</code>, <code>xlDistributed</code>, <code>xlBottom</code>, <code>xlTop</code> from <code>NVDAObjects.window.excel</code> is deprecated.
|
||
Use <code>XlHAlign</code> or <code>XlVAlign</code> enumerations instead. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/15205" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #15205">#15205</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>The mapping <code>NVDAObjects.window.excel.alignmentLabels</code> is deprecated.
|
||
Use the <code>displayString</code> methods of <code>XlHAlign</code> or <code>XlVAlign</code> enumerations instead. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/15205" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #15205">#15205</a>)</li>
|
||
<li><code>bdDetect.addUsbDevices</code> and <code>bdDetect.addBluetoothDevices</code> have been deprecated.
|
||
Braille display drivers should implement the <code>registerAutomaticDetection</code> classmethod instead.
|
||
That method receives a <code>DriverRegistrar</code> object on which the <code>addUsbDevices</code> and <code>addBluetoothDevices</code> methods can be used. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/15200" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #15200">#15200</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>The default implementation of the check method on <code>BrailleDisplayDriver</code> uses <code>bdDetect.driverHasPossibleDevices</code> for devices that are marked as thread safe.
|
||
Starting from NVDA 2024.1, in order for the base method to use <code>bdDetect.driverHasPossibleDevices</code>, the <code>supportsAutomaticDetection</code> attribute must be set to <code>True</code> as well. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/15200" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #15200">#15200</a>)</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h2 id="20232">2023.2</h2>
|
||
<p>This release introduces the Add-on Store to replace the Add-ons Manager.
|
||
In the Add-on Store you can browse, search, install and update community add-ons.
|
||
You can now manually override incompatibility issues with outdated add-ons at your own risk.</p>
|
||
<p>There are new braille features, commands, and display support.
|
||
There are also new input gestures for OCR and flattened object navigation.
|
||
Navigating and reporting formatting in Microsoft Office is improved.</p>
|
||
<p>There are many bug fixes, particularly for braille, Microsoft Office, web browsers and Windows 11.</p>
|
||
<p>eSpeak-NG, LibLouis braille translator, and Unicode CLDR have been updated.</p>

<ul>
|
||
<li>Braille:<ul>
|
||
<li>Several stability fixes to input/output for braille displays, resulting in less frequent errors and crashes of NVDA. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/14627" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #14627">#14627</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA will no longer unnecessarily switch to no braille multiple times during auto detection, resulting in a cleaner log and less overhead. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/14524" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #14524">#14524</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA will now switch back to USB if a HID Bluetooth device (such as the HumanWare Brailliant or APH Mantis) is automatically detected and an USB connection becomes available.
|
||
This only worked for Bluetooth Serial ports before. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/14524" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #14524">#14524</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>When no braille display is connected and the braille viewer is closed by pressing <code>alt+f4</code> or clicking the close button, the display size of the braille subsystem will again be reset to no cells. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/15214" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #15214">#15214</a>)</li>

|
||
<li>In Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, typed characters are no longer reported in some text boxes even when speak typed characters is disabled.

|
||
<li>In Mozilla Firefox, moving the mouse over text after a link now reliably reports the text. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/9235" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #9235">#9235</a>)</li>
|
||

|
||
<li>When trying to report the URL for a link without a href attribute NVDA is no longer silent.
|
||
Instead NVDA reports that the link has no destination. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/14723" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #14723">#14723</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>In Browse mode, NVDA will no longer incorrectly ignore focus moving to a parent or child control e.g. moving from a control to its parent list item or gridcell. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/14611" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #14611">#14611</a>)<ul>
|
||

<ul>
|
||
<li>Suggested conventions have been added to the add-on manifest specification.
|
||
These are optional for NVDA compatibility, but are encouraged or required for submitting to the Add-on Store. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/14754" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #14754">#14754</a>)<ul>

|
||
<li>Added the <code>bdDetect.scanForDevices</code> extension point.
|
||
Handlers can be registered that yield <code>BrailleDisplayDriver/DeviceMatch</code> pairs that don't fit in existing categories, like USB or Bluetooth.

|
||
<li><code>hwIo.ioThread.IoThread</code> now has a <code>setWaitableTimer</code> method to set a waitable timer using a python function.

|
||
<li>Translatable strings can now be defined with a singular and a plural form using <code>ngettext</code> and <code>npgettext</code>.

<ul>
|
||
<li>Microsoft Excel via UI Automation: Automatic reporting of column and row headers in tables. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/14228" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #14228">#14228</a>)<ul>
|
||
<li>Note: This is referring to tables formatted via the "Table" button on the Insert pane of the Ribbon.
|
||
"First Column" and "Header Row" in "Table Style Options" correspond to column and row headers respectively.</li>
|
||
<li>This is not referring to screen reader specific headers via named ranges, which is currently not supported via UI Automation.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>An unassigned script has been added to toggle delayed character descriptions. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/14267" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #14267">#14267</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Added an experimental option to leverage the UIA notification support in Windows Terminal to report new or changed text in the terminal, resulting in improved stability and responsivity. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/13781" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #13781">#13781</a>)<ul>

|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>On Windows 11 ARM64, browse mode is now available in AMD64 apps such as Firefox, Google Chrome and 1Password. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/14397" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #14397">#14397</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>A new option has been added, "Paragraph Style" in "Document Navigation".
|
||
This adds support for single line break (normal) and multi line break (block) paragraph navigation.
|
||
This can be used with text editors that do not support paragraph navigation natively, such as Notepad and Notepad++. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/13797" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #13797">#13797</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>The presence of multiple annotations are now reported.
|
||
<code>NVDA+d</code> now cycles through reporting the summary of each annotation target for origins with multiple annotation targets.
|
||
For example, when text has a comment and a footnote associated with it.

|
||
<li>New global command: Report link destination (<code>NVDA+k</code>).
|
||
Pressed once will speak/braille the destination of the link that is in the navigator object.
|
||
Pressing twice will show it in a window, for more detailed review. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/14583" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #14583">#14583</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>New unmapped global command (Tools category): Report link destination in a window.
|
||
Same as pressing <code>NVDA+k</code> twice, but may be more useful for braille users. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/14583" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #14583">#14583</a>)</li>

<h3 id="bug-fixes_11">Bug Fixes</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>When updating NVDA using the Windows Package Manager CLI (aka winget), a released version of NVDA is no longer always treated as newer than whatever alpha version is installed.

|
||
<li>Caret properly follows spoken text during "say all" in applications such as Bookworm, WordPad, or the NVDA log viewer. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/13420" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #13420">#13420</a>, <a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/9179" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #9179">#9179</a>)</li>

|
||
Issues may still exist with versions of Windows older than Windows 10 1809.
|
||
For these fixes to work, applications which NVDA interacts with also need to be DPI aware.
|
||
Note there are still known issues with Chrome and Edge. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/13254" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #13254">#13254</a>)<ul>

|
||
<p>This release introduces support for the new HID Braille specification.
|
||
This specification aims to standardise support for Braille Displays without needing individual drivers.
|
||
There are updates to eSpeak-NG and LibLouis, including new Russian and Tshivenda tables.
|
||
Error sounds can be enabled in stable builds of NVDA via a new advanced settings option.
|
||
Say all in Word now scrolls the view to keep the current position visible.
|
||
There are lots of improvements when using Office with UIA.
|
||
One UIA fix is that Outlook now ignores more types of layout tables in messages.</p>
|
||
<p>Important notes:</p>
|
||
<p>Due to an update to our security certificate, a small number of users get an error when NVDA 2021.2 checks for updates.
|
||
NVDA now asks Windows to update security certificates, which will prevent this error in future.
|
||
Affected users will need to download this update manually.</p>

<ul>
|
||
<li>Note: this is an Add-on API compatibility breaking release. Add-ons will need to be re-tested and have their manifest updated.</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA's build system now fetches all Python dependencies with pip and stores them in a Python virtual environment. This is all done transparently.<ul>
|
||
<li>To build NVDA, SCons should continue to be used in the usual way. E.g. executing scons.bat in the root of the repository. Running <code>py -m SCons</code> is no longer supported, and <code>scons.py</code> has also been removed.</li>
|
||
<li>To run NVDA from source, rather than executing <code>source/nvda.pyw</code> directly, the developer should now use <code>runnvda.bat</code> in the root of the repository. If you do try to execute <code>source/nvda.pyw</code>, a message box will alert you this is no longer supported.</li>
|
||
<li>To perform unit tests, execute <code>rununittests.bat [<extra unittest discover options>]</code></li>
|
||
<li>To perform system tests: execute <code>runsystemtests.bat [<extra robot options>]</code></li>

<h2 id="20193">2019.3</h2>
|
||
<p>NVDA 2019.3 is a very significant release containing many under-the-hood changes including the upgrade of Python 2 to Python 3, and a major re-write of NVDA's speech subsystem.
|
||
Although these changes do break compatibility with older NVDA add-ons, the upgrade to Python 3 is necessary for security, and the changes to speech allow for some exciting innovations in the near future.
|
||
Other highlights in this release include 64 bit support for Java VMs, Screen Curtain and Focus Highlight functionality, support for more braille displays and a new Braille viewer, and many many other bug fixes.</p>

<h2 id="201911">2019.1.1</h2>
|
||
<p>This point release fixes the following bugs:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>NVDA no longer causes Excel 2007 to crash or refuses to report if a cell has a formula. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/9431" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #9431">#9431</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Google Chrome no longer crashes when interacting with certain listboxes. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/9364" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #9364">#9364</a>)</li>
|

|
||
<li>In Microsoft Excel, NVDA again uses the localized message when reporting the location of merged cells. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/9471" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #9471">#9471</a>)</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h2 id="20191">2019.1</h2>
|
||
<p>Highlights of this release include performance improvements when accessing both Microsoft word and Excel, stability and security improvements such as support for add-ons with version compatibility information, and many other bug fixes.</p>
|
||
<p>Please note that starting from this release of NVDA, custom appModules, globalPlugins, braille display drivers and synth drivers will no longer be automatically loaded from your NVDA user configuration directory.
|
||
Rather these should be installed as part of an NVDA add-on. For those developing code for an add-on, code for testing can be placed in a new developer scratchpad directory in the NVDA user configuration directory, if the Developer scratchpad option is turned on in NVDA's new Advanced settings panel.
|
||
These changes are necessary to better ensure compatibility of custom code, so that NVDA does not break when this code becomes incompatible with newer releases.
|
||
Please refer to the list of changes further down for more details on this and how add-ons are now better versioned.</p>

<h3 id="new-features_13">New Features</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>New braille tables: Afrikaans, Arabic 8 dot computer braille, Arabic grade 2, Spanish grade 2. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/4435" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #4435">#4435</a>, <a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/9186" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #9186">#9186</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Added an option to NVDA's mouse settings to make NVDA handle situations where the mouse is controlled by another application. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/8452" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #8452">#8452</a>)<ul>

|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>Added the <code>--enable-start-on-logon</code> command line parameter to allow configuring whether silent installations of NVDA set NVDA to start at Windows logon or not. Specify true to start at logon or false to not start at logon. If the --enable-start-on-logon argument is not specified at all then NVDA will default to starting at logon, unless it was already configured not to by a previous installation. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/8574" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #8574">#8574</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>It is possible to turn NVDA's logging features off by setting logging level to "disabled" from General settings panel. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/8516" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #8516">#8516</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>The presence of formulae in LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice spreadsheets is now reported. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/860" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #860">#860</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>In Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, browse mode now reports the selected item in list boxes and trees.<ul>
|
||
<li>This works in Firefox 66 and later.</li>
|
||
<li>This does not work for certain list boxes (HTML select controls) in Chrome.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>Early support for apps such as Mozilla Firefox on computers with ARM64 (e.g. Qualcomm Snapdragon) processors. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/9216" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #9216">#9216</a>)</li>

<h3 id="changes_19">Changes</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Updated liblouis braille translator to version 3.8.0. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/9013" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #9013">#9013</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Add-on authors now can enforce a minimum required NVDA version for their add-ons. NVDA will refuse to install or load an add-on whose minimum required NVDA version is higher than the current NVDA version. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/6275" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #6275">#6275</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Add-on authors can now specify the last version of NVDA the add-on has been tested against. If an add-on has been only tested against a version of NVDA lower than the current version, then NVDA will refuse to install or load the add-on. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/6275" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #6275">#6275</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>This version of NVDA will allow installing and loading of add-ons that do not yet contain Minimum and Last Tested NVDA version information, but upgrading to future versions of NVDA (E.g. 2019.2) may automatically cause these older add-ons to be disabled.</li>
|
||
<li>The move mouse to navigator object command is now available in Microsoft Word as well as for UIA controls, particularly Microsoft Edge. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/7916" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #7916">#7916</a>, <a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/8371" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #8371">#8371</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Reporting of text under the mouse has been improved within Microsoft Edge and other UIA applications. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/8370" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #8370">#8370</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>When NVDA is started with the <code>--portable-path</code> command line parameter, the provided path is automatically filled in when trying to create a portable copy of NVDA using the NVDA menu. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/8623" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #8623">#8623</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Updated the path to the Norwegian braille table to reflect the standard from the year 2015. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/9170" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #9170">#9170</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>When navigating by paragraph (control+up or down arrows) or navigating by table cell (control+alt+arrows), the existence of spelling errors will no longer be announced, even if NVDA is configured to announce these automatically. This is because paragraphs and table cells can be quite large, and detecting spelling errors in some applications can be very costly. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/9217" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #9217">#9217</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA no longer automatically loads custom appModules, globalPlugins and braille and synth drivers from the NVDA user configuration directory. This code should be instead packaged as an add-on with correct version information, ensuring that incompatible code is not run with current versions of NVDA. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/9238" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #9238">#9238</a>)<ul>
|
||
<li>For developers who need to test code as it is being developed, enable NVDA's developer scratchpad directory in the Advanced category of NVDA settings, and place your code in the 'scratchpad' directory found in the NVDA user configuration directory when this option is enabled.</li>

||
</ul>
|
||
</li>

|
||
<li>For document implementations such as NVDAObjects or browseMode that have a textInfo, there is now a new documentBase.documentWithTableNavigation class that can be inherited from to gain standard table navigation scripts. Please refer to this class to see which helper methods must be provided by your implementation for table navigation to work.

<h3 id="changes-for-developers_33">Changes for Developers</h3>

|
||
<li>core.callLater now queues the callback to NVDA's main queue after the given delay, rather than waking the core and executing it directly. This stops possible freezes due to the core accidentally going to sleep after processing a callback, in the midle of a modal call such as the desplaying of a message box.

<ul>
|
||
<li>The new audioDucking.AudioDucker class allows code which outputs audio to indicate when background audio should be ducked. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/3830" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #3830">#3830</a>)</li>

|
||
<li>When this is enabled (which is the default), it is essential that WavePlayer.idle be called when appropriate.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>Enhanced I/O for braille displays: (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/5609" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #5609">#5609</a>)<ul>
|
||
<li>Thread-safe braille display drivers can declare themselves as such using the BrailleDisplayDriver.isThreadSafe attribute. A driver must be thread-safe to benefit from the following features.</li>
|
||
<li>Data is written to thread-safe braille display drivers in the background, thus improving performance.</li>
|
||
<li>hwIo.Serial extends pyserial to call a callable when data is received instead of drivers having to poll.</li>
|
||
<li>hwIo.Hid provides support for braille displays communicating via USB HID.</li>
|
||
<li>hwPortUtils and hwIo can optionally provide detailed debug logging, including devices found and all data sent and received.</li>
|
||
</ul>

||
</li>
|
||
<li>There are several new properties accessible from touch screen gestures: (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/5652" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #5652">#5652</a>)<ul>
|
||
<li>MultitouchTracker objects now contain a childTrackers property which contains the MultiTouchTrackers the tracker was composed of. For example, 2 finger double tap has child trackers for two 2-finger taps. The 2-finger taps themselves have child trackers for two taps.</li>
|
||
<li>MultiTouchTracker objects now also contain a rawSingleTouchTracker property if the tracker was the result of one single finger doing a tap, flick or hover. The SingleTouchTracker allows access to the underlying ID assigned to the finger by the operating system and whether or not the finger is still in contact at the current time.</li>
|
||
<li>TouchInputGestures now have x and y properties, removing the need to access the tracker for trivial cases.</li>
|
||
<li>TouchInputGesturs now contain a preheldTracker property, which is a MultitouchTracker object representing the other fingers held while this action was being performed.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>Two new touch screen gestures can be emitted: (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/5652" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #5652">#5652</a>)<ul>
|
||
<li>Plural tap and holds (e.g. double tap and hold)</li>
|
||
<li>A generalized identifier with finger count removed for holds (e.g. hold+hover for 1finger_hold+hover).</li>
|

|
||
<li>NVDA will now use the synthesizer/voice's language for character and symbol processing (including punctuation/symbol names), regardless of whether automatic language switching is turned on. To turn off this feature so that NVDA again uses its interface language, uncheck the new option in Voice settings called Trust Voice's language when processing characters and symbols.

<h3 id="bug-fixes_48">Bug Fixes</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>In Microsoft Excel, merged row and column header cells are now handled correctly. For example, if A1 and B1 are merged, then B2 will now have A1 and B1 reported as its column header rather than nothing at all.

|
||
<li>When editing the content of a text box in Microsoft PowerPoint 2003, NVDA will correctly report the content of each line.

|
||
<li>In the Input Gestures dialog, when selecting a keyboard layout for a keyboard gesture being added, pressing escape now closes the menu as expected instead of closing the dialog. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/3617" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #3617">#3617</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>When removing an add-on, the add-on directory is now correctly deleted after restarting NVDA. Previously, you had to restart twice. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/3461" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #3461">#3461</a>)</li>

|
||
<li>In Skype for Desktop, NVDA should no longer occasionally spuriously read a large flood of messages (perhaps even an entire conversation). (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/4644" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #4644">#4644</a>)</li>
|

<li>fixed a problem where NVDA's Report date/time command did not honor the regional settings specified by the user in some cases. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/2987" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #2987">#2987</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>In browse mode, nonsensical text (sometimes spanning several lines) is no longer presented for certain graphics such as found on Google Groups. (Specifically, this occurred with base64 encoded images.) (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/4793" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #4793">#4793</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA should no longer freeze after a few seconds when moving focus away from a Windows Store app as it becomes suspended. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/4572" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #4572">#4572</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>The aria-atomic attribute on live regions in Mozilla Firefox is now honored even when the atomic element itself changes. Previously, it only affected descendant elements.

|
||
<li>Browse mode will reflect updates, and live regions will be announced, for browse mode documents within ARIA applications embedded in a document in Internet Explorer or other MSHTML controls. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/4798" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #4798">#4798</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>When text is changed or added in live regions in Internet Explorer and other MSHTML controls where the author has specified that text is relevant, only the changed or added text is announced, rather than all of the text in the containing element. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/4800" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #4800">#4800</a>)</li>
|

</li>
|

|
||
<li>Fixed an occasional problem when browsing the web where NVDA would stop working correctly until restarted, even though it didn't crash or freeze. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/3804" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #3804">#3804</a>)</li>

|
||
<li>Fetching the role property in chooseNVDAObjectOverlayClasses no longer causes the role to be incorrect and thus not reported on focus for certain objects such as Windows command consoles and Scintilla controls. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/2569" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #2569">#2569</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>The NVDA Preferences, Tools and Help menus are now accessible as attributes on gui.mainFrame.sysTrayIcon named preferencesMenu, toolsMenu and helpMenu, respectively. This allows plugins to more easily add items to these menus.</li>
|
||
<li>The navigatorObject_doDefaultAction script in globalCommands has been renamed to review_activate.</li>
|
||
<li>Gettext message contexts are now supported. This allows multiple translations to be defined for a single English message depending on the context.

|
||
<li>This is done using the pgettext(context, message) function.</li>
|
||
<li>This is supported for both NVDA itself and add-ons.</li>
|
||
<li>xgettext and msgfmt from GNU gettext must be used to create any PO and MO files. The Python tools do not support message contexts.</li>
|
||
<li>For xgettext, pass the --keyword=pgettext:1c,2 command line argument to enable inclusion of message contexts.</li>
|

|
||
<li>Extending NVDA's functionality has been made easier with the addition of an Add-ons Manager (found under Tools in the NVDA menu) allowing you to install and uninstall new NVDA add-on packages (.nvda-addon files) containing plugins and drivers. Note the Add-on manager does not show older custom plugins and drivers manually copied in to your configuration directory.

|
||
<li>Many more common NVDA features now work in Windows 8 Metro style apps when using an installed release of NVDA, including speaking of typed characters, and browse mode for web documents (includes support for metro version of Internet Explorer 10). Portable copies of NVDA cannot access metro style apps.

||
<li>NVDA is now distributed in one package. Rather than separate portable and installer versions, there is now just one file that, when run, will start a temporary copy of NVDA and will allow you to install or generate a portable distribution.

<h3 id="changes-for-developers_49">Changes for Developers</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|

|
||
<li>When the caret or review cursor moves, braille is now scrolled in the same way as when it is manually scrolled. This makes it more appropriate when braille is configured to read by paragraphs and/or avoid splitting words.

|
||
<li>In Mozilla Gecko (e.g. Firefox), NVDA no longer intermittently switches to browse mode while navigating menus in documents. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/2025" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #2025">#2025</a>)</li>

|
||
<li>In browse mode, the move mouse to current navigator object command now routes to the center of the object at the review cursor instead of the top left, making it more accurate it some cases. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/2029" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #2029">#2029</a>)</li>

<li>The base path of NVDA's code is now stripped from tracebacks in the log to improve readability. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/1880" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #1880">#1880</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>TextInfo objects now have an activate() method to activate the position represented by the TextInfo.<ul>
|
||
<li>This is used by braille to activate the position using cursor routing keys on a braille display. However, there may be other callers in future.</li>
|
||
</ul>

|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>Braille output is now logged at level input/output. First, the untranslated text of all regions is logged, followed by the braille cells of the window being displayed.

<li>To move the caret to the review cursor, now press the move focus to navigator object script (desktop NVDA+shift+numpadMinus, laptop NVDA+shift+backspace) twice in quick succession.

|
||
<li>To hear the decimal and hexadecimal representation of the character under the review cursor, now press review current character three times rather than twice, as twice now speaks the character description.</li>
|
||
<li>Updated eSpeak speech synthesiser to 1.45.03. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/1465" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #1465">#1465</a>)</li>

<li>Trake napretka sada se najavljuju u načinu pretraživanja.</li>
|
||
<li>Nodes marked with an ARIA role of presentation in Internet Explorer and other MSHTML controls are now filtered out of simple review and the focus ancestry.</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA's user interface and documentation now refer to virtual buffers as browse mode, as the term "virtual buffer" is rather meaningless to most users. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/1509" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #1509">#1509</a>)</li>

|
||
<li>The NVDA service no longer starts and stops NVDA on user input desktops.</li>
|
||
<li>On Windows XP and Windows Vista, NVDA no longer makes use of UI Automation even if it is available via the platform update. Although using UI Automation can improve the accessibility of some modern applications, on XP and Vista there were too many freezes, crashes and over all performance loss while using it.

<li>NVDA's user interface and documentation no longer use the terms "first child" and "parent" with respect to object navigation, as these terms are confusing for many users.</li>
|
||
<li>Collapsed is no longer reported for some menu items which have sub-menus.</li>
|
||
<li>The reportCurrentFormatting script (NVDA+f) now reports the formatting at the position of the review cursor rather than the system caret / focus. As by default the review cursor follows the caret, most people should not notice a difference. However this now enables the user to find out the formatting when moving the review cursor, such as in flat review.</li>

|
||
<li>In languages which use a space as a digit group/thousands separator such as French and German, numbers from separate chunks of text are no longer pronounced as a single number. This was particularly problematic for table cells containing numbers.

|
||
<p>This release fixes several security and other important issues found in NVDA 2011.1.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="bug-fixes_62">Bug Fixes</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>The Donate item in the NVDA menu is now disabled when running on the logon, lock, UAC and other secure Windows screens, as this is a security risk. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/1419" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #1419">#1419</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>It is now impossible to copy or paste within NVDA's user interface while on secure desktops (lock screen, UAC screen and windows logon) as this is a security risk. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/1421" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #1421">#1421</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>In Firefox 4, the move to containing virtual buffer command (NVDA+control+space) now works as it should to escape embedded objects such as Flash content. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/1429" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #1429">#1429</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>When speaking of command keys is enabled, shifted characters are no longer incorrectly spoken as command keys. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/1422" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #1422">#1422</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>When speaking of command keys is enabled, pressing space with modifiers other than shift (such as control and alt) is now reported as a command key. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/1424" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #1424">#1424</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Logging is now completely disabled when running on the logon, lock, UAC and other secure Windows screens, as this is a security risk. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/1435" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #1435">#1435</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>In input help mode, Gestures are now logged even if they are not bound to a script (in accordance with the user guide). (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/1425" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #1425">#1425</a>)</li>

<h2 id="20111">2011.1</h2>
|
||
<p>Highlights of this release include automatic reporting of new text output in mIRC, PuTTY, Tera Term and SecureCRT; support for global plugins; announcement of bullets and numbering in Microsoft Word; additional key bindings for braille displays, including keys to move to the next and previous line; support for several Baum, HumanWare and APH braille displays; and reporting of colors for some controls, including IBM Lotus Symphony text controls.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="new-features_42">New Features</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Colors can now be reported for some controls. Automatic announcement can be configured in the Document Formatting preferences dialog. It can also be reported on demand using the report text formatting command (NVDA+f).<ul>
|
||
<li>Initially, this is supported in standard IAccessible2 editable text controls (such as in Mozilla applications), RichEdit controls (such as in Wordpad) and IBM Lotus Symphony text controls.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>In virtual buffers, you can now select by page (using shift+pageDown and shift+pageUp) and paragraph (using shift+control+downArrow and shift+control+upArrow). (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/639" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #639">#639</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA now automatically reports new text output in mIRC, PuTTY, Tera Term and SecureCRT. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/936" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #936">#936</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Users can now add new key bindings or override existing ones for any script in NVDA by providing a single user input gesture map. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/194" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #194">#194</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Support for global plugins. Global plugins can add new functionality to NVDA which works across all applications. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/281" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #281">#281</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>A small beep is now heard when typing characters with the shift key while capslock is on. This can be turned off by unchecking the related new option in the Keyboard settings dialog. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/663" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #663">#663</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>hard page breaks are now announced when moving by line in Microsoft Word. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/758" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #758">#758</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Bullets and numbering are now spoken in Microsoft Word when moving by line. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/208" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #208">#208</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>A command to toggle Sleep mode for the current application (NVDA+shift+s) is now available. Sleep mode (previously known as self voicing mode) disables all screen reading functionality in NVDA for a particular application. Very useful for applications that provide their own speech and or screen reading features. Press this command again to disable Sleep mode.</li>
|
||
<li>Some additional braille display key bindings have been added. See the Supported Braille Displays section of the User Guide for details. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/209" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #209">#209</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>For the convenience of third party developers, app modules as well as global plugins can now be reloaded without restarting NVDA. Use tools -> Reload plugins in the NVDA menu or NVDA+control+f3. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/544" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #544">#544</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA now remembers the position you were at when returning to a previously visited web page. This applies until either the browser or NVDA is exited. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/132" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #132">#132</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Handy Tech braille displays can now be used without installing the Handy Tech universal driver. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/854" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #854">#854</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Support for several Baum, HumanWare and APH braille displays. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/937" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #937">#937</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>The status bar in Media Player Classic Home Cinema is now recognised.</li>
|
||
<li>The Freedom Scientific Focus 40 Blue braille display can now be used when connected via bluetooth. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/1345" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #1345">#1345</a>)</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h3 id="changes_45">Changes</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Position information is no longer reported by default in some cases where it was usually incorrect; e.g. most menus, the Running Applications bar, the Notification Area, etc. However, this can be turned on again by an added option in the Object Presentation settings dialog.</li>
|
||
<li>Keyboard help has been renamed to input help to reflect that it handles input from sources other than the keyboard.</li>
|
||
<li>Input Help no longer reports a script's code location via speech and braille as it is cryptic and irrelevant to the user. However, it is now logged for developers and advanced users.</li>
|
||
<li>When NVDA detects that it has frozen, it continues to intercept NVDA modifier keys, even though it passes all other keys through to the system. This prevents the user from unintentionally toggling caps lock, etc. if they press an NVDA modifier key without realising NVDA has frozen. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/939" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #939">#939</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>If keys are held down after using the pass next key through command, all keys (including key repeats) are now passed through until the last key is released.</li>
|
||
<li>If an NVDA modifier key is pressed twice in quick succession to pass it through and the second press is held down, all key repeats will now be passed through as well.</li>
|
||
<li>The volume up, down and mute keys are now reported in input help. This could be helpful if the user is uncertain as to what these keys are.</li>
|
||
<li>The hotkey for the Review Cursor item in the NVDA Preferences menu has been changed from r to c to eliminate the conflict with the Braille Settings item.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h3 id="bug-fixes_63">Bug Fixes</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>When adding a new speech dictionary entry, the title of the dialog is now "Add dictionary entry" instead of "Edit dictionary entry". (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/924" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #924">#924</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>In speech dictionary dialogs, the content of the Regular expression and Case sensitive columns of the Dictionary entries list is now presented in the configured NVDA language instead of always in English.</li>
|
||
<li>In AIM, position information is now announced in tree views.</li>
|
||
<li>On sliders in the Voice Settings dialog, up arrow/page up/home now increase the setting and down arrow/page down/end decrease it. Previously, the opposite occurred, which is not logical and is inconsistent with the synth settings ring. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/221" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #221">#221</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>In virtual buffers with screen layout disabled, some extraneous blank lines no longer appear.</li>
|
||
<li>If an NVDA modifier key is pressed twice quickly but there is an intervening key press, the NVDA modifier key is no longer passed through on the second press.</li>
|
||
<li>Punctuation keys are now spoken in input help even when speaking of punctuation is disabled. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/977" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #977">#977</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>In the Keyboard Settings dialog, the keyboard layout names are now presented in the configured NVDA language instead of always in English. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/558" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #558">#558</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Fixed an issue where some items were rendered as empty in Adobe Reader documents; e.g. the links in the table of contents of the Apple iPhone IOS 4.1 User Guide.</li>
|
||
<li>The "Use currently saved settings on the logon and other secure screens" button in NVDA's General Settings dialog now works if used immediately after NVDA is newly installed but before a secure screen has appeared. Previously, NVDA reported that copying was successful, but it actually had no effect. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/1194" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #1194">#1194</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>It is no longer possible to have two NVDA settings dialogs open simultaneously. This fixes issues where one open dialog depends on another open dialog; e.g. changing the synthesiser while the Voice Settings dialog is open. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/603" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #603">#603</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>On systems with UAC enabled, the "Use currently saved settings on the logon and other secure screens" button in NVDA's General Settings dialog no longer fails after the UAC prompt if the user's account name contains a space. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/918" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #918">#918</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>In Internet Explorer and other MSHTML controls, NVDA now uses the URL as a last resort to determine the name of a link, rather than presenting empty links. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/633" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #633">#633</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA no longer ignores the focus in AOL Instant Messenger 7 menus. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/655" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #655">#655</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Announce the correct label for errors in the Microsoft Word Spell Check dialog (e.g. Not in dictionary, Grammar error, punctuation). Previously they were all announced as grammar error. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/883" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #883">#883</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Typing in Microsoft Word while using a braille display should no longer cause garbled text to be typed, and a rare freeze when pressing a braille routing key in Word documents has been fixed. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/1212" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #1212">#1212</a>) However a limitation is that Arabic text can no longer be read in Word 2003 and below, while using a braille display. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/627" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #627">#627</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>When pressing the delete key in an edit field, the text/cursor on a braille display should now always be updated appropriately to reflect the change. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/947" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #947">#947</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Changes on dynamic pages in Gecko2 documents (E.g. Firefox 4) while multiple tabs are open are now properly reflected by NVDA. Previously only changes in the first tab were reflected. (Mozilla bug 610985)</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA can now properly announce the suggestions for grammar and punctuation errors in Microsoft Word spell check dialog. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/704" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #704">#704</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>In Internet Explorer and other MSHTML controls, NVDA no longer presents destination anchors as empty links in its virtual buffer. Instead, these anchors are hidden as they should be. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/1326" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #1326">#1326</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Object navigation around and within standard groupbox windows is no longer broken and asymmetrical.</li>
|
||
<li>In Firefox and other Gecko-based controls, NVDA will no longer get stuck in a subframe if it finishes loading before the outer document.</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA now appropriately announces the next character when deleting a character with numpadDelete. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/286" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #286">#286</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>On the Windows XP logon screen, the user name is once again reported when the selected user is changed.</li>
|
||
<li>Fixed problems when reading text in Windows command consoles with reporting of line numbers enabled.</li>
|
||
<li>The Elements List dialog for virtual buffers is now usable by sighted users. All controls are visible on screen. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/1321" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #1321">#1321</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>The list of entries in the Speech Dictionary dialog is now more readable by sighted users. The list is now large enough to show all of its columns on screen. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/90" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #90">#90</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>On ALVA BC640/BC680 braille displays, NVDA no longer disregards display keys that are still held down after another key is released.</li>
|
||
<li>Adobe Reader X no longer crashes after leaving the untagged document options before the processing dialog appears. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/1218" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #1218">#1218</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA now switches to the appropriate braille display driver when you revert to saved configuration. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/1346" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #1346">#1346</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>The Visual Studio 2008 Project Wizard is read correctly again. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/974" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #974">#974</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA no longer completely fails to work in applications which contain non-ASCII characters in their executable name. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/1352" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #1352">#1352</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>When reading by line in AkelPad with word wrap enabled, NVDA no longer reads the first character of the following line at the end of the current line.</li>
|
||
<li>In the Visual Studio 2005/2008 code editor, NVDA no longer reads the entire text after every typed character. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/975" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #975">#975</a>)</li>
|

|
||
<li>The initial focus is no longer sometimes spoken twice when NVDA starts. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/1359" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #1359">#1359</a>)</li>

<h3 id="changes-for-developers_53">Changes for Developers</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>SCons is now used to prepare the source tree and create binary builds, portable archives, installers, etc. See readme.txt at the root of the source distribution for details.</li>
|
||
<li>The key names used by NVDA (including key maps) have been made more friendly/logical; e.g. upArrow instead of extendedUp and numpadPageUp instead of prior. See the vkCodes module for a list.</li>
|
||
<li>All input from the user is now represented by an inputCore.InputGesture instance. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/601" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #601">#601</a>)<ul>
|
||
<li>Each source of input subclasses the base InputGesture class.</li>
|
||
<li>Key presses on the system keyboard are encompassed by the keyboardHandler.KeyboardInputGesture class.</li>
|
||
<li>Presses of buttons, wheels and other controls on a braille display are encompassed by subclasses of the braille.BrailleDisplayGesture class. These subclasses are provided by each braille display driver.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>Input gestures are bound to ScriptableObjects using the ScriptableObject.bindGesture() method on an instance or an __gestures dict on the class which maps gesture identifiers to script names. See baseObject.ScriptableObject for details.</li>
|
||
<li>App modules no longer have key map files. All input gesture bindings must be done in the app module itself.</li>
|
||
<li>All scripts now take an InputGesture instance instead of a key press.<ul>
|
||
<li>KeyboardInputGestures can be sent on to the OS using the send() method of the gesture.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>To send an arbitrary key press, you must now create a KeyboardInputGesture using KeyboardInputGesture.fromName() and then use its send() method.</li>
|
||
<li>Locales may now provide an input gesture map file to add new bindings or override existing bindings for scripts anywhere in NVDA. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/810" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #810">#810</a>)<ul>
|
||
<li>Locale gesture maps should be placed in locale\LANG\gestures.ini, where LANG is the language code.</li>
|
||
<li>See inputCore.GlobalGestureMap for details of the file format.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>The new LiveText and Terminal NVDAObject behaviors facilitate automatic reporting of new text. See those classes in NVDAObjects.behaviors for details. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/936" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #936">#936</a>)<ul>
|
||
<li>The NVDAObjects.window.DisplayModelLiveText overlay class can be used for objects which must retrieve text written to the display.</li>
|
||
<li>See the mirc and putty app modules for usage examples.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>There is no longer an _default app module. App modules should instead subclass appModuleHandler.AppModule (the base AppModule class).</li>
|
||
<li>Support for global plugins which can globally bind scripts, handle NVDAObject events and choose NVDAObject overlay classes. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/281" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #281">#281</a>) See globalPluginHandler.GlobalPlugin for details.</li>
|
||
<li>On SynthDriver objects, the available* attributes for string settings (e.g. availableVoices and availableVariants) are now OrderedDicts keyed by ID instead of lists.</li>
|
||
<li>synthDriverHandler.VoiceInfo now takes an optional language argument which specifies the language of the voice.</li>
|
||
<li>SynthDriver objects now provide a language attribute which specifies the language of the current voice.<ul>
|
||
<li>The base implementation uses the language specified on the VoiceInfo objects in availableVoices. This is suitable for most synthesisers which support one language per voice.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>Braille display drivers have been enhanced to allow buttons, wheels and other controls to be bound to NVDA scripts:<ul>
|
||
<li>Drivers can provide a global input gesture map to add bindings for scripts anywhere in NVDA.</li>
|
||
<li>They can also provide their own scripts to perform display specific functions.</li>
|
||
<li>See braille.BrailleDisplayDriver for details and existing braille display drivers for examples.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>The 'selfVoicing' property on AppModule classes has now been renamed to 'sleepMode'.</li>
|
||
<li>The app module events event_appLoseFocus and event_appGainFocus have now been renamed to event_appModule_loseFocus and event_appModule_gainFocus, respectivly, in order to make the naming convention consistent with app modules and tree interceptors.</li>
|
||
<li>All braille display drivers should now use braille.BrailleDisplayDriver instead of braille.BrailleDisplayDriverWithCursor.<ul>
|
||
<li>The cursor is now managed outside of the driver.</li>

<h3 id="new-features_43">New Features</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Navigating through objects with the review cursor has been greatly simplified. The review cursor now excludes objects which aren't useful to the user; i.e. objects only used for layout purposes and unavailable objects.</li>
|

|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>Support for the code editor in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 and 2008. At least Visual Studio Standard is required; this does not work in the Express editions. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/457" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #457">#457</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Support for IBM Lotus Symphony documents.</li>
|
||
<li>Early experimental support for Google Chrome. Please note that Chrome's screen reader support is far from complete and additional work may also be required in NVDA. You will need a recent development build of Chrome to try this.</li>
|
||
<li>The state of toggle keys (caps lock, num lock and scroll lock) is now displayed in braille when they are pressed. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/620" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #620">#620</a>)</li>
|

|
||
<li>Table row and column headers can now be reported. This is configurable from the Document Formatting preferences dialog.<ul>
|
||
<li>Currently, this is supported in documents in Mozilla applications such as Firefox (version 3.6.11 and later) and Thunderbird (version 3.1.5 and later). (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/361" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #361">#361</a>)</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>Introduced commands for flat review: (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/58" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #58">#58</a>)<ul>
|
||
<li>NVDA+numpad7 switches to flat review, placing the review cursor at the position of the current object, allowing you to review the screen (or a document if within one) with the text review commands.</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA+numpad1 moves the review cursor into the object represented by the text at the position of the review cursor, allowing you to navigate by object from that point.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>Current NVDA user settings can be copied to be used on secure Windows screens such as the logon and UAC screens by pressing a button in the General Settings dialog. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/730" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #730">#730</a>)</li>

<li>Support for Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h3 id="changes_46">Changes</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>The sayAll by Navigator object (NVDA+numpadAdd), navigator object next in flow (NVDA+shift+numpad6) and navigator object previous in flow (NVDA+shift+numpad4) commands have been removed for the time being, due to bugginess and to free up the keys for other possible features.</li>
|
||
<li>In the NVDA Synthesizer dialog, only the display name of the synthesizer is now listed. Previously, it was prefixed by the driver's name, which is only relevant internally.</li>
|
||
<li>When in embedded applications or virtual buffers inside another virtualBuffer (e.g. Flash), you can now press nvda+control+space to move out of the embedded application or virtual buffer to the containing document. Previously nvda+space was used for this. Now nvda+space is specifically only for toggling brows/focus modes on virtualBuffers.</li>
|
||
<li>If the speech viewer (enabled under the tools menu) is given the focus (e.g. it was clicked in) new text will not appear in the control until focus is moved away. This allows for selecting the text with greater ease (e.g. for copying).</li>
|
||
<li>The Log Viewer and Python Console are maximised when activated.</li>
|
||
<li>When focusing on a worksheet in Microsoft Excel and there is more than one cell selected, the selection range is announced, rather than just the active cell. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/763" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #763">#763</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Saving configuration and changing of particular sensitive options is now disabled when running on the logon, UAC and other secure Windows screens.</li>
|
||
<li>Updated eSpeak speech synthesiser to 1.44.03.</li>
|
||
<li>If NVDA is already running, activating the NVDA shortcut on the desktop (which includes pressing control+alt+n) will restart NVDA.</li>
|
||
<li>Removed the report text under the mouse checkbox from the Mouse settings dialog and replaced it with an Enable mouse tracking checkbox, which better matches the toggle mouse tracking script (NVDA+m).</li>
|
||
<li>Updates to the laptop keyboard layout so that it includes all commands available in the desktop layout and works correctly on non-English keyboards. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/798" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #798">#798</a>, <a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/800" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #800">#800</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Significant improvements and updates to the user documentation, including documentation of the laptop keyboard commands and synchronisation of the Keyboard Commands Quick Reference with the User Guide. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/455" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #455">#455</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Updated liblouis braille translator to 2.1.1. Notably, this fixes some issues related to Chinese braille as well as characters which are undefined in the translation table. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/484" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #484">#484</a>, <a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/499" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #499">#499</a>)</li>

|
||
<h3 id="new-features_44">New Features</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>NVDA no longer fails to start on a system with no audio output devices. Obviously, a braille display or the Silence synthesiser in conjunction with the Speech Viewer will need to be used for output in this case. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/425" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #425">#425</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>A report landmarks checkbox has been added to the Document Formatting settings dialog which allows you to configure whether NVDA should announce landmarks in web documents. For compatibility with the previous release, the option is on by default.</li>
|
||
<li>If speak command keys is enabled, NVDA will now announce the names of multimedia keys (e.g. play, stop, home page, etc.) on many keyboards when they are pressed. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/472" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #472">#472</a>)</li>

|
||
<li>It is now possible to disable the creation of the desktop shortcut (and thus the shortcut key) when installing NVDA. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/518" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #518">#518</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA can now use IAccessible2 when present in 64 bit applications. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/479" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #479">#479</a>)</li>
|

<li>Improved support for live regions in Mozilla applications. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/246" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #246">#246</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>The NVDA Controller Client API is now provided to allow applications to control NVDA; e.g. to speak text, silence speech, display a message in Braille, etc.</li>
|
||
<li>Information and error messages are now read in the logon screen in Windows Vista and Windows 7. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/506" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #506">#506</a>)</li>

|
||
<li>In Miranda IM, NVDA now automatically reads incoming messages in chat windows if reporting of dynamic content changes is enabled. Also, commands have been added to report the three most recent messages (NVDA+control+number). (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/546" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #546">#546</a>)</li>

</ul>
|
||
<h3 id="changes_47">Changes</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>The extremely verbose keyboard help message in the Windows 7 Start menu is no longer reported.</li>
|
||
<li>The Display synth has now been replaced with a new Speech Viewer. To activate it, choose Speech Viewer from the Tools menu. The speech viewer can be used independently of what ever speech synthesizer you are using. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/44" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #44">#44</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Messages on the braille display will automatically be dismissed if the user presses a key that results in a change such as the focus moving. Previously the message would always stay around for its configured time.</li>
|
||
<li>Setting whether braille should be tethered to the focus or the review cursor (NVDA+control+t) can now be also set from the braille settings dialog, and is also now saved in the user's configuration.</li>
|
||
<li>Updated eSpeak speech synthesiser to 1.43.</li>
|
||
<li>Updated liblouis braille translator to 1.8.0.</li>
|
||
<li>In virtual buffers, the reporting of elements when moving by character or word has been greatly improved. Previously, a lot of irrelevant information was reported and the reporting was very different to that when moving by line. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/490" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #490">#490</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>The Control key now simply stops speech like other keys, rather than pausing speech. To pause/resume speech, use the shift key.</li>
|
||
<li>Table row and column counts are no longer announced when reporting focus changes, as this announcement is rather verbose and usually not useful.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h3 id="bug-fixes_65">Bug Fixes</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>NVDA no longer fails to start if UI Automation support appears to be available but fails to initialise for some reason. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/483" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #483">#483</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>The entire contents of a table row is no longer sometimes reported when moving focus inside a cell in Mozilla applications. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/482" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #482">#482</a>)</li>

|
||
<li>Virtual buffers now honour the report object shortcut keys setting found in the Object Presentation dialog. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/486" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #486">#486</a>)</li>

|
||
<li>In virtual buffers, row/column coordinates are now correctly read when you leave a table and then re-enter the same table cell without visiting another cell first; e.g. pressing upArrow then downArrow on the first cell of a table. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/378" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #378">#378</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Blank lines in Microsoft Word documents and Microsoft HTML edit controls are now shown appropriately on braille displays. Previously NVDA was displaying the current sentence on the display, not the current line for these situations. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/420" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #420">#420</a>)</li>

|
||
<li>The cursor position (caret) is now correctly updated when performing a Say All that goes off the bottom of the screen, in standard Windows edit fields and Microsoft Word documents. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/418" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #418">#418</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>In virtual buffers, text is no longer incorrectly included for images inside links and clickables that are marked as being irrelevant to screen readers. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/423" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #423">#423</a>)</li>

|
||
<li>While working with TeamTalk3 or TeamTalk4 Classic, the VU meter progress bar in the main window is no longer announced as it updates. Also, special characters can be read properly in the incoming chat window.</li>
|
||
<li>Items are no longer spoken twice in the Windows 7 Start Menu. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/474" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #474">#474</a>)</li>

<li>In Windows XP, NVDA no longer causes Internet Explorer to freeze when toggling checkboxes in Windows Update. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/477" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #477">#477</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>When using the in-built eSpeak synthesiser, simultaneous speech and beeps no longer intermittently cause freezes on some systems. This was most noticeable, for example, when copying large amounts of data in Windows Explorer.</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA no longer announces that a Firefox document has become busy (e.g. due to an update or refresh) when that document is in the background. This also caused the status bar of the foreground application to be spuriously announced.</li>
|
||
<li>When switching Windows keyboard layouts (with control+shift or alt+shift), the full name of the layout is reported in both speech and braille. Previously it was only reported in speech, and alternative layouts (e.g. Dvorak) were not reported at all.</li>
|
||
<li>If reporting of tables is disabled, table information is no longer announced when the focus changes.</li>
|
||
<li>Certain standard tree view controls in 64 bit applications (e.g. the Contents tree view in Microsoft HTML Help) are now accessible. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/473" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #473">#473</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Fixed some problems with logging of messages containing non-ASCII characters. This could cause spurious errors in some cases on non-English systems. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/581" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #581">#581</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>The information in the About NVDA dialog now appears in the user's configured language instead of always appearing in English. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/586" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #586">#586</a>)</li>

<h2 id="20091">2009.1</h2>
|
||
<p>Major highlights of this release include support for 64 bit editions of Windows; greatly improved support for Microsoft Internet Explorer and Adobe Reader documents; support for Windows 7; reading of the Windows logon, control+alt+delete and User Account Control (UAC) screens; and the ability to interact with Adobe Flash and Sun Java content on web pages. There have also been several significant stability fixes and improvements to the general user experience.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="new-features_45">New Features</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Official support for 64 bit editions of Windows! (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/309" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #309">#309</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Added a synthesizer driver for the Newfon synthesizer. Note that this requires a special version of Newfon. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/206" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #206">#206</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>In virtual buffers, focus mode and browse mode can now be reported using sounds instead of speech. This is enabled by default. It can be configured from the Virtual buffers dialog. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/244" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #244">#244</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA no longer cancels speech when volume control keys are pressed on the keyboard, allowing the user to change the volume and listen to actual results immediately. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/287" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #287">#287</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Completely rewritten support for Microsoft Internet Explorer and Adobe Reader documents. This support has been unified with the core support used for Mozilla Gecko, so features such as fast page rendering, extensive quick navigation, links list, text selection, auto focus mode and braille support are now available with these documents.</li>
|
||
<li>Improved support for the date selection control found in the Windows Vista Date / Time properties dialog.</li>
|
||
<li>improved support for the Modern XP/Vista start menu (specifically the all programs, and places menus). Appropriate level information is now announced.</li>
|
||
<li>The amount of text that is announced when moving the mouse is now configurable from the Mouse settings dialog. A choice of paragraph, line, word or character can be made.</li>
|
||
<li>announce spelling errors under the cursor in Microsoft Word.</li>
|
||
<li>support for the Microsoft Word 2007 spell checker. Partial support may be available for prior Microsoft Word versions.</li>
|
||
<li>Better support for Windows Live Mail. Plain text messages can now be read and both the plain text and HTML message composers are useable.</li>
|
||
<li>In Windows Vista, if the user moves to the secure desktop (either because a UAC control dialog appeared, or because control+alt+delete was pressed), NVDA will announce the fact that the user is now on the secure desktop.</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA can announce text under the mouse within dos console windows.</li>
|
||
<li>Support for UI Automation via the UI Automation client API available in Windows 7, as well as fixes to improve the experience of NVDA in Windows 7.</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA can be configured to start automatically after you log on to Windows. The option is in the General Settings dialog.</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA can read secure Windows screens such as the Windows logon, control+alt+delete and User Account Control (UAC) screens in Windows XP and above. Reading of the Windows logon screen can be configured from the General Settings dialog. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/97" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #97">#97</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Added a driver for the Optelec ALVA BC6 series braille displays.</li>
|
||
<li>When browsing web documents, you can now press n and shift+n to skip forward and backward past blocks of links, respectively.</li>
|
||
<li>When browsing web documents, ARIA landmarks are now reported, and you can move forward and backward through them using d and shift+d, respectively. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/192" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #192">#192</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>The Links List dialog available when browsing web documents has now become an Elements List dialog which can list links, headings and landmarks. Headings and landmarks are presented hierarchically. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/363" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #363">#363</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>The new Elements List dialog contains a "Filter by" field which allows you to filter the list to contain only those items including the text that was typed. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/173" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #173">#173</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Portable versions of NVDA now look in the 'userConfig' directory inside the NVDA directory, for the user's configuration. Like for the installer version, this keeps the user's configuration separate from NVDA itself.</li>
|
||
<li>Custom app modules, braille display drivers and synth drivers can now be stored in the user's configuration directory. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/337" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #337">#337</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Virtual buffers are now rendered in the background, allowing the user to interact with the system to some extent during the rendering process. The user will be notified that the document is being rendered if it takes longer than a second.</li>
|
||
<li>If NVDA detects that it has frozen for some reason, it will automatically pass all keystrokes through so that the user has a better chance of recovering the system.</li>
|
||
<li>Support for ARIA drag and drop in Mozilla Gecko. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/239" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #239">#239</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>The document title and current line or selection is now spoken when you move focus inside a virtual buffer. This makes the behaviour when moving focus into virtual buffers consistent with that for normal document objects. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/210" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #210">#210</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>In virtual buffers, you can now interact with embedded objects (such as Adobe Flash and Sun Java content) by pressing enter on the object. If it is accessible, you can then tab around it like any other application. To return focus to the document, press NVDA+space. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/431" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #431">#431</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>In virtual buffers, o and shift+o move to the next and previous embedded object, respectively.</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA can now fully access applications running as administrator in Windows Vista and later. You must install an official release of NVDA for this to work. This does not work for portable versions and snapshots. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/397" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #397">#397</a>)</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h3 id="changes_48">Changes</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>NVDA no longer announces "NVDA started" when it starts.</li>
|
||
<li>The startup and exit sounds are now played using NVDA's configured audio output device instead of the Windows default audio output device. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/164" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #164">#164</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Progress bar reporting has been improved. Most notably you can now configure NVDA to announce via both speech and beeps at the same time.</li>
|
||
<li>Some generic roles, such as pane, application and frame, are no longer reported on focus unless the control is unnamed.</li>
|
||
<li>The review copy command (NVDA+f10) copies the text from the start marker up to and including the current review position, rather than excluding the current position. This allows the last character of a line to be copied, which was not previously possible. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/430" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #430">#430</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>the navigatorObject_where script (ctrl+NVDA+numpad5) has been removed. This key combination did not work on some keyboards, nore was the script found to be that useful.</li>
|
||
<li>the navigatorObject_currentDimentions script has been remapped to NVDA+numpadDelete. The old key combination did not work on some keyboards. This script also now reports the width and height of the object instead of the right/bottom coordinates.</li>
|
||
<li>Improved performance (especially on netbooks) when many beeps occur in quick succession; e.g. fast mouse movement with audio coordinates enabled. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/396" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #396">#396</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>The NVDA error sound is no longer played in release candidates and final releases. Note that errors are still logged.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h3 id="bug-fixes_66">Bug Fixes</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>When NVDA is run from an 8.3 dos path, but it is installed in the related long path (e.g. progra~1 verses program files) NVDA will correctly identify that it is an installed copy and properly load the user's settings.</li>
|
||
<li>speaking the title of the current foreground window with nvda+t now works correctly when in menus.</li>
|
||
<li>braille no longer shows useless information in its focus context such as unlabeled panes.</li>
|
||
<li>stop announcing some useless information when the focus changes such as root panes, layered panes and scroll panes in Java or Lotus applications.</li>
|
||
<li>Make the keyword search field in Windows Help (CHM) viewer much more usable. Due to buggyness in that control, the current keyword could not be read as it would be continually changing.</li>
|
||
<li>report correct page numbers in Microsoft Word if the page numbering has been specifically offset in the document.</li>
|
||
<li>Better support for edit fields found in Microsoft Word dialogs (e.g. the Font dialog). It is now possible to navigate these controls with the arrow keys.</li>
|
||
<li>better support for Dos consoles. specifically: NVDA can now read the content of particular consoles it always used to think were blank. Pressing control+break no longer terminates NVDA.</li>
|
||
<li>On Windows Vista and above, the NVDA installer now starts NVDA with normal user privileges when requested to run NVDA on the finish screen.</li>
|
||
<li>Backspace is now handled correctly when speaking typed words. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/306" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #306">#306</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Don't incorrectly report "Start menu" for certain context menus in Windows Explorer/the Windows shell. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/257" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #257">#257</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA now correctly handles ARIA labels in Mozilla Gecko when there is no other useful content. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/156" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #156">#156</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA no longer incorrectly enables focus mode automatically for editable text fields which update their value when the focus changes; e.g. http://tigerdirect.com/. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/220" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #220">#220</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA will now attempt to recover from some situations which would previously cause it to freeze completely. It may take up to 10 seconds for NVDA to detect and recover from such a freeze.</li>
|
||
<li>When the NVDA language is set to "User default", use the user's Windows display language setting instead of the Windows locale setting. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/353" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #353">#353</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA now recognises the existence of controls in AIM 7.</li>
|
||
<li>The pass key through command no longer gets stuck if a key is held down. Previously, NVDA stopped accepting commands if this occurred and had to be restarted. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/413" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #413">#413</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>The taskbar is no longer ignored when it receives focus, which often occurs when exiting an application. Previously, NVDA behaved as if the focus had not changed at all.</li>
|
||
<li>When reading text fields in applications which use the Java Access Bridge (including OpenOffice.org), NVDA now functions correctly when reporting of line numbers is enabled.</li>
|
||
<li>The review copy command (NVDA+f10) gracefully handles the case where it is used on a position before the start marker. Previously, this could cause problems such as crashes in Notepad++.</li>
|
||
<li>A certain control character (0x1) no longer causes strange eSpeak behaviour (such as changes in volume and pitch) when it is encountered in text. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/437" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #437">#437</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>The report text selection command (NVDA+shift+upArrow) now gracefully reports that there is no selection in objects which do not support text selection.</li>
|
||
<li>Fixed the issue where pressing the enter key on certain Miranda-IM buttons or links was causing NVDA to freeze. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/440" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #440">#440</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>The current line or selection is now properly respected when spelling or copying the current navigator object.</li>
|
||
<li>Worked around a Windows bug which was causing garbage to be spoken after the name of link controls in Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer dialogs. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/451" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #451">#451</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Fixed a problem with the report date and time command (NVDA+f12). Previously, date reporting was truncated on some systems. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/471" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #471">#471</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Fixed the issue where the system screen reader flag was sometimes inappropriately cleared after interacting with secure Windows screens. This could cause problems in applications which check the screen reader flag, including Skype, Adobe Reader and Jart. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/462" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #462">#462</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>In an Internet Explorer 6 combo box, the active item is now reported when it is changed. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/342" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #342">#342</a>)</li>

</ul>
|
||
<h2 id="06p3">0.6p3</h2>
|
||
<h3 id="new-features_46">New Features</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>As Microsoft Excel's formula bar is inaccessible to NVDA, provide an NVDA specific dialog box for editing when the user presses f2 on a cell.</li>
|
||
<li>Support for formatting in IAccessible2 text controls, including Mozilla applications.</li>
|
||
<li>Spelling errors can now be reported where possible. This is configurable from the Document Formatting preferences dialog.</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA can be configured to beep for either all or only visible progress bars. Alternatively, it can be configured to speak progress bar values every 10%.</li>
|
||
<li>Links can now be identified in richedit controls.</li>
|
||
<li>The mouse can now be moved to the character under the review cursor in most editable text controls. Previously, the mouse could only be moved to the center of the control.</li>
|
||
<li>In virtual buffers, the review cursor now reviews the text of the buffer, rather than just the internal text of the navigator object (which is often not useful to the user). This means that you can navigate the virtual buffer hierarchically using object navigation and the review cursor will move to that point in the buffer.</li>
|
||
<li>Handle some additional states on Java controls.</li>
|
||
<li>If the title command (NVDA+t) is pressed twice, it spells the title. If pressed thrice, it is copied to the clipboard.</li>
|
||
<li>Keyboard help now reads the names of modifier keys when pressed alone.</li>
|
||
<li>Key names announced by keyboard help are now translatable.</li>
|
||
<li>Added support for the recognized text field in SiRecognizer. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/198" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #198">#198</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Support for braille displays!</li>
|
||
<li>Added a command (NVDA+c) to report the text on the Windows clipboard. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/193" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #193">#193</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>In virtualBuffers, if NVDA automatically switches to focus mode, you can use the escape key to switch back to browse mode. NVDA+space can still also be used.</li>
|
||
<li>In virtual buffers, when the focus changes or the caret is moved, NVDA can automatically switch to focus mode or browse mode as appropriate for the control under the caret. This is configured from the Virtual Buffers dialog. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/157" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #157">#157</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Rewritten SAPI4 synthesizer driver which replaces the sapi4serotek and sapi4activeVoice drivers and should fix the problems encountered with these drivers.</li>
|
||
<li>The NVDA application now includes a manifest, which means that it no longer runs in compatibility mode in Windows Vista.</li>
|
||
<li>The configuration file and speech dictionaries are now saved in the user's application data directory if NVDA was installed using the installer. This is necessary for Windows Vista and also allows multiple users to have individual NVDA configurations.</li>
|
||
<li>Added support for position information for IAccessible2 controls.</li>
|
||
<li>Added the ability to copy text to the clipboard using the review cursor. NVDA+f9 sets the start marker to the current position of the review cursor. NVDA+f10 retrieves the text between the start marker and the current position of the review cursor and copies it to the clipboard. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/240" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #240">#240</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>Added support for some edit controls in pinacle tv software.</li>
|
||
<li>When announcing selected text for long selections (512 characters or more), NVDA now speaks the number of selected characters, rather than speaking the entire selection. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/249" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #249">#249</a>)</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h3 id="changes_49">Changes</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>If the audio output device is set to use the Windows default device (Microsoft Sound Mapper), NVDA will now switch to the new default device for eSpeak and tones when the default device changes. For example, NVDA will switch to a USB audio device if it automatically becomes the default device when it is connected.</li>
|
||
<li>Improve performance of eSpeak with some Windows Vista audio drivers.</li>

||
<li>reporting of links, headings, tables, lists and block quotes can now be configured from the Document Formatting settings dialog. Previously to configure these settings for virtual buffers, the virtual buffer settings dialog would have been used. Now all documents share this configuration.</li>
|
||
<li>Rate is now the default setting in the speech synthesizer settings ring.</li>
|
||
<li>Improve the loading and unloading of appModules.</li>
|
||
<li>The title command (NVDA+t) now only reports the title instead of the entire object. If the foreground object has no name, the application's process name is used.</li>
|
||
<li>Instead of virtual buffer pass through on and off, NVDA now reports focus mode (pass through on) and browse mode (pass through off).</li>
|
||
<li>Voices are now stored in the configuration file by ID instead of by index. This makes voice settings more reliable across systems and configuration changes. The voice setting will not be preserved in old configurations and an error may be logged the first time a synthesizer is used. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/19" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #19">#19</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>The level of a tree view item is now announced first if it has changed from the previously focused item for all tree views. Previously, this was only occurring for native Windows (SysTreeView32) tree views.</li>

<li>Improved the speaking of typed characters and words.</li>
|
||
<li>Some new text that was previously not spoken in text console applications (such as some text adventure games) is now spoken.</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA now ignores focus changes in background windows. Previously, a background focus change could be treated as if the real focus changed.</li>

|
||
<li>NVDA no longer announces the unselection of text when leaving some edit controls (example: Internet Explorer address bar, Thunderbird 3 email address fields).</li>
|
||
<li>When opening plain text emails in Outlook Express and Windows Mail, focus is correctly placed in the message ready for the user to read it. Previously the user had to press tab or click on the message in order to use cursor keys to read it.</li>
|
||
<li>Fixed several major issues with the "Speak command keys" functionality.</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA can now read text past 65535 characters in standard edit controls (e.g. a large file in Notepad).</li>

(<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/91" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #91">#91</a>)</li>
|
||
<li>When moving around Mozilla Gecko virtualBuffers, scroll the current field in to view -- useful so sighted peers have an idea of where the user is up to in the document. (<a class="gh-link gh-issue" href="https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/57" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="GitHub Issue nvaccess/nvda #57">#57</a>)</li>

|
||
<li>Added a links list (NVDA+f7)</li>

<li>Improved the find dialog (control+nvda+f) so that it performs a case-insencitive search, plus fixed a few focus issues with that dialog box.</li>
|
||
<li>It is now possible to select and copy text in the new virtualBuffers</li>
|
||
<li>By default the new virtualBuffers represent the document in a screen layout (links and controls are not on separate lines unless they really are visually). You can toggle this feature with NVDA+v.</li>
|
||
<li>It is possible to move by paragraph with control+upArrow and control+downArrow.</li>
|

<li>NVDA now announces when the keyboard layout is changed (when pressing alt+shift).</li>
|
||
<li>The announce date and time feature now takes the system's current regional and language options in to account.</li>

<h3 id="speech">Speech</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>NVDA now comes packaged with eSpeak 1.33 which contains many improvements, among those are improved languages, named variants, ability to speak faster.</li>
|
||
<li>The voice settings dialog now allows you to change the variant of a synthesizer if it supports one. Variant is usually a slight variation on the current voice. (eSpeak supports variants).</li>
|
||
<li>Added the ability to change the inflection of a voice in the voice settings dialog if the current synthesizer supports this. (eSpeak supports inflection).</li>
|
||
<li>Added the ability to turn off speaking of object position information(e.g. 1 of 4). This option can be found in the Object presentation settings dialog.</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA can now beep when speaking a capital letter. This can be turned on and off with a check box in the voice settings dialog. Also added a raise pitch for capitals check box to configure whether NVDA should actually do its normal pitch raise for capitals. So now you can have either raise pitch, say cap, or beep, for capitals.</li>
|
||
<li>Added the ability to pause speech in NVDA (like found in Voice Over for the Mac). When NVDA is speaking something, you can press the control or shift keys to silence speech just like normal, but if you then tap the shift key again (as long as you havn't pressed any other keys) speech will continue from exactly where it left off.</li>
|
||
<li>Added a virtual synthDriver which outputs text to a window instead of speaking via a speech synthesiser. This should be more pleasant for sighted developers who are not used to speech synthesis but want to know what is spoken by NVDA. There are probably still some bugs, so feedback is most definitely welcome.</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA no longer by default speaks punctuation, you can enable speaking of punctuation with NVDA+p.</li>
|
||
<li>eSpeak by default now speaks quite a bit slower, which should make it easier for people who are using eSpeak for the first time, when installing or starting to use NVDA.</li>
|
||
<li>Added user dictionaries to NVDA. These allow you to make NVDA speak certain text differently. There are three dictionaries: default, voice, and temporary. Entries you add to the default dictionary will happen all the time in NVDA. Voice dictionaries are specific to the current synthesizer and voice you currently have set. And temporary dictionary is for those times you quickly want to set a rule while you are doing a particular task, but you don't want it to be perminant (it will disappear if you close NVDA). For now the rules are regular expressions, not just normal text.</li>
|
||
<li>Synthesizers can now use any audio output device on your system, by setting the output device combo box in the Synthesizer dialog before selecting the synthesizer you want.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h3 id="performance">Performance</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>NVDA no longer takes up a huge amount of system memory , when editing messages in mshtml edit controls</li>
|
||
<li>Improved performance when reviewing text inside many controls that do not actually have a real cursor. e.g. MSN Messenger history window, treeview items, listview items etc.</li>
|
||
<li>Improved performance in rich edit documents.</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA should no longer slowly creep up in system memory size for no reason</li>
|
||
<li>Fixed bugs when trying to focus on a dos console window more than three or so times. NVDA did have a tendency to completely crash.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h3 id="kljucne-komande">Ključne komande</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>NVDA+shift+numpad6 and NVDA+shift+numpad4 allow you to navigate to the next or previous object in flow respectively. This means that you can navigate in an application by only using these two keys with out having to worry about going up by parent, or down to first child as you move around the object hyerarchy. For instance in a web browser such as firefox, you could navigate the document by object, by just using these two keys. If next in flow or previous in flow takes you up and out of an object, or down in to an object, ordered beeps indicate the direction.</li>
|
||
<li>You can now configure voice settings with out opening the voice settings dialog, by using the Synth Settings Ring. The synth settings ring is a group of voice settings you can toggle through by pressing control+NVDA+right and control+NVDA+left. To change a setting use control+NVDA+up and control+NVDA+down.</li>
|
||
<li>Added a command to report the current selection in edit fields (NVDA+shift+upArrow).</li>
|
||
<li>Quite a few NVDA commands that speak text (such as report current line etc) now can spell the text if pressed twice quickly.</li>
|
||
<li>the capslock, numpad insert and extended insert can all be used as the NVDA modifier key. Also if one of these keys is used, pressing the key twice with out pressing any other keys will send the key through to the operating system, just like you'd pressed the key with out NVDA running. To make one of these keys be the NVDA modifier key, check its checkbox in the Keyboard settings dialog (used to be called the keyboard echo dialog).</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h3 id="application-support">Application support</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Improved support for Firefox3 and Thunderbird3 documents. Load times have been improved by almost a factor of thirty, a screen layout is used by default (press nvda+v to toggle between this and no screen layout), a links list (nvda+f7 has been added), the find dialog (control+nvda+f) is now case-insensitive, much better support for dynamic content, selecting and copying text is now possible.</li>
|
||
<li>In the MSN Messenger and Windows Live Messenger history windows, it is now possible to select and copy text.</li>
|
||
<li>Improved support for the audacity application</li>
|
||
<li>Added support for a few edit/text controls in Skype</li>
|
||
<li>Improved support for Miranda instant messenger application</li>
|
||
<li>Fixed some focus issues when opening html and plain text messages in Outlook Express.</li>
|
||
<li>Outlook express newsgroup message fields are now labeled correctly</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA can now read the addresses in the Outlook Express message fields (to/from/cc etc)</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA should be now more accurate at announcing the next message in out look express when deleting a message from the message list.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h3 id="apis-and-toolkits">APIs and toolkits</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Improved object navigation for MSAA objects. If a window has a system menu, title bar, or scroll bars, you can now navigate to them.</li>
|
||
<li>Added support for the IAccessible2 accessibility API. A part from the ability to announce more control types, this also allows NVDA to access the cursor in applications such as Firefox 3 and Thunderbird 3, allowing you to navigate, select or edit text.</li>
|
||
<li>Added support for Scintilla edit controls (such controls can be found in Notepad++ or Tortoise SVN).</li>
|
||
<li>Added support for Java applications (via the Java Access Bridge). This can provide basic support for Open Office (if Java is enabled), and any other stand-alone Java application. Note that java applets with in a web browser may not work yet.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h3 id="mouse">Mouse</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Improved support for reading what is under the mouse pointer as it moves. It is now much faster, and it also now has the ability in some controls such as standard edit fields, Java and IAccessible2 controls, to read the current word, not just the current object. This may be of some used to vision impared people who just want to read a specific bit of text with the mouse.</li>
|
||
<li>Added a new config option, found in the mouse settings dialog. Play audio when mouse moves, when checked, plays a 40 ms beep each time the mouse moves, with its pitch (between 220 and 1760 hz) representing the y axis, and left/right volume, representing the x axis. This enables a blind person to get a rough idea of where the mouse is on the screen as its being moved. This feature also depends on reportObjectUnderMouse also being turned on. So this means that if you quickly need to disable both beeps and announcing of objects, then just press NVDA+m. The beeps are also louder or softer depending on how bright the screen is at that point.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h3 id="object-presentation-and-interaction">Object presentation and interaction</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Improved support for most common treeview controls. NVDA now tells you how many items are in the branch when you expand it. It also announces the level when moving in and out of branches. And, it announces the current item number and number of items, according to the current branch, not the entire treeview.</li>
|
||
<li>Improved what is announced when focus changes as you move around applications or the operating system. Now instead of just hearing the control you land on, you hear information about any controls this control is positioned inside of. For instance if you tab and land on a button inside a groupbox, the groupbox will also get announced.</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA now tries to speak the message inside many dialog boxes as they appear. This is accurate most of the time, though there are still many dialogs that arn't as good as they could be.</li>
|
||
<li>Added a report object descriptions checkbox to the object presentation settings dialog. Power users may wish to sometimes uncheck this to stop NVDA announcing a lot of extra descriptions on particular controls, such as in Java applications.</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA automatically announces selected text in edit controls when focus moves to them. If there isn't any selected text, then it just announces the current line like usual.</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA is a lot more careful now when it plays beeps to indicate progress bar changes in applications. It no longer goes crazy in Eclipse applications such as Lotus Notes/Symphony, and Accessibility Probe.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h3 id="korisnicko-sucelje">Korisničko sučelje</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Removed the NVDA interface window, and replaced it with a simple NVDA popup menu.</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA's user interface settings dialog is now called General Settings. It also contains an extra setting: a combo box to set the log level, for what messages should go to NVDA's log file. Note that NVDA's log file is now called nvda.log not debug.log.</li>
|
||
<li>Removed the report object group names checkBox from the object presentation settings dialog, reporting of group names now is handled differently.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h2 id="05">0.5</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>NVDA now has a built-in synthesizer called eSpeak, developed by Jonathan Duddington.It is very responsive and lite-weight, and has support for many different languages. Sapi synthesizers can still be used, but eSpeak will be used by default.<ul>
|
||
<li>eSpeak does not depend on any special software to be installed, so it can be used with NVDA on any computer, on a USB thumb drive, or anywhere.</li>
|
||
<li>For more info on eSpeak, or to find other versions, go to http://espeak.sourceforge.net/.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>Fix bug where the wrong character was being announced when pressing delete in Internet Explorer / Outlook Express editable panes.</li>
|
||
<li>Added support for more edit fields in Skype.</li>
|
||
<li>VirtualBuffers only get loaded when focus is on the window that needs to be loaded. This fixes some problems when the preview pane is turned on in Outlook Express.</li>
|
||
<li>Added commandline arguments to NVDA:<ul>
|
||
<li>-m, --minimal: do not play startup/exit sounds and do not show the interface on startup if set to do so.</li>
|
||
<li>-q, --quit: quit any other already running instance of NVDA and then exit</li>
|
||
<li>-s, --stderr-file fileName: specify where NVDA should place uncaught errors and exceptions</li>
|
||
<li>-d, --debug-file fileName: specify where NVDA should place debug messages</li>
|
||
<li>-c, --config-file: specify an alternative configuration file</li>
|
||
<li>-h, -help: show a help message listing commandline arguments</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>Fixed bug where punctuation symbols would not be translated to the appropriate language, when using a language other than english, and when speak typed characters was turned on.</li>
|
||
<li>Dodan je slovački jezik zahvaljujući Peteru Vagneru</li>
|
||
<li>Added a Virtual Buffer settings dialog and a Document Formatting settings dialog, from Peter Vagner.</li>
|
||
<li>Added French translation thanks to Michel Such</li>
|
||
<li>Added a script to toggle beeping of progress bars on and off (insert+u). Contributed by Peter Vagner.</li>
|
||
<li>Made more messages in NVDA be translatable for other languages. This includes script descriptions when in keyboard help.</li>
|
||
<li>Added a find dialog to the virtualBuffers (internet Explorer and Firefox). Pressing control+f when on a page brings up a dialog in which you can type some text to find. Pressing enter will then search for this text and place the virtualBuffer cursor on this line. Pressing f3 will also search for the next occurance of the text.</li>
|
||
<li>When speak typed characters is turned on, more characters should be now spoken. Technically, now ascii characters from 32 to 255 can now be spoken.</li>
|
||
<li>Renamed some control types for better readability. Editable text is now edit, outline is now tree view and push button is now button.</li>
|
||
<li>When arrowing around list items in a list, or tree view items in a tree view, the control type (list item, tree view item) is no longer spoken, to speed up navigation.</li>
|
||
<li>Has Popup (to indicate that a menu has a submenu) is now spoken as submenu.</li>
|
||
<li>Where some language use control and alt (or altGR) to enter a special character, NVDA now will speak these characters when speak typed characters is on.</li>
|
||
<li>Fixed some problems with reviewing static text controls.</li>
|
||
<li>Dodan je prijevod na tradicionalni kineski zahvaljujući Coscell Kao.</li>
|
||
<li>Re-structured an important part of the NVDA code, which should now fix many issues with NVDA's user interface (including settings dialogs).</li>
|
||
<li>Added Sapi4 support to NVDA. Currently there are two sapi4 drivers, one based on code contributed by Serotek Corporation, and one using the ActiveVoice.ActiveVoice com Interface. Both these drivers have issues, see which one works best for you.</li>
|
||
<li>Now when trying to run a new copy of NVDA while an older copy is still running will cause the new copy to just exit. This fixes a major problem where running multiple copies of NVDA makes your system very unusable.</li>
|
||
<li>Renamed the title of the NVDA user interface from NVDA Interface to NVDA.</li>
|
||
<li>Fixed a bug in Outlook Express where pressing backspace at the start of an editable message would cause an error.</li>
|
||
<li>Added patch from Rui Batista that adds a script to report the current battery status on laptops (insert+shift+b).</li>
|
||
<li>Added a synth driver called Silence. This is a synth driver that does not speak anything, allowing NVDA to stay completely silent at all times. Eventually this could be used along with Braille support, when we have it.</li>
|
||
<li>Added capitalPitchChange setting for synthesizers thanks to J.J. Meddaugh</li>
|
||
<li>Added patch from J.J. Meddaugh that makes the toggle report objects under mouse script more like the other toggle scripts (saying on/off rather than changing the whole statement).</li>
|
||
<li>Added spanish translation (es) contributed by Juan C. buo.</li>
|
||
<li>Added Hungarian language file from Tamas Gczy.</li>
|
||
<li>Added Portuguese language file from Rui Batista.</li>
|
||
<li>Changing the voice in the voice settings dialog now sets the rate, pitch and volume sliders to the new values according to the synthesizer, rather than forcing the synthesizer to be set to the old values. This fixes issues where a synth like eloquence or viavoice seems to speek at a much faster rate than all other synths.</li>
|
||
<li>Fixed a bug where either speech would stop, or NVDA would entirely crash, when in a Dos console window.</li>
|
||
<li>If support for a particular language exists, NVDA now automatically can show its interface and speak its messages in the language Windows is set to. A particular language can still be chosen manualy from the user interface settings dialog as well.</li>
|
||
<li>Added script 'toggleReportDynamicContentChanges' (insert+5). This toggles whether new text, or other dynamic changes should be automatically announced. So far this only works in Dos Console Windows.</li>
|
||
<li>Added script 'toggleCaretMovesReviewCursor' (insert+6). This toggles whether the review cursor should be automatically repositioned when the system caret moves. This is useful in Dos console windows when trying to read information as the screen is updating.</li>
|
||
<li>Added script 'toggleFocusMovesNavigatorObject' (insert+7). This toggles whether the navigator object is repositioned on the object with focus as it changes.</li>
|
||
<li>Added some documentation translated in to various languages. So far there is French, Spannish and Finish.</li>
|
||
<li>Removed some developer documentation from the binary distribution of NVDA, it is only now in the source version.</li>
|
||
<li>Fixed a possible bug in Windows Live Messanger and MSN Messenger where arrowing up and down the contact list would cause errors.</li>
|
||
<li>New messages are now automatically spoken when in a conversation using Windows Live Messenger. (only works for English versions so far)</li>
|
||
<li>The history window in a Windows Live Messenger conversation can now be read by using the arrow keys. (Only works for English versions so far)</li>
|
||
<li>Added script 'passNextKeyThrough' (insert+f2). Press this key, and then the next key pressed will be passed straight through to Windows. This is useful if you have to press a certain key in an application but NVDA uses that key for something else.</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA se više ne smrzava duže od minute pri otvaranju vrlo velikih dokumenata u Wordu.</li>
|
||
<li>Fixed a bug where moving out of a table in MS Word, and then moving back in, caused the current row/column numbers not to be spoken if moving back in to exactly the same cell.</li>
|
||
<li>When starting NVDA with a synthesizer that doesn't exist, or is not working, the sapi5 synth will try and be loaded in stead, or if sapi5 isn't working, then speech will be set to silence.</li>
|
||
<li>Increasing and decreasing rate scripts can no longer take the rate above 100 or below 0.</li>
|
||
<li>If there is an error with a language when choosing it in the User Interface Settings dialog, a message box will alert the user to the fact.</li>
|
||
<li>NVDA now asks if it should save configuration and restart if the user has just changed the language in the User Interface Settings Dialog. NVDA must be restarted for the language change to fully take effect.</li>
|
||
<li>If a synthesizer can not be loaded, when choosing it from the synthesizer dialog, a message box alerts the user to the fact.</li>
|
||
<li>When loading a synthesizer for the first time, NVDA lets the synthesizer choose the most suitable voice, rate and pitch parameters, rather than forcing it to defaults it thinks are ok. This fixes a problem where Eloquence and Viavoice sapi4 synths start speaking way too fast for the first time.</li>
