* NEWS, configure.in, README: prep for 0.2.3.
* po/POTFILES.in: remove Gecko.py.
* configure.in: get the ORCA_SETUP_GLADE_DIR working better.
* src/orca/mag.py: minor attempt to follow the caret when it
moves.
2006-04-21 Rich Burridge <rich.burridge@sun.com>
* src/orca/orca-setup.glade
Removed three unwanted "label-for" relationships from the
orca-setup Glade file.
2006-04-21 Rich Burridge <rich.burridge@sun.com>
* src/orca/orca-setup.in
Adjusted the nonGui() side of orca-setup to ask the question:
"Enable Braille? Enter y or n: ", rather than always set it
to True. Removed the now redundant seupBraille() routine.

src/orca/orca-setup.in
Created an initial version of a GUI for Orca configuration.
At the moment, if you run "orca-setup", it will default to
the command line version and will ask you a series of questions.
If you start it with "orca-setup -gui", then it will bring up
a GUI equivalent.
There is still work to do on this before it can be announced
on the Orca mailing list. When it's ready, the plan is to swap
the default behaviour (i.e. no command line options) to be the
GUI version. The command line version would still be available
via a "-nogui" command line option.
2006-04-20 Willie Walker <william.walker@sun.com>
* bugs/bugs.html, bugs/bug_312093.py (new): update based upon
Firefox 2.0a1 nightly from 2006-04-20.
2006-04-17 Willie Walker <william.walker@sun.com>
* src/orca/default.py: fix for bug 338687 - no longer
automatically speaks unbound text in panels that suddenly appear.
NOTE that Orca will still automatically speak dialogs and such.
NOTE ALSO that this fix probably breaks wizard dialogs, but wizards
are so broken, anyway, that I think they need to be handled a little
differently.
* src/orca/atspi.py, src/orca/settings.py: fix for bug 334924 to
keep the cache in better sync. Also use settings.cacheValues
setting instead of atspi.CACHE_VALUES to allow easier setting
and unsetting of whether to cache or not.
* src/orca/default.py: more work for bug 319643. Magnification is
working again, though it does indeed need a bit of work to make it
usable. See also http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=323032.
* src/orca/orca.py, src/orca/mag.py: patch for bug 319643 - recover
gracefully from failures when attempting to load the magnifier.
This allows Orca to work if gnome-mag had not been installed.
* src/orca/rolenames.py, src/orca/atspi.py,
src/orca/scripts/gedit.py, src/orca/scripts/gaim.py: fix for bug
319789 - fallback to localized rolename if it exists.
* src/orca/orca-setup.in: fix for bug 330631 - put rate, gain,
and pitch in user-settings.py.
* src/orca/orca.py: fix for bug 319651 - issue a message and abort
orca if accessibility has not been enabled for the session.
* src/orca/debug.py: update documentation to reflect new way to
set debugLevel.
* test/harness/user-settings.py.in: update to reflect new settings
and new method for setting settings.
2006-04-16 Willie Walker <william.walker@sun.com>
* src/orca/orca_i18n.py.in: fix for bug 338690: orca_i18n was not
working as expected.
* src/orca/default.py, src/orca/util.py,
src/orca/scripts/Mozilla.py, src/orca/scripts/StarOffice.py: make
sayLine, sayWord, and sayCharacter be object methods as opposed to
top level module methods. Also move textLines and getLinkIndex
methods from default.py to util.py. These changes merely reflect a
small cleanup of the object-oriented nature of the code and should
not have any impact on the end user experience.
2006-04-15 Willie Walker <william.walker@sun.com>
* src/orca/focus_tracking_presenter.py: provide some delimiter
output to make it easier to identify the various processing
steps that are done when an event is processed.
* src/orca/speechgenerator.py, src/orca/scripts/gnome-terminal.py:
remove some speech output. This seems to eliminate hearing
"terminal" 6 times, but it does not address the repetitive stuff
that's going on when you go through the profile editing tabs.
* src/orca/orca.py: delay registration of keyboard listeners until
after the user preferences have been loaded. This prevents
exceptions from occurring if the user types on the keyboard in
between the time the user starts orca and the time orca is fully
initialized.
* src/orca/orca-setup.in: remove an errant ")" at the end of a
commented out debug line.
2006-04-14 Willie Walker <william.walker@sun.com>
* src/orca/*.py, src/orca/scripts/*.py: general pass at
removing trailing whitespace from source code, removing
tabs, and making sure copyrights are up to date.
* src/orca/default.py, src/orca/orca.py, src/orca/script.py,
src/orca/scripts/Evolution.py, src/orca/scripts/Mozilla.py,

src/orca/scripts/gdmlogin.py, src/orca/scripts/gedit.py,
src/orca/scripts/gnome-terminal.py, src/orca/scripts/metacity.py,
src/orca/scripts/planner.py: break HUGE default.py:__init__
method up and provide 4 new methods to script.py:
setupInputEventHandlers: sets up input event handlers for a script
getListeners: returns dictionary of AT-SPI event listeners
getKeyBindings: returns keybindings that define which keystrokes
call which input event handlers
getBrailleBindings: returns braillebindings that define which
braille input events call which input event
handlers
This change allows subclasses to more easily define and override
the various features.
2006-04-13 Willie Walker <william.walker@sun.com>
* src/orca/focus_tracking_presenter.py, src/orca/atspi.py: pass
one at bug 334893. This patch adds the knowledge of the toolkit
name and version to an Accessible's application. In the event
that a custom script cannot be found for an application, this
patch also attempts to load a script module based upon the toolkit
name before falling back to the default script. The main
restriction of this patch is that it does not allow one to
override the toolkit module (i.e., settings.scriptPackages is not
used) and the toolkit module must be in the "orca" package. This
probably should be relaxed at some point, but I'm not comfortable
with mixing toolkit scripts and application scripts in the same
packages because of potential Python namespace conflicts (e.g., an
application written in Java named "GAIL" and an application
written using the GAIL toolkit might accidentally both end up
using the GAIL script).

src/orca/scripts/StarOffice.py: fix for bug 338240 to refactor the
way user-settings are managed. This new method removes the
two-tier approach and has user-settings.py set values in
settings.py. It also isolates the default values to settings.py
and removes a fair amount of complexity. Furthermore, this
includes nascent support (Insert+Ctrl+s) to allow the user to
dynamically reload user-settings.py should they edit it while Orca
is running. The reload will also restart speech and braille.
2006-04-12 Rich Burridge <rich.burridge@sun.com>
* src/orca/default.py
src/orca/orca.py
In the _keyEcho() routine in orca.py, no longer do anything
special if this is a printable character and a "special"
component ("special" is an editable component or a terminal).
In the onTextInserted() routine in default.py, check if the
last input event was a keyboard event, check to see if the
text for this event matches what the user typed. If it does,
then don't speak it.
Note that we have to special case the space character as it
comes across as "space" in the keyboard event and " " in the
text event.
2006-04-11 Rich Burridge <rich.burridge@sun.com>
* src/orca/default.py
Added code to the onTextInserted() method to say the last word
when "echo by word" is enabled. Note that it's not speaking the
punctuation or whitespace after the word at the moment. That
will require some changes to the sayWord() method.
2006-04-11 Rich Burridge <rich.burridge@sun.com>
* src/orca/settings.py
src/orca/orca.py
src/orca/default.py
src/orca/orca-setup.in
Changes to the way key echo work per the key and word echo
requirements spec.
Key echo applies to the entire keyboard and is for echoing
keys as they are pressed. The keys are broken into the following
groups that the user can optionally enable for echoing:
o Alphanumeric and punctuation keys
o Modifier keys: CTRL, ALT, Shift, Insert, and "Fn" on laptops.
o Locking keys: Caps Lock, Num Lock, Scroll Lock, etc.
o Function keys: The keys at the top of the keyboard.
o Action keys: space, enter, escape, tab, backspace, delete, arrow
keys, page up, page down, etc.
When a key from any enabled group is pressed, the key will
be spoken.
The onTextInserted() method only speaks the text associated
with the "object:text-change:insert" event if key echoing and
echoing of printable characters are both enabled.
The orca-setup.in script has been adjusted to ask various questions
to allow the user to setup whether these types of keys will be
echoed or not.
* src/orca/settings.py
src/orca/braille.py
src/orca/focus_tracking_presenter.py

src/orca/orca-setup.in
Refactoring of use<name> to enable<name> for various settings to
be consistent in style with the names for the new keyboard
enabling types.
The orca-setup.in script has been adjusted to use these new names.
2006-04-10 Willie Walker <william.walker@sun.com>
* docs/doc-set/*: update requirements
2006-04-09 Willie Walker <william.walker@sun.com>
* src/orca/scripts/planner.py: use new braille API to for
displayRegions and also handle the label a little better.
* src/orca/orca.py, src/orca/settings.py: fix for bug 337857,
allow user to customize which key(s) can be used as the Orca
modifier key.
* po/POTFILES.in: add gedit and utils.
2006-04-08 Willie Walker <william.walker@sun.com>
* src/orca/braille.py, src/orca/scripts/Evolution.py
src/orca/scripts/StarOffice.py: fix for bug 337704 - add API
symmetry to braillegenerator.py:getBrailleRegions and
braille.py:displayRegions.
* src/orca/orca-setup.in: fix for RFE (bug 337709) - force
speaking rate parameter to be added to ACSS for default force.
2006-04-07 Rich Burridge <rich.burridge@sun.com>
* src/orca/default.py
Small change to the onTextInserted() method as part of the
key echo revamp. If echoing by character and word are both
off, then just return and don't speak anything.
[Update: change removed for now as it has the side-effect
of no longer speaking any text that's inserted into the gedit or
gnome-terminal application. Need to find out how to determine
whether this "object:text-changed:insert" event was generated
as the result of a key being pressed.]
2006-04-07 Rich Burridge <rich.burridge@sun.com>
* bugs/bugs.html
Added in the following GNOME planner bug:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=337659
Planner Edit Task Properties dialog has broken accessible
component hierarchy.
2006-04-07 Rich Burridge <rich.burridge@sun.com>
* src/orca/scripts/planner.py
Adjustment to case #1 in the onFocus() method, to also add
the label for the toggle button to the braille display.
2006-04-07 Rich Burridge <rich.burridge@sun.com>
* src/orca/orca-setup.in
Several changes to the orca-setup script:
- Removed the "Use key echo?" question and associated
orca.settings.USE_KEY_ECHO setting.
- Replaced it with:
"Echo by word, character, both or none? Enter w, c, b or n: "
which will set two settings to True or False:
orca.settings.USE_ECHO_BY_WORD
orca.settings.USE_ECHO_BY_CHAR
depending upon the users answer.
- Added in another question: "Use Braille Monitor? Enter y or n: ".
The Braille Monitor is a visual representation of what is being
brailled by Orca.
- Automatically create a "orca-scripts" directory under the
users .orca directory, if it doesn't already exist.
- Automatically create an empty __init__.py file in the
orca-scripts directory, if it doesn't already exist.
This will enable the user to put their own specific
applications scripts in the orca-scripts directory,
and Orca will pick them up.
- Added a section of code that will generate the following lines
at the end of the user's user-settings.py file:
try:
__import__("orca-customizations")
except ImportError:
pass
What this means is that Orca will now look for a file
called "orca-customizations.py" in the user's .orca directory.
This file should contain any custom Orca Python code that the
user wants. Having it in a separate file from user-settings.py
means it won't get blown away when you rerun orca-setup
2006-04-06 Rich Burridge <rich.burridge@sun.com>
* src/orca/orca.py
Added in two sections of code in _keyEcho():
- check to see if the key event is for a "special" key (via
the new _specialKey method) and if so, then handle its
echoing in the _keyEcho method. Currently this is just testing
for Control, Alt, Shift and Meta. Over time, this routine
will be tweaked to handle the full set of special keys.
- check to see if the object that currently has focus is an
editable text object or has a role of "terminal". If so, and
its not a special key, then the echoing of the key event will
occur via an "object:text-changed:insert" event.
This improves the double echoing that was previously happening.
2006-04-06 Rich Burridge <rich.burridge@sun.com>
* src/orca/orca.py
Slight refactoring to move some keyboard echo code out of
_processKeyboardEvent() and into the _keyEcho() method.
_keyEcho() now takes an event (AT-SPI DeviceEvent) parameter
rather than an event_string so that at a later date, we can
fully interrogate the keyboard event we've just received.
2006-04-06 Rich Burridge <rich.burridge@sun.com>
* src/orca/scripts/planner.py src/orca/scripts/Evolution.py
src/orca/scripts/planner.py src/orca/scripts/Evolution.py
Adjusted case #1 in the onFocus() method in the planner.py
script, to fall through and also do the default action for
the focus event.
Removed the walkComponentHierarchy() from the planner,
Evolution, StarOffice and gedit scripts and used calls to
atspi.printAncestry(event.source) instead.
2006-04-06 Willie Walker <william.walker@sun.com>
* src/orca/orca.py, src/orca/atspi.py,
src/orca/hierarchical_presenter.py, src/orca/scripts/metacity.py:
fix for bug 337489 where metacity script would inappropriately
think apps that started after Orca started were inaccessible.
2006-04-05 Willie Walker <william.walker@sun.com>
* src/orca/focus_tracking_presenter.py, orca/src/settings.py: fix
for bug 337322 where the user was not being notified of window
title changes when the user uses Alt+TAB to tab between windows.
The primary culprit was name space pollution by GTK, but Orca
should sheild itself from this. This fix provides that shield
somewhat, but the ramification is that scripts are no longer
picked up from the local directory (which was just a convenience
for script writers).
* docs/doc-set/*.{sgml,html,pdf}: make this compile again. For
some bizarre reason, docbook on my Ubuntu box no longer liked "_"
in entities or ids, and it was easier to get rid of them rather
than scour the web to see what was going wrong.
2006-04-05 Rich Burridge <rich.burridge@sun.com>
* src/orca/atspi.py
Changes to the __get_label() method. The check to see if the
object has a name (and if so, return it), has been moved to
the beginning. The improves the readibility of checkboxes on
various StarOffice options dialog panes.
The special case code for push buttons with children, has been
adjusted to no longer first check to see if the push button has
a name.
2006-04-05 Rich Burridge <rich.burridge@sun.com>
* src/orca/default.py
Couple of changes to the visualAppearanceChanged() method.
1/ If this object is CONTROLLED_BY the object that currently
has focus, speak/braille this object.
2/ If this object is a label, and if it has a LABEL_FOR relation
to the focused object, then we should speak/braille the
focused object, as if it had just got focus.
2006-04-05 Rich Burridge <rich.burridge@sun.com>
* bugs/bugs.html
Added in the following GNOME planner bug:

Toggle button in main window not accessible</td>
Also fixed up the table of OpenOffice bugs.
2006-04-05 Rich Burridge <rich.burridge@sun.com>
* src/orca/scripts/Makefile.am
src/orca/scripts/planner.py (new)
Created a new planner.py script for the Planner application.
Currently it looks to see if the focus is on one of the four
graphical toggle buttons on the left side of the main window
and if so, speaks the label associated with it.
2006-04-04 Rich Burridge <rich.burridge@sun.com>
* bugs/bugs.html
Added the following new OpenOffice bugs:

Created a speakMisspeltWord(allTokens, badWord) routine in
util.py that is now used by the spell checking code for the
gedit, Evolution and StarOffice scripts.
2006-03-30 Rich Burridge <rich.burridge@sun.com>
* src/orca/orca-setup.in
Fixed bug #336648 (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=336648)
The orca-setup script now successfully completed speaking
"Orca setup finished" before the speech server is shutdown.
2006-03-30 Rich Burridge <rich.burridge@sun.com>
* src/orca/scripts/gedit.py
Added in spell checking support. The misspelt word and its
context are now spoken in a similar way to the StarOffice and
Evolution scripts.
NOTE: this will currently only work correctly if you turn:
CACHE_VALUES = False
in atspi.py. See Orca bug #334924 for more details
(http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=334924).

speak) the default action for this component.
2006-03-27 Rich Burridge <rich.burridge@sun.com>
* src/orca/scripts/StarOffice.py
Changes to the readMisspeltWord() routine to:
- Only braille (not speak) the default action for this component.
- Handle misspelt words at the end of the line.
- Don't respeak the mispelt word and context when tabbing around
inside the Spell Checker Dialog.
2006-03-27 Rich Burridge <rich.burridge@sun.com>

rolename entry.
2006-03-27 Rich Burridge <rich.burridge@sun.com>
* src/orca/scripts/Evolution.py
Adjusted the "A.M." and "P.M." suffix occurances in the
getTimeForCalRow() routine to remove references to urine.
