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

* What's changed for Orca v2.29.2?
==================================
2.29.2 - 16-Nov-2009
NOTE - as a result of work on bgo#598917, you must now use
"orca --replace" if you want the new Orca process to kill any existing
processes. Prior to this, merely running "orca" would automatically
kill any existing processes. The new behavior is more consistent with
the way singleton instances are handled by many other applications.
General:
* Provisional support for the GNOME Shell Magnifier (a work in
progress)
* Fix for bgo#554688 - Navigation in gconf-editor doesn't work
* Fix for bgo#597159 - Orca does not provide access to the contents of
Packagemanager's HTML container
* Fix for bgo#597170 - Add support for Banshee script (thanks Eitan!)
* Fix for bgo#598917 - Orca Multiple Instances
NOTE: you must now use "orca --replace" if you want the new Orca
process to kill any existing Orca process. Prior to this, merely
running "orca" would automatically kill any existing processes. The
new behavior is more consistent with the way singleton instances are
handled by many other applications.
* Fix for bgo#600372 - Orca handles text configuration input
incorrectly
* Fix for bgo#600539 - Man page improvements (thanks Arky!)
