Hi all,
Also, I’m taking a break from everything
that has to do with NVDA for a few weeks so I can get my
health back. After a busy weekend and doing some internal
translations work, it has become clear to me that I have
sort of reached the limit as to how many things I can do at
once. Thus, in order to concentrate on things outside of
NVDA, I’m suspending all work related to NVDA, including
add-on releases and development, code contribution and what
not (for translators: I have resigned from translation work,
but did say I’ll help out with 2019.1 translations).
In case folks would like to reach me
online, emails will work. For those wishing to (finally)
meet me offline, although I won’t be going to CSUN
conference due to scheduling conflicts, I’ll be going to a
national speech tournament in April to be held at Santa Ana,
California.
Cheers,
Joseph
Hi everyone,
As agreed to between add-on authors a few
weeks ago (announcing compatibility statements between beta
1 and official release), I’d like to let folks know that
supported add-ons coming from me are compatible with NVDA
2019.1. Supported add-ons include:
- Add-on Updater
- Easy Table Navigator
- Enhanced Touch Gestures
- Golden Cursor (maintenance
only)
- GoldWave
- ObjPad
- Object Location Tones
- Resource Monitor
- Screen Curtain (experimental)
- StationPlaylist Studio
- SystrayList
- Virtual Review
- Windows 10 App Essentials
Important notices regarding some of
these:
- Add-on Updater: 30 days after
release of NVDA 2019.1, support for 2018.4 will be dropped
from this add-on.
- StationPlaylist Studio: for
people using 18.09.x-LTS, after release of 18.09.8 in
April, 18.09.x will enter bug fix only mode. Also, for
those using stable releases, version 19.06 and later will
require Studio 5.20 and later.
- Windows 10 App Essentials: 30
days after release of NVDA 2019.1, support for 2018.3 will
be dropped from this add-on as for add-on maintenance
policy (supporting current and immediate past releases).
For add-ons dropping support for older
NVDA releases:
- Although I did say 30 days, the
schedule is a bit flexible, and I’ll let you know when
support for older NVDA releases ends.
- For people using Add-on Updater
(or for that matter, NVDA 2019.1 beta 1 and later), ending
support for old NVDA releases means add-on manifest will
be edited to reflect this change.
Lastly, although not stated in the
subject line, once Python 3 version of NVDA ships, most (if
not all) add-ons maintained by me will require that version
of NVDA at some point in the future. To help out with
transitions, I’ll give you a grace period where you can
evaluate that future version of NVDA. Once the grace period
closes, there’s no going back.
Cheers,
Joseph
