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
