Actually you will find it on the snaps page as the latest snap in the rc branch, its also on its own page so if you still have a copy of the old rc2 from the last time, say a portable version as I have it will download when you run that version.

This problem has come up before when sub versions have been built. the updater is not programmed to look for release candidates.

Hi,
No, 2018.1.1 is required. Although most of you are running Version 1709 or
earlier, if you run 2018.1 on the latest Insider Preview build and use
OneCore synthesizer, you'll notice oddities.
Cheers,

Its not just builds of windows, Even windows ordinary updates can get delayed I notice even on windows 7. I have no idea what logic is used, but it may well be that they limit traffic to the servers so the downloads when they happen are not too slow.

Just wait, it takes some time after you sign up for you to get an
update. Sometimes it may take a week or so and that is if you leave

Re: Keyboard shortcuts for Libre Office writer

JM Casey <crystallogic@...>
 

Yes, same here. I’ve just been trying out Apache Open Office over the last few days. I have mS Office 2010 on this computer, but it’s good to keep one’s options open, and there are some things I already like a lot about OO – must admit that even though I don’t hate MS’s ribbons as such, the classic menus are nicer.

 

 

I was thinking of taking Libre for a spin as well. Too bad if it isn’t quite accessible. But it sounds like you still recommend it….

I am kind of amazed so few people have heard of OO and LibreOffice. OpenOffice is far more accessible with NVDA than LO, but LO can take code directly from OO if they want to use some of the same accessibility information. LO is a better program overall. It can even give you the ability to work with documents within Google Drive without using an add on. I'm also kind of amazed more NVDA developers are not working as closely with OO and LO as they do with Microsoft Office, but there you go. Their wikis are very good if you want some more in depth keyboard navigation.

Subject: [nvda] Important user interface and experience change: postponing NVDA updates, now a reality

 

Dear NVDA community,

 

The following is considered a major change as it’ll affect everyone who chooses to check for and download new NVDA updates:

 

As of March 28, 2018, a change has been made to how NVDA will present update notices. This change, now part of master snapshots (beta-level), will require you to adjust how you respond to update notices.

 

Specifically:

 

Old behavior:

 

  1. NVDA will check for updates.
  2. NVDA will offer to either download and install the update (installed copy) or just download the update (portable version). You can also ask NVDA to remind you later.
  3. For those who’ve installed NVDA: once the update download is complete, you can press Escape to select OK button, and update process will begin.

 

New behavior:

 

  1. NVDA will check for updates.
  2. NVDA will offer to just download the update (both installed copy and portable version) or let it remind you later.
  3. For installed copy: once the update is downloaded, you can either choose to install it now or postpone it. If you press Escape, NVDA will assume that you want to postpone update installation.
  4. If you choose to postpone update installation, a new item will appear when you exit NVDA, which will offer to start the update process when NVDA restarts.

The ability to postpone NVDA updates will be made available in NVDA 2018.2 (May 2018 at the earliest). Thank you.

Cheers,

Joseph
Important advisory and plea: wxPython 4 is offline for now

Joseph Lee
 

Dear NVDA community,

 

As of March 28, 2018, wxPython 4 is no longer part of NVDA next snapshots due to compatibility issues and others. Based on data gathered during testing phase, I and NV Access staff will continue to make refinements to our support for wxPython 4.

 

Upon evaluating this situation, I (the chief investigator for wxPython 4 compatibility) believe more community involvement is needed going forward. Hence, the following will be done:

 

  1. The external wxPython 4 try build series will resume next week.
  2. I’ll be asking community members to test wxPython 4 builds to make sure things are ironed out.
  3. For add-ons I maintain or are under my review: I’ll start looking for wxPython 4 compatibility issues. Although this is optional, I’ll start enforcing compatibility for add-ons I’m reviewing when wxPython 4 is back online. A separate directive will be sent to add-on writers.
  4. The wxPy4 branch which I maintain will now be used to accept pull requests (clone my repo at github.com/josephsl/nvda, then checkout wxPy4). Please do a pull request not from NV Access copy but from my repo for now. I’ll try my best to test and incorporate your pull requests (not in April as I’ll be out of town for two weeks to attend two national speech tournaments).
  5. Please recruit sighted testers and developers so they can provide feedback and offer pull requests. In particular, we want to make sure NVDA dialogs and user interface elements are centered on screen properly.

 

For users: do not think this is something you can just pass by. Your feedback regarding wxPython 4 will have a massive impact on NVDA experience for others going forward.

 

For add-on writers: make sure your add-ons are compatible. As add-ons are now an integral part of a user’s NVDA experience, we want to make sure our add-ons are working as advertised.

 

For NVDA Core developers: please keep wxPython 4 in mind when you write GUI code and others having to do with wxPython features. Keep your feedback coming.

 

Thank you.

Cheers,

Joseph

Hi everyone,

 

The following advisory is rated “major” due to high impact:

 

Toward end of development for Windows 10 Version 1803, Microsoft changed a critical component in Windows OneCore speech synthesizer (specifically, bitrate). This causes OneCore synthesizer to sound a bit funny, including higher pitch. NV Access has just released a release candidate for NVDA 2018.1.1 which will correct this problem. Because of this, you need to be running 2018.1.1 for best experience with Windows 10 Version 1803.

 

Thank you.

Cheers,

Jospeh

screen reader using UEFI?

Robert Kingett
 

I've been trying to look this up but threads and email lists and otherwise say that it cannot be done. With no sighted help, I would like to be able to change my function key behavior on my laptop. When I look in the system information, it just says, for PC Model, HP notebook. Any suggestions on ways I can do this with a screen reader?

Hi,
No, 2018.1.1 is required. Although most of you are running Version 1709 or
earlier, if you run 2018.1 on the latest Insider Preview build and use
OneCore synthesizer, you'll notice oddities.
Cheers,
Joseph

I am confused myself. NVDA January 2018? So does this mean The latest
version is good to go? 2018.1
