Re: NVDA version release dates
Ali Savas
Hi,
thank you very much for your help. If possible, I need a list from version 0.5 to 2020.1. If these dates are not reproducible, then this is the case. Best regards Ali

Status Bar Items in View 45 Unread Items in View 8 Normal View. Show All Pinned Panes. Reading View. Hide All Pinned Panes. Zoom Out Zoom 0 Zoom In Zoom 10% Size box

Re: NVDA version release dates
Luke Davis
For some reason, the devs seem reluctant to include dates in the changes file. However if you really need them, they can be gotten.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
If you have a git installation (with related linuxish tools like sed and grep, such as under WSL), and a cloned copy of the NVDA repository, you can do the following. You can change the date format in various ways, if this is not to your liking--E.G. changing "local" to "short", to get 2019-01-01 format dates: git for-each-ref --sort=taggerdate --format "- %(tag) (%(taggerdate:local))" refs/tags|grep -vE "(rc|beta)"|grep release|tac|sed 's/release-//g' That is slightly modified from the example in this discussion, to which you might want to add your comment about the use case for dates: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/10013 The above command, on an old copy of the repo that I have laying around, gives the following results: - 2019.1.1 (Tue Apr 9 21:43:33 2019) - 2019.1 (Mon Mar 25 16:06:20 2019) - 2018.4.1 (Sun Jan 13 19:29:29 2019) - 2018.4 (Sun Dec 16 16:44:00 2018) - 2018.3.2 (Wed Sep 26 02:45:15 2018) - 2018.3.1 (Wed Sep 19 19:08:13 2018) - 2018.3 (Tue Sep 18 00:06:47 2018) - 2018.2.1 (Sat Jul 7 08:27:36 2018) - 2018.2 (Wed Jun 13 01:32:22 2018) - 2018.1.1 (Tue Mar 27 22:30:58 2018) - 2018.1 (Wed Mar 7 23:39:53 2018) - 2017.4 (Tue Dec 5 21:34:41 2017) - 2017.3 (Thu Aug 24 06:45:05 2017) - 2017.2 (Mon May 29 02:20:51 2017) - 2017.1 (Tue Feb 21 23:47:11 2017) - 2016.4 (Thu Dec 15 18:28:38 2016) - 2016.3 (Tue Sep 6 00:59:00 2016) - 2016.2.1 (Fri Jun 10 02:09:57 2016) - 2016.2 (Thu Jun 2 00:50:10 2016) - 2016.1 (Sun Feb 21 19:50:59 2016) - 2015.4 (Sun Nov 22 19:32:53 2015) - 2015.3 (Mon Aug 24 18:46:43 2015) - 2015.2 (Mon Jun 15 13:33:16 2015) - 2015.1 (Sun Feb 22 20:29:41 2015) - 2014.4 (Thu Nov 27 00:11:47 2014) - 2014.3 (Wed Sep 3 23:28:28 2014) - 2014.2 (Thu May 22 08:22:52 2014) - 2014.1 (Wed Mar 12 19:39:23 2014) - 2013.3 (Tue Dec 3 20:17:57 2013) - 2013.2 (Thu Aug 29 01:35:00 2013) - 2013.1.1 (Sun Jun 23 23:33:53 2013) - 2013.1 (Fri May 17 14:03:02 2013) Regards, Luke

NVDA version release dates
Ali Savas
Hello everyone,
I am currently in the process of reworking the German Wikipedia article from the beginning. Is there a list of which NVDA version was released on which date? This would help me a lot to create a version table with a summary of the most important changes. Thank you very much in advance for your help and I wish you a nice evening. Best regards Ali

Re: Lost voices and speech synths
Luke Davis
Hi Gerry.
Some comments and a possible solution below. On Friday 26th April my Win10 laptop was updated automatically. When the system re-started my NVDA voice had been replaced by Hazel. On investigation I had lost all voices except Hazel, listed under Microsoft API version 5 and George, listed under Windows one core voices. The voice I had lost was male,I probably have the same Windows update, but no such problem. I have access to David, Mark, and Zira (Zira not Zero) across the two MS APIs. At the time I was running nvda Feb 19, so I updated to March 19. This madeJust something you may want to know: The NVDA versions are not Feb and March. The NVDA version number is a four digit number representing the year, like 2019 or 2020. Then it has a period, and a single digit number usually between 1 and 4. These do not represent months. It may also have another period, followed by a single digit number. These do not represent days. In short, 2019.2.1 is not a date, but a version number with three parts, which some voices read as a date because they aren't smart enough to know not to. That will not hurt you in this situation, but it may be useful to know in other situations. Also, NVDA is now up to 2020.1 (Which, again, is not January, but just means the first version released in year series 2020). You may want to try upgrading to that. 2 What synthesizers and voices come as standard with nvda?Espeak, and all of its voices and variants. All the rest come standard with Windows, and NVDA just utilizes them. 3 Would an un-install and re-install fix my problem? I have not tried this as I would need sighted help.You wouldn't need sighted help. The solution there, is to use Narrator. In windows, with NVDA shut down, press control+windows+enter, and Narrator will start. You could get everything ready in NVDA (pre-open relevant windows, download files, etc.), then switch to Narrator for the minimum time necessary to remove NVDA and start the new installation. That said, it seems very unlikely that you need to reinstall. Most probably, Windows removed the voices for some reason. To try to get them back, press your windows key and type "speech". Move down to "speech settings", and press enter. Then tab over to the "Manage voices" group, and you should be on the "add voices" button. Press enter on that, and you will be able to enter and choose your language, and then install the appropriate voice pack(s). In this case, you'll want to install the English (US) voice pack. Once you select and install the voice, close everything and restart NVDA. That should solve your problem. If not, post back with exactly what you did and what happened, and someone will probably have further ideas. 5 How can I download the latest User Manual?The NVDA user manual is always available on the menu. Press NVDA+n, h, u, and you will be looking at the user guide. If you want the actual file, while your browser has that open, go to the address bar (for example with control+l), and from there you can copy the path to the actual manual file, which is on your system already. On mine it is in c:\Program Files (x86)\NVDA\documentation\en\userGuide.html Regards, Luke

Hi, this is my first post and it is a great list
On Friday 26th April my Win10 laptop was updated automatically. When the system re-started my NVDA voice had been replaced by Hazel. On investigation I had lost all voices except Hazel, listed under Microsoft API version 5 and George, listed under Windows one core voices. The voice I had lost was male, possibly David, but I had not needed to look at this for years. I much prefer the voice I lost.
At the time I was running nvda Feb 19, so I updated to March 19. This made no difference. Next I reverted to original configuration. This did make a difference. I now had the following settings.
Synthesisors, E speak ng, Microsoft API version 5, Windows one core
In Microsoft API 5 I have only Microsoft zero Desk top United States and Microsoft Hazel English UK.
In Windows one core voices I have, George, Susan and Hazel.
As I don't like any of these voices, I need to find a way to obtain a voice I like.
My questions
1 Was the MS update unusual this time as I have never experienced this situation before?
2 What synthesisers and voices come as standard with nvda?
3 Would an un-install and re-install fix my problem? I have not tried this as I would need sighted help.
4 I followed the recent thread on Code factory and Tiflow and wonder if I should go to one of these ?
5 How can I download the latest User Manual?
Any advice on these issues would be gratefully received.
with thanks
Gerry

Torrents
Vlad Dragomir
Good morning everyone,
I hope I’m wrong, but it seems to me that NVDA doesn’t like Torrent clients, or rather, Torrent clients don’t like NVDA. I’m in desperate need of an accessible, configurable Torrent client. In my experience so far, BitTorrent and UTorrent have inaccessible installers so I can’t even try them. I also played with qBittorrent, Tixati, PicoTorrent, BiglyBT, Halite And Transmission. Some are totally inaccessible, others don’t allow me to change any default settings. I admit I’m running out of ideas. If anybody had better experiences, would he/she kindly share them with me. I’d be very grateful and happy to receive a bit of help/advice. It would be so much better to use torrents instead of direct downloads, especially for Linux distributions or on sites like archive.org.
Many thanks in advance, and warm regards.
Vlad.

If you press NVDA+end (or in laptop keyboard layout, NVDA+shift+end), NVDA will read the status bar, which is where that information is. Kind regards Quentin.
