The last version is 21.05 and it is available in the add-ons oficial page... So, if you do not have the add-on to update automatically, go to add-ons manager, Get add-ons and download it from there... Rui Fontes Às 22:30 de 08/09/2021, Kevin Cussick via groups.io escreveu:

COM registration tool in NVDA 2021.2rc1
Jason White
I can report that the COM Registration Tool in NVDA 2021.2rc1 was able to solve a problem that the version of the tool in 2021.1 was unable to fix. The symptoms were as follows.
I don’t know what change caused these issues. I may have uninstalled something at some point that deleted registry entries which it shouldn’t have changed. Fortunately, all appears to be in order after having run COM Registration in 2021.2rc1. The system is Windows 10 21h1 (64-bit), build 19043.1202. All of the browsers concerned are up to date. I’m noting this here in case it helps someone who encounters similar issues.

Clock add-on: being modernized as we speak
Hello NVDA users, In the midst of studying for graduate coursework, I’m delighted to announce that Clock add-on (developed by Hrvoje Katic) is undergoing massive facelift. I’m sure many of you were wondering about lack of news about this add-on, but fear not – a group of NVDA add-on developers are updating the add-on to make it work on newer NVDA releases. Part of the reason why there has been no news on Clock add-on was the difficulty in finding new maintainers. The add-ons community recently got in touch with Hrvoje (original author) about the status of the Clock add-on with NvDA 2021.1. In response, Hrvoje informed us that he cannot maintain the add-on on a timely manner and asked the community to keep it updated. After a community-led discussion, it was agreed that I (Joseph Lee) will perform a massive “surgery” of this add-on i.e. I’m modernizing it on behalf of the community as it was felt that I was the best person to do it (a huge thank you to Abdel and others for keeping the add-on updated for a while). The whole point of this massive surgery is to teach Clock add-on to use newer NVDA features. The last major change was made last year (2020) as part of upgrading to Python 3. Since then many things happened, and it was found that there are features in newer NVDA releases that the add-on can use. The most noticeable change is better integration with NVDA’s multi-page settings interface, as well as defining scripts easier. At the same time, it was pointed out that the add-on uses a mixture of Python 2 and 3 code. Python 2 is end of life as of 2020, and since NVDA 2019.3’s release more add-ons have migrated to Python 3. Therefore, it was decided that this would be the golden opportunity to move Clock add-on to full Python 3 once and for all. But perhaps the biggest reason for this surgery is to clean up the add-on code. I think the biggest reason why the add-ons community asked me to perform this facelift was recent experiences with modernizing add-on code. I believe that one way to make add-on development easier is to align the source code more closely with that of NVDA screen reader itself. With this mindset, I have performed code cleanup and modernization on a number of add-ons, and add-ons that were maintained by me recently had their code cleaned up. So in summary, the following changes are planned or coming with a future version of Clock add-on (tentatively scheduled for late September):
As for how long I will maintain Clock add-on, it depends; I think maybe several months before I pass the add-on back to the community for further maintenance as my primary job with this add-on is the grand modernization surgery. So, as users, you can rest assured that I and members of the add-ons community are working hard to release a version of Clock add-on that is optimized for NVDA 2019.3 and later (and also compatible with 2021.1 and later). Thank you. Cheers, Joseph

Since this project is open-source someone else could take it over if the original developer cannot be reached or has made the decision to cease development. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H1, Build 19043 Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

Re: NVDA documentation
David Mellor
The commands for prev and next within the container are in the
table. The "flattened" next and prev keys, to use the terminology in the NVDA
menu input gestures section are not mentioned.
They do seem to have been omitted.

Re: NVDA documentation
Hi, Quentin is the one who looks after documentation these days, and I sometimes look at user guide. The flattened view refers to moving to the next or previous object regardless of object navigation hierarchy. For example, you can move from an object to its child, then to the object's sibling, then to the object next to its parent and what not. This was implemented to support object navigation via touchscreen gestures where you can move among objects on the screen regardless of relationship. Cheers, Joseph

Re: Unable to click the free resources link at devsecops-academy.com
Hi all,
Many thanks for checking. Brian, I’ll keep the # tip in mind. I did not realize that the link was a same page link.
I’ll see if I want to write to the web site’s administrators. Ideally I should but that is beyond the scope of this list.

Re: NVDA documentation

I just checked and when discussing object navigation, the manual doesn’t
include the move to previous object and move to next object commands I gave in
my last message.
Gene

I don’t know what you mean by the phrase flattened view. Are you
talking about being in object review and using the commands numpad insert numpad
4 and numpad insert numpad 6? These are desktop layout commands.

Hello
group, I'm not sure who looks after the documentation so I'll post here if that's okay. I noticed there was nothing in the manual about the: * Moves to the next object in a flattened view of the object navigation hierarchy * Moves to the previous object in a flattened view of the object navigation hierarchy Neither command have keyboard shortcuts associated with them by default. Perhaps they got forgotten about for the manual. Best wishes, David

Re: thunderbird selected
Gene
This problem has nothing to do with physically dirty keys. It is an
NVDA problem in which modifier keys may become stuck on, not physically but in
the functioning of the computer. This was discussed a number of months ago
and others verified the problem.

I keep planning to take off the caps of this gaming board, warm rince them and then wipe off the switches but never get round to it. So this board is probably a bit dirty its never really been cleaned bar with vacuum gently since I got it so maybe its full of junk under there.
