Nao. The release is 2023.10 and its been out for a bit. For me ifinterpriters also no work but thats not been updated for ages. I updated manafest and its working for me but its never been officially compiled so you need to get that yourself. For me zoom enhancements extended winamp and time zoner are the issues. I can probably do without timezoner maybe. I probably could do without winamp. Tony's enhancements I removed because even though I like it if tony aint working on it no more I will have to do without it. Zoom yeah I do use it a lot but not daily. At any rate I am going on holiday so its good things are more or less updated.

If so, try switching to the Spanish Community endpoint, running an update check, and then switching to the NV Access endpoint. enhanced phonetic reading 1.0Functionality included in NVDA, mostly--check the Speech dialog to see if you really need this add-on. Remote support 2.12The current version from nvdaremote.com for many ages, has been 2.5. In fact, 2.2 and lower are for older versions of NVDA (before 2019.3). The Spanish community add-ons directory has a version 2.6 available, that at least says it works with NVDA 2023.1. I don't know how official that is, since nvdaremote.com doesn't list it. Luke |

I'm pretty sure winamp is working but I may have got the version from somebody who tweaked it.

I don't use the others listed. The best approach is to talk to the authors, Some may work if the manifest is updated, but do be careful and do this on a portable version first. Brian -- bglists@...

Hmm, it seems that the RS2 does not automatically download the latest version full release, you have to go through the link on this page and then scroll down below the NVDA for XP and all that goes before to do so.

Is this intentional? I seem to recall it used to just go to a page that said donate, and there was a not now link. Brian -- bglists@... Sent via blueyonder.(Virgin media) Please address personal E-mail to:- briang1@..., putting 'Brian Gaff' in the display name field. ----- Original Message -----

Hi, Different update sources may offer different versions of add-ons - this is how some folks have managed to install newer add-on releases by temporarily switching to a source other than community add-ons website source (add-on store and back, for example). Even though nvdaremote.com may not offer Remote 2.6, if the newer version comes from say, GitHub or anywhere deem authoritative as communicated by authors (say, where the source code resides), then we might as well consider that official (unless 2.6 is a manifest edit shared by users, in which case I think that should be communicated, too); it is now easier than ever to post updates to add-ons from an author's perspective (more on that on add-ons list). Cheers, Joseph |

If, by RS, you mean the release candidate, RC, beta and RC versions
update to new beta and RC versions. The next time a new beta or RC
version is available, either a beta or RC you have now will see the
update. As for production releases, you need to use a production
version to update to a new production version. I don't use RC or
beta versions as installed versions so I can update the production
release when a new version becomes available.

I had thought that only betas and RC versions saw beta and RC
releases. But I just checked and the beta version sees the new
production version of NVDA. I don't think, however, that production
versions see beta or RC versions of NVDA.

Going from beta or RC to production, is moving from less stable to more stable for users. The vast majority of users can be expected to desire that. However, moving from production to beta or RC, would be forcing a user from stability into less stability. Who would want that, unless they were already a tester type? Luke |

I do hope someone can update the Winamp
add on. Actually, this one needed updating for quite a while as
the current version has a bug where it won't read the total time
for a track. I use this thing all the time and will probably delay
updating to latest NVDA until this is fixed.

All I did when I saw the email for it was go to NVDAmenu, help and arrow up to update. What do you know it was sitting right there, so try what the app gives first.

There was an issue for a little while yesterday where the Release Candidate and Beta builds did not see the stable 2023.1 as an update (though users on NVDA 2022.4 and earlier stable builds would have been offered it) - in any case, that has been fixed now so checking for updates should work, or, as always, you can download manually from: https://www.nvaccess.org/post/nvda-2023-1/ Quentin On Tue, Mar 28, 2023 at 8:34 AM Arlene <nedster66@...> wrote:
