* Many bug fixes and performance improvements across the board (over 160
bugs)
* A couple very serious hangs were eliminated.
* Speech pitch, rate, and volume now change on the fly when adjusting
them in the preferences UI.
* Vastly improved support for ARIA in Firefox.
* Improved performance and reliability for flat review.
* New feature to speak MultiCaseStrings as individual words.
* New feature to automatically speak shortcuts (mnemonics).
* Known Problems:
o See the open bugs in the Orca bug database. We not only track
Orca bugs in the Orca bug database, we also track bugs in other
components that affect Orca's ability to provide good access to
them.
o Compiz is still not fully accessibility friendly at this point
in time. We recommend you stick with Metacity until the Compiz
kinks are worked out. If you're using Compiz and want to switch
to Metacity, you can run the following command:
metacity --replace.
Lots of "Fix for bug #..." and translation update entries removed.

NOTE: There have been keybindings changes for this release.
* Instead of Orca+F1 to enter learn mode, the binding is now
Orca+h.
* Instead of Orca+{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9} to read the last nth message
that was presented in an application such as gaim or gnome-mud, the
binding is now Orca+{F1,F2,F3,F4,F5,F6,F7,F8,F9}.
* The debugging keys have been rebound as well. The new bindings
are Orca+Ctrl+Alt+{the following}, where {the_following} is one
of:
End - report active script info
Home - print list of known apps and their windows
Page_Up - print locus of focus ancestry
Page_Down - print accessible hierarchy of active application
Magnification:
* Support "live updating" when setting various magnification features
Changes made to the zoomer in the Orca Preferences now update in
real time: it is no longer necessary to press the Apply button to
see if the option you've chosen works for you and then undo it or
adjust it if it doesn't. Note that you must still press the Apply
or the OK button to make your changes permanent.
Performance and Quality:
* Much work on performance (bug #491756). If you have specific areas
that you think are slow, please let us know the exact details. These
performance fixes also rely upon fixes being made in other modules
(pyorbit, pyatspi) for the GNOME 2.21.4 release.
* Completed major pylinting work (bug #486726). This helped us
greatly and found a few latent bugs.
2.21.3 - 03-Dec-2007
General:
* Lots and lots of pylint'ing (bug #486726)
* Beginning of work on performance (bug #491576). We still have a bit
of work to do. We actually have some changes, but we're not comfortable
with them yet.
