NVDA 2011.1beta2 Released

NVDA 2011.1beta2 has just been released. It is intended for those who are interested in testing and evaluating the upcoming NVDA 2011.1 release, but is not recommended for production use. Testers are encouraged to report any bugs found while using this beta.

Note that some translations may not yet be updated. They will be updated by the time of the final 2011.1 release.

Changes from beta1 to beta2:

  • Updated translations.
  • Updated documentation.
  • Fixed problems when reading text in Windows command consoles with reporting of line numbers enabled.
  • The Elements List dialog for virtual buffers is now usable by sighted users. All controls are visible on screen. (#1321)
  • The list of entries in the Speech Dictionary dialog is now more readable by sighted users. The list is now large enough to show all of its columns on screen. (#90)
  • The reload plugins command no longer causes NVDA to stop loading plugins from the user configuration directory.
  • On ALVA BC640/BC680 braille displays, NVDA no longer disregards display keys that are still held down after another key is released.
  • Adobe Reader X no longer crashes after leaving the untagged document options before the processing dialog appears. (#1218)
  • NVDA now switches to the appropriate braille display driver when you revert to saved configuration. (#1346)
  • The Visual Studio 2008 Project Wizard is read correctly again. (#974)
  • Fixed the issue where certain key combinations on braille displays never activated the command to which they were bound; e.g. b2+b4+b5 on Handy Tech displays. (#1349)
  • The ALVA BC640/680 braille display driver works again.
  • NVDA no longer completely fails to work in applications which contain non-ASCII characters in their executable name. (#1352)
  • Errors in the user input gesture map no longer cause NVDA to fail to start. Instead, a dialog is presented informing the user about the error, after which NVDA continues normally. (#1342)
  • The user input gesture map is now reloaded when you revert to saved configuration.
