NVDA 2011.1rc1 Released

NVDA 2011.1rc1 has just been released. This is a release candidate, which means that unless any critical issues are found, this will be almost identical to the final 2011.1 release.

Note that there may be some minor updates to some translations (particularly of the what's new document) in the final release.

Changes from beta2 to rc1:

  • Updated translations.
  • Updated documentation.
  • The status bar in Media Player Classic Home Cinema is now recognised.
  • When reading by line in AkelPad with word wrap enabled, NVDA no longer reads the first character of the following line at the end of the current line.
  • In the Visual Studio 2005/2008 code editor, NVDA no longer reads the entire text after every typed character. (#975)
  • A non-textual character (specifically, a Unicode BOM) is no longer placed at the start of the title of many of NVDA's documentation files.
  • Fixed the issue where some braille displays weren't cleared properly when NVDA was exited or the display was changed.
  • When reverting to saved configuration and a braille display is active in the saved configuration, the display presents the appropriate focus or review position instead of being blank.
  • Fixed a bug where the first command immediately after NVDA was started did not work in some cases, especially on braille displays.
  • The Freedom Scientific Focus 40 Blue braille display can now be used when connected via bluetooth. (#1345)
  • The initial focus is no longer sometimes spoken twice when NVDA starts. (#1359)
  • NVDA no longer fails to start when configured to use Spanish or Galician. (#1361)
  • In the NVDA General Settings dialog, the name of the default language is no longer shown for the SR language code. (#1363)
  • NVDA no longer freezes when you attempt to activate an NVDA settings dialog using a keyboard shortcut when another NVDA settings dialog is already open. (#1372)
  • You can no longer open a second NVDA settings dialog if you try twice.
  • Fixed the issue where certain links weren't being recognised correctly in MSHTML controls. This included links in Windows XP Update and email messages in Windows Live Mail. (#1330)
  • NVDA now gracefully handles encoding errors in the user input gesture map.
  • Locale input gesture maps are now correctly copied into binary builds.
