NVDA 2024.4 Beta 3 is now available!

Changes introduced in Beta 3:

Updated LibLouis Braille translator to 3.31.0.

• Fixed translation of numbers in Spanish Braille.

• New Braille tables:

• Thai grade 1

• Greek international Braille (single-cell accented letters)

• Renamed tables:

• “Thai 6 dot” was renamed to “Thai grade 0” for consistency reasons.

• The existing “Greek international braille” table was renamed to “Greek international braille (2-cell accented letters)” to clarify the distinction between the two Greek systems.

Updates to translations.

Continuing my trend of being a bit late posting - NVDA 2024.4 Beta 2 is now available: https://www.nvaccess.org/post/nvda-2024-4beta2/

Changes introduced in Beta 2:

• The stability of NVDA’s Poedit support has been improved with the side effect that the minimum required version of Poedit is now version 3.5.
• NVDA no longer freezes while checking for add-on updates.
• Updates to translations.

Note that “NVDA is no longer as sluggish when arrowing up and down through large files in VS Code.” is listed on the release announcement as a new update - this was included in Beta 1 and inadvertently carried over to the Beta 2 announcement.

Thanks so much for pinning this - and for all the responses we’ve got! We are closing the survey today, so can remove the pinned post now.

Of course, we are always happy for feedback, so if anyone does have additional feedback they would like to give, please don’t hesitate to write to info@nvaccess.org

Kind regards

I have also not encountered the credentials going stale issue. It might be worth clearing your browser cache (remember when we had to do that to fix ANYTHING? I have barely needed to do that in the last year or so, but it comes up occasionally).

Re navigating, the list of posts works ok - you can press H to jump from one post to the next. When you actually go into a post, the UI breaks down a bit. Mostly because (for me at least), n doesn’t seem to work to jump to the next non-linked text where it should (as in the body of motobojo’s post, or any replies). The “Skip to content” button also doesn’t seem to work - it comes up as the first item on the page, but you can’t activate it?

We’re going to be there all week. We are presenting in “Orange County 1-2” at 2:20pm on Thursday 21st March.

Uh, thanks?

We try to prioritise features and fixes that will have the most positive impact on the largest number of users. Not all features are used by every user, but there’s usually SOMETHING for everyone in each release.

I’m glad it sounds like we got some things in there for you this time around anyway!
