[libreoffice-accessibility] LibreOffice 4.0.5

LibreOffice 4.0.5 was released today and I just wanted to make you all 
aware that there are at least two accessibility related fixes included 
in this release.

Windows:
As Stuart announced earlier the Java Accessibility Bridge is now fixed 
for Java 7. This is the first release in the 4.0-series of LibreOffice 
that includes this patch. David did a great job with this patch.

Mac:
The first patches from Boris will be in this release. It is a patch to 
make VoiceOver follow the keyboard focus. This is a huge step for the 
accessibility support on Mac. There are a more improvements to come in 
later versions of LibreOffice, such as typing echo information about 
text attributes etc. I do not know exactly when these improvements will 
be available but they should be in LibreOffice 4.2-series which will be 
released in the beginning of next year (~february).

Linux:
Sorry to say that I do not know of any improvements for the Linux version.
