RE: [libreoffice-accessibility] LibreOffice 4.0.5

Awesome news.  I personally won't lose much sleep over there being no
improvements on Linux a11y right now in this version.  Windows and Mac are
where there needs to be the most work.  The version for Linux is by far the
most accessible of them all right now.

Subject: [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.
