What's New in Accessibility
Το GNOME προσπαθεί με πάθος να κάνει το λογισμικό διαθέσιμο σε όλους, συμπεριλαμβανομένων των χρηστών και των προγραμματιστών με αναπηρίες που κάνουν τη χρήση του υπολογιστή δύσκολη. Για να βοηθήσει, το GNOME δημιούργησε το Έργο προσιτότητας του GNOME και ένα πλαίσιο ανάπτυξης προσιτότητας το οποίο είναι πλέον το πρότυπο στις ελεύθερες επιφάνειες εργασίας.
GNOME 2.30 continues to build on its prior accessibility credentials with several improvements.
4.1. Orca Screen Reader
The Orca screen reader has had significant work done to reduce program bugs and improve performance, with over 160 bugs fixed for GNOME 2.30. Some of the improvements include:
- The preferences user interface has been updated to improve Orca on netbooks.
- You can now run orca --replace to start a new Orca process that also kills all other running Orca processes.
- Orca now has a new "About" dialog.
4.2. Other Accessibility Updates
A significant amount of work has gone into GNOME Accessibility to remove Bonobo. The D-Bus implementation of AT-SPI has made to work side by side with the CORBA implementation. GNOME 2.30 is the last official release that will support the CORBA implementation with D-Bus replacing CORBA in GNOME 3.0.
