  • 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.
