• New languages: Colombian Spanish, Punjabi.
• It is now possible to restart NVDA or restart NVDA with add-ons disabled from NVDA's exit dialog.
◦ NVDA can also be started with add-ons disabled by using the --disable-addons command line option.
• In speech dictionaries, it is now possible to specify that a pattern should only match if it is a whole word; i.e. it does not occur as part of a larger word.
Changes
• If an object you have moved to with object navigation is inside a browse mode document, but the object you were on previously was not, the review mode is automatically set to document. Previously, this only happened if the navigator object was moved due to the focus changing.
• The Braille display and Synthesizer lists in the respective settings dialogs are now alphabetically sorted except for No braille/No speech, which are now at the bottom.
• Updated liblouis braille translator to 2.6.0.
• In browse mode, pressing e and shift+e to navigate to edit fields now includes editable combo boxes. This includes the search box in the latest version of Google Search.
• Clicking the NVDA icon in the Notification Area with the left mouse button now opens the NVDA menu instead of doing nothing.
