46.alpha - 18 January 2024

New and Updated Features:

* The much-requested "sleep mode" has arrived! You can cause Orca to
  act as if it were not running on an as-needed, per-app basis with
  Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Q. This makes it much easier to use VMs in which
  another screen reader is being used as well as self-voicing apps.
  Orca should remember what apps are currently in sleep mode so it is
  only necessary to enable it once per app in a given session. Note
  that Orca does not currently store the setting permanently. This is
  intentional, and is the same behavior as NVDA, but an option may be
  created in the future to permanently store the setting.

* Orca now has commands to present information about the system without
  having to navigate to the bar or widget that displays them:
    * Present CPU and memory usage (unbound, requires psutil)
    * Present battery status (unbound, requires psutil)

* Table navigation commands now work everywhere; not just in web
  browsers and LibreOffice. In addition to the existing commands,
  the following commands have been added:
    * Orca+Shift+T: toggle table navigation (it's enabled by default)
    * Orca+Alt+Shift+Left/Right/Up/Down: move to the final cell in
      the specified direction.

  In addition, Orca's dynamic header commands from LO should now work
  everywhere, including Google Docs and other web-based editors. These
  bindings have changed. The new bindings are:
    * Orca+Shift+R: Set the cells to be treated as column headers to
      this row.
    * Orca+Shift+R double-click: Unset the dynamic column headers row.
    * Orca+Shift+C: Set the cells to be treated as row headers to this
      column.
    * Orca+Shift+C double-click: Unset the dynamic row headers row.

* Orca's outdated tutorial message feature has been removed. In its
  place is support for customized help messages which application and
  toolkit developers can provide via ATK/AT-SPI2's new "help text"
  API. At the present time, we are unaware of any implementations
  and thus have not enabled these new tutorial messages by default.
  Developers seeking to test their implementation can enable Orca's
  presentation of tutorial messages in the Orca Preferences dialog.

* We now always use Atspi's device API for Orca commands. This was
  initially in place only for Gtk 4 apps, which do not report keystrokes
  to us for optional construction. Having addressed the majority of
  issues with this new API, we believe it is ready to be used for all
  applications and toolkits.

Web and Electron Apps Improvements:

* Include DLs in list navigation and DTs in list item navigation.
  Also improve presentation of nested lists.

* Improve presentation of VSCode's selection containers.

* Web: Improve performance of navigation to end of document

LibreOffice Bug Fix:

* Ensure the entire word count dialog is presented when the dialog
  is shown.

General Improvements and Fixes:

* Improve performance by identifying and quickly dismissing obsolete
  accessible events.

* Improve performance by using AT-SPI2's cache for everything.

* Fix bug causing utterances to be split up unexpectedly

* Announce the has popup state even in non-web contexts.

* Lots of code clean-up and more work to eliminate our dependency
  on pyatspi.
