45.1 - 6 October 2023
Web:
* Fix regression in bookmark support.
* Fix bug causing Cthulhu to present some custom widgets as an image.
General:
* Fix bug causing Cthulhu to ignore objects that are valid because they
had been defunct/invalid before.
* Fix bug causing rewind and fast-forward in SayAll to fail.
* Fix chattiness issue in mate-panel.
* Only examine descriptions by default in isSameObject for Gtk apps
for performance reasons.
* Use AXObject.is_dead instead of the script utility for performance
reasons.
* Revert "Don't let brlapi crash us". This change was a workaround
put in place to give distros enough time to get the fixed brltty,
but it had a slight performance impact if braille was enabled but
not being used.
* Stop using deprecated Gtk API in the accessible actions menu.

45.alpha - 5 August 2023
NOTE: A beta release will follow in a few days, hopefully including all
of the translations that are in master but never made it to the gnome-45
branch.
New and Modified Features:
* Object Navigator: This allows the user to navigate through a hierarchy
of UI objects. Bindings:
- Ctrl+Cthulhu+Up/Down for navigating between parent/child
- Ctrl+Cthulhu+Left/Right for navigating among siblings
- Ctrl+Cthulhu+Return for performing a click
- Ctrl+Cthulhu+S to toggle the simplification of the object hierarchy
* Flat Review can now by restricted to the current object of interest to
eliminate "noise" from irrelevant objects.
Binding: Currently unbound
* Flat Review now has a command that displays the entire contents being
reviewed in an editable text view, making it easier to copy and paste
the contents of terminals, dialogs, etc.
Binding: Currently unbound
* Action Presenter: A popup menu for performing accessible actions on an
object, such as click, expand/collapse, press. This should make it
easier to interact with applications with poor keyboard navigability.
Binding: Cthulhu+Shift+A
* The Notification List feature was re-written. It now uses an actual
Gtk list rather than an off-screen one. The review announcements now
include a timestamp and the dialog allows you to clear the history.
* Preferences Dialog and Shortcuts List are now grouped based on feature,
making it far easier to discover and bind/rebind commands of interest.
* The Structural Navigation command to navigate among form fields was
remapped from Cthulhu+Tab/Cthulhu+Shift+Tab to F/Shift+F. A new command was
also added to navigate among iframes, which is currently unbound.
* Added a command to present the default button. Binding: Cthulhu+E.
* Modify Cthulhu's left-click functionality to prefer actions which are
associated with performing a left click (e.g. click, press, jump,
open) and only attempt to synthesize a click as a last resort.
Bug Fixes and Other Improvements:
* Added the ability to temporarily suspend registration for accessibility
events which can greatly improve performance at times event floods are
likely, such as window creation/destruction and activation/deactivation.
* Started preferring AtspiCollection over child iteration to locate
descendants in the accessibility tree. The performance improvement can
be up to 10 times faster. We will continue making changes in this area
between now and the stable release.
* Started relying on speech-dispatcher for character presentation rather
than our own character names dictionary, which we were not always using.
This should cause Cthulhu to always speak the character name in the same
way.
* Interrupt speech conditionally on focus changes. This is needed for
Gtk 4 on Wayland because we currently do not get notifications for
input events, which had been our most reliable hint to interrupt speech.
The heuristics to identify when we should not interrupt speech are
still being refined, but hopefully this will make the user experience
a bit more tolerable until a solution is agreed upon and implemented.
See https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/issues/1046 for more
information.
* A number of improvements to reduce some lagginess and chattiness in
certain web apps.
* Added logic to filter out windows which claim to be active but really
aren't, including descendants of mutter-x11-frames, the desktop frame
of some window environments, and certain Electron apps.

3.37.1 - 23 April 2020
VSCode:
As a consequence of feature implementation and bug fixes described below
under "Chromium" and "Web," Cthulhu support for VSCode has been improved
significantly. Users are encouraged to test Cthulhu with VSCode Insiders
build, where Microsoft has many accessibility fixes to work with Cthulhu.
Chromium:
* Improve label inference for form fields without author-provided names
* Fix issue causing us to present the previous line in contenteditable
* Fix chattiness issue resulting from failing to consider the prior
object when generating labelOrName
* Fix false positive on identifying list item marker
* Prevent double-speaking of ARIA combobox value
* Don't speak child position for popup menus (it's always 1 of 1)
* Attempt to identify and work around possible missing window events
* Improve responsiveness of text selection in large objects
Web:
* Support navigation within focusable tooltips in web applications
* Update Cthulhu to handle new mappings for ARIA alert and alertdialog
* Add support for new ARIA code role
* Multiple performance improvements to event handling
* Ensure we always present ARIA groups with author-provided names

range widgets
* Don't announce returning to browse mode when page is loading
* Don't present load completed or page summary information if we are
in focus mode for a valid object
* Don't present loading message from pages which have no URI (fixes
some chattiness when launching Firefox)
* Ensure more objects with info get presented in flat review
* General improvements for presentation of ARIA comboboxes
* Don't iterate through all children of very complex SVGs (improves
performance)
* Ignore caret-moved events from outside the active grid in focus mode
(fixes chattiness and also incorrectly updating our location)
* Don't infer labels for any web app descendant (names must come from
authors in ARIA apps)
* Ensure we handle selection-change events from web app descendants
* Ensure we present the name of focused web documents
* Update focus when web app descendant claims focus, unless browse mode
is sticky
* Only present comment role when first entering the comment (chattiness)
* Fix bug causing us to not present text which is directly inside a
scroll pane
* Treat treeitems as a whole for the purpose of caret navigation
* Prevent Cthulhu from combining words into a single word in web content
when navigating by word

Thunderbird:

navigating in Settings
Mouse Review:
* Do not announce redundant information when enabling mouse review

* Fix window detection with more than one workspace
* Ensure we compare the top level document with the active one
* Fix mouse review on some web elements after scrolling
Chat apps:

present membership count changes, e.g. in Pidgin)
General:
* Reduce chattiness from page tab selection events following focus
* Reduce chattiness from text insertions resulting from page tab switch
* Don't re-present the description if the locusOfFocus hasn't changed
* Don't present position in list for comboboxes which lack children
* Fix bug causing us to not present changes in already-focused terminal
when Cthulhu is launched
* Only present the status bar if it is showing and visible (increases
likelihood of Cthulhu finding the right status bar when command to
speak the status bar is given)
* Prevent double-speaking of static text in alerts and other containers
* Speak "alert" role before its name rather than after

for this support to work, you will need a version of Chrome/Chromium
