Subject: [duxnews] Announcing DBT 12.1 sr1<br>
Date: Mon, 12 Sep 2016 15:16:16 -0400<br>
thread-index: AdINKiJDxkAfwtUeTly0/Wb/iO+DKQ==<br><br>
We have just recently released a service release for DBT 12.1.<br>
<br>
Here are the primary improvements:<br>
<br>
<br>
* In all UEB templates as well as those derived from
UEB, the computer braille styles are updated to render accurate word
breaking. Only those templates specifically for older (pre-UEB) documents
still enforce the Pre-UEB word breaking rules.<br>
* The four DBT BANA templates (both UEB and Pre-UEB)
are once again updated to the most recent versions. This corrects some
formatting errors in the 12.1 BANA templates and includes BB-BoxBegin and
H1-HeadingCentered.<br>
* In the English/American (pre-UEB) print-to-braille
tables, the output of underline symbols is restored.<br>
* In the English/Unified (UEB) print-to-braille table
certain contractions that follow an apostrophe have been improved.<br>
* The Afrikaans print-to-braille table and Sotho
print-to-braille table have been updated with contraction changes
received recently from South Africa.<br>
* Refinements in the Welsh print-to-braille table
restrict shortform usage within large words to the officially approved
list and ensure that strings of letters that could be read as extended
shortforms are appropriately marked with grade 1 indicators. Other
improvements include automated generation of hyphenation points within
long technical expressions such as URLs.<br>
* For Myanmar text, DBT now handles some additional,
critical Burmese characters for translating Burmese text to braille.<br>
<br>
This service release also features the following JAWS script
improvements:<br>
* The script files for DBT 12.1 changed the technique
for SayWord to insure the whole word was gathered and spoken. This change
compromised making a selection. The latest script insures that if a
selection is in progress, all the words in the selection are
retained.<br>
* When using a braille display with JAWS 17, the
script files manage the JAWS braille translation settings better (turning
off input<br>
translation) to ensure that output translation is off when you are
viewing a braille document.<br>
* The save and restore of a Speech Profile is now
limited to JAWS<br>
version17 and higher to prevent "unknown function" errors in
earlier versions of JAWS.<br>
* Repetitious announcements of "computer
braille" when the window focus is shifted are now suppressed.<br>
<br>
