v6.0b1

Changes from v6.0a1

Several bug fixes.

V6.0 Alpha 1

The add-on has been rewritten from scratch to improve performance and provide better compatibility with modern\ NVDA versions. During this iteration, I touched upon every function and every line of code.

Major highlights include:

• The minimum required NVDA version is 2019.3
• Vast improvements to the responsiveness of the add-on
• The add-on settings have been moved to NVDA's multi-category settings dialog
• Introducing the audio themes studio, which combines the capabilities of audio theme creation and editing
• Several enhancements to the user experience when editing and creating audio themes.

Audio Themes 5.1

Changes:

• Audible indication of the object when pressing nvda plus tab
• Addressing nvaccess/nvda#6203
• Several bug fixes to the audio themes manager dialog.

Audio Themes 5.1-beta

Changes from 5.0-beta:

• Major security and performance enhancements
• Added support for ogg audio format.
• The add-on is now aware of if NVDA is running in a secure mode and changes its options accordingly.
• All the dialogs are now correctly centred in the screen.
• The themes options (such as: Play in 3D mode and use synth volume) will no longer be enabled if the Disable audio themes option is activated.
• The add-on uses config.conf as its configuration facility
• The add-on was updated to the upstream add-on template
• In the audio themes manager, themes now show whether they are active or not
• Minor bug fixes.

Audio Themes 5.0-beta

What's new

• The add-on was rewritten from the scratch to enhance its performance, and generally to make things more easier.
• Added several new options in the Themes Manager dialogue including:
  • The ability to run the add-on in 3D mode or Mono Mode.
  • The ability to make NVDA ignore object role when announcing focus
  • The ability to control the volume of the add-on, either by setting the volume directly, or set it to follow the synthesizer volume.
• Audio themes now shows information about their authors, and authors can write a brief summary to describe their audio themes. Those information will be shown in the themes manager dialogue.
• Easier way to edit the current audio theme.
• Fewer steps and streamlined process to create a new audio theme.
• The add-on can be considered a wrapper over the Unspoken add-on which is being developed by Austin Hicks and Bryan Smart. The majority of my development went into the dialogues and audioThemeHandler modules.
