  13. Here's the initial release of my Inform 7 access addon. Still early days, you have been warned, yadda yadda yadda.
    What it does:
    Adds automatic readout to the interpreter window
    Allows you to query the status line with NVDA+END or NVDA+SHIFT+END depending on layout
    Adds review keys to the interpreter window that use a cursor of their own so you don't lose your place just by typing
    Supports syntax highlighting in the editor via speech, speech and sounds, sounds alone, or none to disable it.
    Grab it here: github.com/ironcross32/inform_
    Go to the downloads heading and click the link, then navigate to the assets button and grab the addon.

  25. If you use the eloquence64 #eloquence addon for the #NVDA #screenreader, a critical security release is now available. This is a critical update! Please update as soon as possible.

    If you use Eloquence64 on secure screens, after the update, you must
    IMMEDIATELY! go to NVDA's settings dialogue, select eloquence from the list box, and press the "copy helper to system config" button again.

    It fixes the following issues:
    * fix: eloquence64 now clears its log file on start
    * Fix: in some cases, eloquence64 could write to its log file at 30 megs per second
    * fix: in some cases, eloquence64 created multiple temp files and directories that could not be removed
    * fix: in some cases, eloquence64 could unexpectedly leave a port open on the computer
    * fix: the port and key to communicate with eloquence could be intercepted by other processes running on the machine
    * fix: in rare cases, it could have been possible for other processes on the user's machine to cause the addon to load and run arbitrary Python code by causing it to deserialize an attacker supplied pickle. If the addon was running on a secure screen, this would mean instant privilege escalation.
    * fixed: crashing or frozen NVDA will no longer leave orphaned eloquence processes behind
    * fix: more reliable pause and break lengths
    * security hardening: switch to named pipes with DACL for IPC, ensuring no other process can use the 32-bit host
