Hello everyone

 

There is a free update for version 6 customers on the internet updater.  To
download the update please select menu items 9 (Guide Extras) - 8 (System
settings) - 8 (Check for program updates).  After checking Guide will
provide a new option 1 (Download update).  Please follow the instructions as
announced.

 

This version has a number of improvements, these are;

 

Internet 

FIXED: UK English version of Guide was missing the Help file for the web
browser, this is now included. (Bug #20186)

FIXED: The content of some websites did not zoom correctly using the full
web browser. At high magnification levels, on specific websites, the web
browser was unable to navigate to an item that was off the top of the screen
(eg: the BBC news website).

FIXED: The web browser couldn't download anything if the Adobe updater was
active. If detected, the Adobe updater app will close when Guide is active.
(Bug #19908)

FIXED: Guide's full web browser was refreshing over and over again when
visiting a website with malformed JavaScript. 

FIXED: Guide now pronounces capital letters in the web browser; when
entering text into website form fields capital letter is prefixed with
'Capital' in the speech. (Bug #18259)

FIXED: It was not possible to send web browser settings via the Internet
Updater. (Bug #19951).

FIXED: Guide no longer inserts 'yyyyy' into the address bar if SecureDoc is
installed on the PC. (Bug #19300)

FIXED: Guide's web browser would not download .ZIP files. (Bugs #15132,
18971, 19215, 19305 & 19409)

 

NLS Book Reader (US version only)

NEW: NLS Book reader module added to US English versions of Guide. National
Library of Congress Bard audio books can now be easily downloaded and
installed onto a Daisy reader (such as the Victor Reader). Watch our video
to see just how easy it is  <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3g6RMTlp_0A>
using Guide with NLS books.

 

MP3 Player

NEW: Previous and next button in the Guide MP3 player, allows you to move
between audio tracks.

Remote Support.

 

IMPROVEMENT: Guide now uses a new URL for remote support.

Podcasts, RSS and Radio.

 

IMPROVEMENT: Guide now uses new URLs for the lists of Podcasts, RSS feeds
and online Radio Stations - this list is shared with other Dolphin software
tools for improved maintenance and reliability.

FIXED: When loading RSS News feeds some sites would cause Guide to pause
until the user pressed escape to quit the download. This issue is now fixed.

Localisation.

 

FIXED: Speech prompts in the PDF reader were in English for translated
versions of Guide.

 

Spelling

NEW: Now supports using Microsoft Word's 

End.

 

Best regards,

 

Phil
