---------- Forwarded message ----------
All,
Both the ILM release version and the Demo version of 7.1 are now posted
on the Web site. I have also included the list of Fixes from the What's
New page that went in between the final beta and final release. Please
spread the word if you would.
Regards,
Eric Damery
Fixes in the Final Release Version
The release version of JAWS 7.10 was made available on Thursday, June
21, 2006. The following issues were fixed between the last public beta
update and the final release version of JAWS:

properly announced when you use first letter navigation.

select text properly.
3. In previous versions, when you had detected SAPI 4 synthesizers
and then added a synthesizer using Installation Maintenance, JAWS

drivers when it starts.

installed correctly from the Synthesizer and Braille Manager.

the end of each check box in a list of check boxes while you are in
Forms Mode.
