Don't everybody get too excited. First read the news below, including the list of new features and bug fixes, before you jump for that update feature on the Help menu. You very well may not want to bother. But here's what's up with this new build, from the horse's mouth at FS. I don't know who, because it was already forwarded when I found it on another of my mailing lists. >We just posted the minor update to JAWS 8 for the general public. >This update will be available from the Auto Update feature or by >downloading the full build of JAWS 8 and installing it over the >current version of JAWS 8 they have installed now. > >Anyone that installed the update posted the end of February >(8.0.1163) will not necessarily need to install this one. The >changes since 1163 (listed below) are primarily for customers who >have Windows 2000 so it is not critical that everyone get this one. >Anyone that did not install 1163 update, will get all of those >changes by updating now till 1173. It has all the updates in fact, >since the initial post back in November. > >By the second week of April, all shipping JAWS products and Demo >Products will be using this version on the CD. > > From the FS Web Pages, here are the fixes for this update: > > >Fixes in JAWS Version 8.0.1177 (Third automatic update) > > > >The following items were fixed in this update: > * Resolved an issue specific only to Windows 2000, which > involved tabbing in Internet Explorer 6, Adobe Acrobat Reader, or > HTML help. JAWS would use the name of the first link or control it > encountered for all subsequent links or controls on the page. > * Fixed a problem where JAWS was not recognizing the Review > Conversation History commands, ALT+1, ALT+2, ALT+3, and so on, in > AOL Instant Messenger. Now when you issue these AIM commands, JAWS > places focus on the chosen conversation. > * The System Requirements that appear in the JAWS Help file have > been modified to include Windows Vista. > >Note: Another update to the public beta for Windows Vista will be >posted in the next few weeks.
