I don't know why, but we're almost never told anything about what Apple
does/fixes with VoiceOver. In fact, we almost never hear anything about
VoiceOver at all until a major version shows up on a new OS. VoiceOver
certainly changes with OS updates, but the people in Apple accessibility either
won't, or are told not to, keep anyone in the loop about what happens with
VoiceOver. When a new OS patch comes out, it is entirely on you to push every
button, dig through every menu, re-try every app and see if you can discover a
change.
I think that's wrong. I don't know why VO changes can't be listed along with an
OS release.
For example, every last freakin' developer release of 10.6.4 talked about VO
changes, particularly as affects the iLife applications. However, when the
release of 10.6.4 comes out, the only mention of it is, wait for it, support
for a few more Braille displays. That's it? Why generate all of that hype along
the way, and not talk about it at the end?
Who knows. Probably a lot of hard work went in to updating VO to fix some tough
problems. Too bad that most of it will go unnoticed, because no one knows where
to look. People won't even know that a previously inaccessible app is working
well now until someone decides to beat their head against a brick wall a few
months from now, and is pleasantly surprised to find that Apple fixed that
months ago.

Hi all,
At the first look, I saw no new features or changes.
Also, I have only one update for 1.6.4 and no new updates for iwork 09.
Was this one package?
I haven't seen , with a first test, that misspelled words where announced in
iwork like done in mail and textedit.
Also, in textedit and mail, the wordcompletion with suggestions while typing
where not working in iwork I think.
Is there a detailed list already available about the new features in 10.6.4
(with voiceover)?
The website of
http://www.lioncourt.com/2010/06/15/apple-releases-mac-os-x-10-6-4-with-braille-display-improvements-and-more/
didn't give more details.
we 'll see if the fix: drag and drop with vo, safari 5 issues... are done.
Any comments are very welcome
best regards,
William
