The Orca open-source screen reader and magnifier software has reached version 3.17.4 as part of the upcoming GNOME 3.17.4 desktop environment.

Orca 3.17.4 is a feature release that implements speech support for MathML content in web browsers powered by the Gecko engine, adds a handling for the ROLE_HEADER variable, and adds support for notifications in the status bar.

The gnome-autogen.sh script has been deprecated, state-changed:busy events are now being ignored from nested web docs, non-focused links won't get locusOfFocus until the document is in focus, Evo's "autocomplete" popups are now being handled automatically, and a utility method has been created for getting and caching the tags of a web element.
