MathCAT 0.6.3 (Build for NVDA 2024.1)

New Features

• Added new preference DecimalSeparator.
  • The default value is Auto, with other values being ".", ",", and "Custom". The first three values set DecimalSeparators and BlockSeparators.
  • Auto sets those preferences based on the value of the Language pref. For some language such as Spanish, , is used in some countries and . is used in others. In this case, it is best to set the language to also include the country code (e.g, es-es or es-mx) to ensure the right value is used.
• Added Swedish to supported languages.

Bug Fixes and other changes

• All the language and braille Rule files are zipped up per directory and unzipped on demand.
  • This currently saves ~5mb when Rules.zip is unzipped, and will save even more as more languages and braille codes are added.
  • This is in preparation for MathCAT being built into NVDA 2024.3
• Added more Unicode chars to include both all Unicode chars marked as "Sm" and those with a mathclass (except Alphabetic and Glyph classes) in the Unicode standard.
• After changing how prefs work in a previous version, I forgot to change MathRate and PauseFactor to be numbers, not strings.
• Fixed bug in the braille Rules (missed change from earlier) where a third argument should have been given to say to look in the Braille definitions.yaml files and not the speech ones when looking up the value of a definition.
• Cleaned up use of definitions.yaml.
• Fixed some bugs in the MathML cleanup for "," decimal separators.
• Found a bug in braille highlighting when nothing is highlighted (maybe never happens which is why I didn't see it in practice?)
• Fixed "Describe" mode so that it works -- it is still very minimal and probably not useful yet
• Fixed minimum supported version
