Hi all,

Windows App Essentials 21.10 is now available.

IMPORTANT: Windows App Essentials 21.10 requires NVDA 2021.2 or later.

Changelog:

  • NVDA 2021.2 is required due to massive internal changes including control types refactor that affect this add-on.
  • Initial support for Windows 11 Version 21H2 (RTM), not to be confused with Windows 10 Version 21H2 and Server 2022.
  • Various features that were included with the add-on are now part of NVDA. These include braille announcements when entering expressions in Calculator, announcing suggestion count in File Explorer, improved item detection when emoji panel and clipboard history opens in recent Windows 10 releases, among others.
  • Removed app modules for Calendar and Windows 10/11 search app (NVDA includes Windows 10 and 11 search app modules).
  • Removed support for pre-refactor control types module contents in NVDA 2021.1 or earlier. Consequently, roles and states from refactored control types package are used.
  • The Windows 11 support notice dialog for stable add-on releases and a startup message for detecting Windows 11 are removed.
  • With event tracking for most events transferred to Event Tracker add-on, only events added by this add-on such as layout invalidated event will be tracked and logged, as well as removed the ability to track specific events and/or events coming from specific apps.
  • The ability to recognize additional dialogs is deprecated and will be removed in a future release as Windows and apps were updated to let NvDA detect dialogs properly.
  • Mail: removed suggestions sound playback functionality for at address suggestions.
  • Windows Search: removed the Windows 10 search app module as it does not provide improved experience for braille users.

Enjoy.
