 - The "Use currently saved settings on the logon and other secure screens" button in NVDA's General Settings dialog now works if used immediately after NVDA is newly installed but before a secure screen has appeared. Previously, NVDA reported that copying was successful, but it actually had no effect. (#1194)\r

+== Changes for Developers ==\r
+- SCons is now used to prepare the source tree and create binary builds, portable archives, installers, etc. See readme.txt at the root of the source distribution for details.\r
+- The key names used by NVDA (including key maps) have been made more friendly/logical; e.g. upArrow instead of extendedUp and numpadPageUp instead of prior. See the vkCodes module for a list.\r
+-All input from the user is now represented by an inputCore.InputGesture instance. (#601)\r
+ - Each source of input subclasses the base InputGesture class. For example, key presses are encompassed by the keyboardHandler.KeyboardInputGesture class.\r
+- Input gestures are bound to ScriptableObjects using the ScriptableObject.bindGesture() method on an instance or an __gestures dict on the class which maps gesture identifiers to script names. See baseObject.ScriptableObject for details.\r
+- App modules no longer have key map files. All input gesture bindings must be done in the app module itself.\r
+- All scripts now take an InputGesture instance instead of a key press.\r
+ - KeyboardInputGestures can be sent on to the OS using the send() method of the gesture.\r
+- To send an arbitrary key press, you must now create a KeyboardInputGesture using KeyboardInputGesture.fromName() and then use its send() method.\r
+- Locales may now provide an input gesture map file to add new bindings or override existing bindings for scripts anywhere in NVDA. (#810)\r
+ - Locale gesture maps should be placed in locale\LANG\gestures.ini, where LANG is the language code.\r
+ - See inputCore.GlobalGestureMap for details of the file format.\r
+- The new LiveText and Terminal NVDAObject behaviors facilitate automatic reporting of new text. See those classes in NVDAObjects.behaviors for details. (#936)\r
+ - The NVDAObjects.window.DisplayModelLiveText overlay class can be used for objects which must retrieve text written to the display.\r
+ - See the mirc and putty app modules for usage examples.\r
