1. Introduction

1.1. General

Sorry, but this manual is not available in English today. The original manual is written in french (french manual) and is not translated to this day.

1.2. update

The update of the add-on is, by default, automatically a short time after the start of NVDA (between 20 and 600 seconds) and a maximum of once per day. It is possible to disable this update by unchecking the option "automatically check for updates" of "Update" category in the add-on's settings. The version of the add-on can be:

• a stable version: its version number is "1.0" for example.
• either a development version: the version number is of the type "1.0-dev1", or "1.0-rc1", or "1.0-beta2".

By default, the stable version is updated with a stable version more recent (higher version number). But it is possible to update the stable version running with a development version of the next stable version. Just check the option "Update also update the stable release to the versions of development" located in the "Update" category of add-on's settings.

A development version is updated:

• with a more recent development version,
• with its stable version,
• or with the latest stable version if the previous option is not checked.

The button "Search for update" placed in the add-on's settings, menu item "Update", allows you to search immediately for an update.

The "View history" button, placed in this same category, allows you to display the history of the current version in the browser.

In the case of an automatic update and if a new version is detected, the "Update" dialog box is displayed to suggest:

• either the immediate installation of the new version,
• or to postpone the update until later. In this case, the search will be restarted at least one hour later.

In the case of an update to a stable version, the "What's new" button offers the possibility of opening, in the browser, the history of the add-on and thus being able to know the new features of the proposed version.
