Tárgy: [Tails-dev] State of TAILS accessibility with Orca; Tor totally works within Iran using Pluggable transports (ScrambleSuit)
Hi Guys

This is Hadi from Iran.
About last year, i sent a mail to Tails developer's list to include Orca
for blind and visually impaired, and almost very quickly it was
included, If i recall correctly.

I've tested tails 1.2 RC1, And there's a big problem with Orca in general.
The version of Orca that tails is running seems to be extremely old.
It's the version that was released alongside of Gnome 3.4 which i think
is about 2-3 years ago.
This version has serious issues with newer Firefox browser, Thunderbird
and Pidgin. It lacks many new features as well.
Is it possible to compile and include the latest version of Orca from
Orca Master git to Tails?
https://github.com/GNOME/orca
If it doesn't break compatibility or bring other new issues, It would be
very cool to have the latest Orca included instead of the very old one.
I was not sure that if this is possible, hense i'm sending this mail.

Regarding The current state of Iran vs Tor.
Last year i stopped using tails and Tor because Tor was very unstable on
Iran's connections and it used to not work at all.
Last weak i gave Tor a try with the new Pluggable Transport called
"ScrambleSuit", and It instantly connected to the Tor network, and i
wasn't getting any disconnects and dropouts for 10 hours straight!
This is a very huge advancement in Tor, just wanted to mention it.

Thanks everyone
Cheers
Hadi
