49.0 - 17 September 2025

New Features:

* Orca-controlled caret navigation is now available in all text objects;
  not just web content. To toggle it, try Orca + F12. Note that there
  are still improvements to be made and bugs to be fixed.

* Support for more commands and settings have been added to the D-Bus
 "Remote Controller".

Other Changes:

* Restore OnlyShowIn=GNOME to the orca-autostart.desktop file so that Orca
  v49 and later can be autostarted in earlier versions of GNOME. Execute
  Orca with `--replace` so that when autostart is used, any previously-
  running versions of Orca are terminated first.

* Present static text descriptions associated with GtkList ancestors.

* Speak system messages with "some" punctuation rather than "no"
  punctuation to ensure symbols like percentage are spoken.

* Treat unicode mark characters as diacritics for the purpose of key
  echo so that combining characters are spoken.

* Fix echoing of keypad keys when NumLock is on.

* Fix incorrect identification of keys by always using keysyms rather
  than keycodes.

* Improve the presentation of voice names in Preferences by using the
  variant name when one is provided and sorting the list that populates
  the combo box.

* Fix several flat review bugs.
